Glimmering Greenhouses Returns to EPCOT’s Behind the Seeds Tour
Holiday magic is officially making its way back to World Nature! Disney has confirmed that the festive night-time walking experience Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses will return to EPCOT for the 2026 holiday season.
Running alongside the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, this limited-time walking tour gives guests an up-close, behind-the-scenes look at the glowing, illuminated greenhouses inside The Land Pavilion.
If you love the holiday light overlay on Living with the Land, this walking tour takes that magic to an entirely new level. Instead of viewing the sparkling displays from a boat, you’ll walk right through the working greenhouses alongside a knowledgeable Disney agricultural expert.
During the 1-hour guided walking tour, guests will:
- Explore Festive Light Displays: Walk directly beneath glowing arches, twinkling light tunnels, and seasonal displays set up throughout the facility.
- Discover Holiday Food Crops: Learn about the unique fruits, vegetables, and spices grown right in the pavilion that fuel traditional holiday dishes around the world.
- See Cutting-Edge Agriculture: Get an insider’s look at high-tech growing techniques, including hydroponics and aeroponics, illuminated in brilliant holiday colors.
The traditional daytime Behind the Seeds tour will continue to run as scheduled throughout the season.
Because group sizes are kept small to ensure an intimate experience, reservations for this tour are extremely limited and sell out quickly. Mark your calendars for September 24, 2026, when bookings officially open!
