Groot Grooves Again at the 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival!
The 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is officially in full bloom—and this year, everyone’s favorite music-loving tree is back in action! After a silent start to the festival, the Groot topiary near the entrance to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has resumed its musical magic.

Originally debuting in 2024, the Groot topiary quickly became a fan favorite, complete with a spinning cassette tape labeled “Green-House Mix Vol. 1”—a clever nod to Awesome Mix Vol. 1 from the Guardians of the Galaxy films. Last year, Groot played a retro hit every 20 minutes, and the cassette’s wheels would spin in time with the music.
For 2025, Groot has moved to a new location in the same garden near Cosmic Rewind, and while the cassette wheels remain motionless for now, the tunes are back—and better than ever. The playlist now plays every 15 minutes, letting guests enjoy more music while wandering through World Discovery. This year’s setlist includes returning favorites like “Come and Get Your Love,” “Escape (The Piña Colada Song),” “I Want You Back,” and “Mr. Blue Sky,” along with a new addition for 2025: “Disco Inferno.” Interestingly, “Disco Inferno” was listed on Groot’s playlist last year but never actually played—until now.

The Groot topiary is just one of many magical sights and sounds that make up the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, running March 5 to June 2, 2025. From whimsical gardens and butterfly landings to food kiosks and scavenger hunts, the festival is a vibrant celebration of spring that offers something for everyone.
So grab your ear headband, find a sunny spot near Groot, and enjoy the galactic grooves and garden goodness all season long.
