I’m looking into the merchandise available for the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, and I’ve found a lot of fun items that you and your family might enjoy. This year’s festival runs from March 4 to June 1, 2026, and the focus seems to be on beloved characters like Spike the Bee and Orange Bird, along with some nods to Alice in Wonderland and perennial favorites like Mickey and Minnie. I’ve gathered details on various collections, including those specifically for Annual Passholders, to help you plan your visit.
Spike the Bee Merchandise
For fans of Spike the Bee, there are several charming items. A standout is the Spike the Bee Loungefly Bag Set, which includes a crossbody bag and a zip pouch. They are designed to look like Spike hugging a Spaceship Earth-shaped beehive. The details, like his applique face and embroidered flowers, are really sweet. The interior lining has a pattern of flowers and Spike, making it a special find.
I also noticed a couple of t-shirts featuring Spike. One is a pale yellow, boxy style with a festival wordmark and Spike on the front. The back has a larger image of Spike holding juice, surrounded by flowers. Another t-shirt is blue, with Spike wearing sunglasses and “Spike the Bee” written below him. The Spaceship Earth hive is on the sleeve.
If you’re looking for something for your home or garden, a garden stake topped with a Spike the Bee figure could be a cute addition. There’s also a shoulder plush so you can take Spike with you on your adventures. For a unique touch, a trash can salt and pepper shaker set features artwork of Spike, his beehive, and honeycomb patterns. It’s a fun, quirky item.
Orange Bird Collection
The Orange Bird collection is full of bright, cheerful items. I found a fitted t-shirt in white with embroidered details on the front and a sweet applique of Orange Bird’s face surrounded by flowers on the back. A mint green tank top also features Orange Bird alongside a Citrus Swirl treat, with embroidered words that say “Enjoy Sun & Fun for Everyone!”.
For the younger ones, a pale orange youth t-shirt has Orange Bird lounging with a Citrus Swirl and the words “Treat Yourself” printed below. A classic baseball cap in orange has an Orange Bird applique on the front, and an embroidered crate of oranges on the back. This feels like a piece that Sofia would love to wear.
There’s also a nicely sculpted ornament depicting Orange Bird peeking out of an orange crate, complete with a festival label and a Citrus Swirl. A mug inspired by the Citrus Swirl snack is also available; it’s shaped like a flower pot with Orange Bird on one side and the festival wordmark on the other. For keeping your notes organized, an orange “crate” notepad holder features the Sunshine Tree Original logo and a festival label.
I saw some fun plant magnets too, designed as Orange Bird’s sunglasses, a ladybug, a Mickey cactus, and a Spaceship Earth made of oranges. Another unique trash can salt and pepper shaker set features Orange Bird, Spaceship Earth, and orange details, with an orange on top. These are wonderful for adding a bit of character to everyday items.
Spike the Bee and Orange Bird Combined Items
Some of the most delightful items blend Spike the Bee and Orange Bird. I found a Dooney & Bourke crossbody bag with an all-over pattern featuring both characters, flowers, Citrus Swirl, and Spaceship Earth. It looks like a sophisticated way to carry your festival souvenirs, with a leather tag and a flap closure.
A Loungefly backpack designed like a wooden crate is also available. It has a festival label with a Spaceship Earth topiary and a Spike the Bee applique. Orange Bird is peeking out from the top with oranges. This bag looks versatile and can be worn in different ways, which is great for a day at the park.
The Spirit Jersey is a lovely pastel orange and features Orange Bird wearing sunglasses on the front. The back has the festival wordmark above a vibrant image of Orange Bird and Spike with an orange crate, oranges, and a DOLE Whip. I also spotted a Minnie Ear Headband with both Spike and Orange Bird beautifully embroidered on the ears, surrounded by a textured bow that resembles a hedge. The back of the ears has festival details and a charm in the center with Spaceship Earth-inspired shapes.
Another t-shirt in a pastel light blue color showcases the same artwork of Spike the Bee and Orange Bird on the back as the Spirit Jersey. For garden enthusiasts, a garden stake set includes stakes topped with both Orange Bird and Spike the Bee figures. A mini photo frame resembling a crate of oranges with both characters on the sides is perfect for displaying a favorite festival memory.
