Spring 2027 is already blooming at Walt Disney World Resort, and the calendar has plenty of reasons to start plotting a park-day escape. EPCOT festivals, Disney After Hours nights and several Disney Resorts Collection savings offers are all on deck.
Bookings for the 2027 offers opened Sept. 10, 2026, putting a little planning pixie dust within reach well before the first topiary takes root.
Art Takes Over EPCOT First
The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts Presented by Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game returns Jan. 15 through March 1, 2027, with the festival run extended by an extra week. EPCOT becomes a living gallery where visual, culinary and performing arts share the spotlight—and occasionally the same itinerary.
Food and beverage teams will turn colorful ingredients and creative techniques into edible artwork, with a Disney Eats Foodie Guide still to come. The DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series also returns to the America Gardens Theatre, bringing Broadway performers together to sing Disney songs that have won over audiences around the world.
Disney Lorcana joins the festival fun, too, with family-friendly experiences celebrating the artwork found on the trading cards.
Then the Gardens Get Their Moment
The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival follows from March 10 through May 31, 2027. Expect gardens, colorful floral landscapes, Disney character topiaries and horticultural displays around World Showcase and beyond. It is springtime with considerably more sculpted shrubbery.
Outdoor Kitchens will serve fresh, spring-inspired dishes and beverages throughout the park; a full Disney Eats Foodie Guide is expected later. The festival also brings back the Garden Rocks Concert Series, hands-on family activities and plenty of gardening inspiration tucked around the park.
After Hours, Before the Crowds Wake Up
Disney After Hours returns to select Walt Disney World theme parks in 2027, keeping popular attractions running after regular park closing during limited-capacity events. Event admission also includes complimentary snacks and select bottled beverages, and ticket holders can enter the park a few hours before the event officially begins.
Among the headliners: Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, TRON Lightcycle / Run presented by Enterprise at Magic Kingdom Park and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT.
- Magic Kingdom Park: Select nights Jan. 11 through July 19, 2027
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Select nights Jan. 16 through Aug. 25, 2027
- EPCOT: Select nights Jan. 21 through Aug. 19, 2027
Guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels or Shades of Green can purchase Disney After Hours tickets starting Sept. 10, 2026. Tickets go on sale to all other guests Sept. 22, 2026.
Three Ways to Keep More in the Vacation Fund
For select nights Jan. 3 through July 28, 2027, eligible 4-night, 4-day room-and-ticket packages at Disney Resorts Collection hotels can save up to $250 per night.
Another offer brings savings of up to 25% on select Disney Resorts Collection rooms for select nights Jan. 3 through April 29, 2027.
Disney Visa Cardmembers have an additional option: eligible Cardmembers can save up to 30% on stays of five nights or longer, including special January and February weekend discounts. This offer is valid for select nights Jan. 3 through April 29, 2027.
A 2027 Park Day Has Plenty of Plot Twists
Beyond the seasonal events, a 2027 Walt Disney World visit can include the new Magic of Disney Animation at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station and Zootopia: Better Zoogether! There are also familiar favorites waiting in the wings, from Slinky Dog Dash and Frozen Ever After to Festival of Fantasy Parade and Mad Tea Party.
Disney water parks, Disney Springs and all four theme parks round out the possibilities. Whether the agenda calls for festival bites, late-night coaster laps or a longer resort stay, spring 2027 has already put on quite a show.
