Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration
This is a fun activity to do during the festival. It’s a scavenger hunt that takes guests on a search throughout the World Showcase on Spike the Bee’s pollination trail. To take part in the scavenger hunt guests will need to purchase a map and stickers, which can be found at select merchandise locations for around $10. Then the search for Spike begins. Each time he is found, a sticker is added to the map. Once the map is complete guests can take it to Disney Traders, Creations Shop, or World Traveler to receive a surprise.
Garden Rocks Concert Series
Each night of the festival there are concerts at the American Garden Theatre in the America Pavilion. During the week guests can see local artists perform and on the weekends globally recognized artists will be playing. Showtimes each night are 5:40pm, 6:45pm, and 8pm. You can check out a list of the dates for the globally recognized artists here.
Merchandise Collections
Each year Disney releases specialty merchandise for the festival. This year guests will find an Orange Bird Collection, a Spike the Bee Collection, and an Alice in Wonderland Collection. Each of these collections will be available in different types of merchandise, such as apparel, accessories, garden items, trading pins, ear headbands, and more.
Disney has not yet released the list of Outdoor Kitchens or the Garden Graze Activity. The website says information will be released in late February, so I’ll update once that information is released, which will hopefully be soon.

I love all things Disney, but my main love is for Disney World and I'm always planning for the next trip. Before becoming a Disney blogger, I was a radio DJ, so I guess I'm just continuing in the communication industry, just in a different form. I love talking Disney and I could talk about Disney all day. That's why I started blogging and created the Facebook group. The Disney community is full of friendly, helpful, and happy people...and I love being a part of it! If there is any Disney subject you would like to see covered just let me know! Need help planning your Disney vacation. Feel free to contact myself or Melissa at Never Stop Dreaming Travel Co. We love helping people plan their trips! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!