Alice in Wonderland Inspired Collection
For those who love a touch of whimsy, an Alice in Wonderland collection is available. The Bread-and-Butterfly Loungefly Purse is quite unique, with large applique wings shaped like bread and butter. I noticed it has a different color scheme this year compared to last year’s version.
The back of this purse features artwork of Alice surrounded by flowers, butterflies, and the Caterpillar, with Spaceship Earth line art in the background. It comes with a detachable strap adorned with flower appliques. The interior lining is patterned with characters and flowers. A green crew neck sweatshirt proudly displays the festival wordmark on the left chest, with “Flower & Garden” in cursive. The back has the same wordmark alongside artwork of a grumpy Caterpillar, flowers, butterflies, and Spaceship Earth line art.
I also saw a cropped t-shirt in a faded blue color with embroidered festival details and a rocking horsefly on the left chest. The back has artwork of Alice with large butterflies and singing flowers, with subtle Spaceship Earth line art. A bright pink shift dress is also part of this collection, patterned with embroidered rocking horseflies and bread-and-butterflies.
There’s a Loungefly Ear Headband inspired by Alice, featuring Alice on one ear and the Caterpillar on the other. The bow has a butterfly design incorporating Spaceship Earth and Alice’s silhouette. The back of the ears show characters and the World Showcase skyline. These items add a fun, storybook element to the festival merchandise.
Annual Passholder Exclusives
There are several items specifically for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders. A floral sling backpack in light green features an all-over pattern of gardening supplies and fireworks. It includes a chenille keychain of Mickey and “Passholder” embroidered on it. A passholder adult t-shirt has small embroidered Mickey artwork on the front, surrounded by gardening items, and on the back, a larger printed scene of Mickey and Minnie gardening in front of Spaceship Earth.
A passholder Mickey hat features an embroidered full-body Mickey holding a flower on the front, with “Passholder” on the back. Seed packet appliques add a cute touch to the sides. A flower pot mug resembles a clay flowerpot with Mickey and Minnie gardening art on one side and “Passholder” and festival details on the other. I also found a silicone magnet with artwork of Mickey, Minnie, and Spaceship Earth, with “Passholder” across the top.
For pin collectors, there are exclusive passholder pins. An event edition pin features Spike the Bee relaxing on a basket of flowers, with “Passholder” at the top. There’s also a limited release pin of Mickey and Minnie gardening in front of Spaceship Earth, with the festival wordmark in the grass.
Collectible Pins
Beyond the passholder pins, the festival offers several other collectible pins that are event editions. I found pins featuring topiaries of Rafiki, Peter Pan, Lumiere, and Figment. Each pin comes with a festival logo on a hangtag that matches the character or theme. These are usually limited in quantity, so it’s good to keep an eye on them if you collect pins.
There’s also an event edition pin of Orange Bird popping out of an orange crate, with some oranges and a DOLE Whip next to it. For Spike the Bee fans, a limited release pin shows him sitting in a beehive, holding a glass of lemonade, with some flowers and a potential hidden Mickey. Another limited release pin features Orange Bird encouraging you to “Treat yourself,” resting against a DOLE Whip cup.
Planning Your Visit
When planning your trip, remember that merchandise availability can change, and prices are always subject to updates. It’s a good idea to check the official EPCOT or Disney Parks website closer to your visit for the most current information on what’s available.
I think these items offer a wonderful way to remember your time at the festival. For families, especially with younger children like Emma, items featuring characters like Spike the Bee and Orange Bird are always a hit. I’m considering some of the smaller items like the shoulder plush or the salt and pepper shakers, as they are easy to pack.
Looking at all these options makes me excited to plan a potential visit to the Orlando area. It’s always good to have a mix of souvenirs that are practical and those that are purely for fun. Planning ahead ensures you can find what you’re looking for, especially if you’re aiming for specific collections.
For families, focusing on easy-to-manage items is key. Things like hats, t-shirts, and small accessories are great for kids, while adults might appreciate the Loungefly bags or Dooney & Bourke items. It looks like there’s something for everyone this year.
I’m always on the lookout for ways to make family trips smoother. Making sure you know where to find these items, like Creations Shop or festival markets, can save a lot of time and searching when you’re there. It’s also helpful to have a budget in mind for souvenirs.
I’m looking forward to seeing how these character themes play out in the park decorations as well. The festival is such a beautiful time of year to visit, and the merchandise really adds to the festive atmosphere.
