Disney has announced that the festive walking experience Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses will return to EPCOT during the 2026 holiday season. This limited-time tour runs alongside the International Festival of the Holidays and offers guests an up-close look at illuminated greenhouses inside The Land Pavilion. Unlike traditional boat tours, visitors will walk through working greenhouses with a Disney agricultural expert for a one-hour guided experience. Participants can explore festive light displays, learn about holiday food crops grown on-site, and see high-tech agriculture techniques in holiday colors. Reservations are extremely limited due to small group sizes and open on September 24, 2026. Guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels have a booking advantage with their 60-day window plus stay length. The traditional daytime Behind the Seeds tour will continue running throughout the season as well.
