EPCOT's The Land Pavilion will offer a special limited-time tour this holiday season: Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses.

This one-hour walking tour will take guests through the greenhouses at The Land, with a holiday twist, featuring festive light displays and a focus on the crops that enhance traditional holiday flavors.

Tour Details

The Glimmering Greenhouses tour will be available from November 29 through December 30, 2024, at 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm daily. Tickets for the experience are $45 per person, with tax not included. It's suitable for all ages, though a paying adult must accompany guests under 18. Participants will need to purchase valid admission to EPCOT, and a park reservation may be required depending on your ticket type.

What to Expect

During this tour, guests will:

  • Learn about the role crops play in holiday traditions.
  • See sustainable growing techniques used in the hydroponic greenhouses.
  • Experience festive lighting displays throughout the greenhouses.

The Behind the Seeds tour is a well-established offering at EPCOT, and this holiday version brings an additional seasonal element to the experience. The Behind the Seeds tour is still available during the day.

Advance reservations for the Glimmering Greenhouses tour are highly recommended due to limited availability and will be available online or via the My Disney Experience app. Same-day reservations may be available but are not guaranteed. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the tour time will forfeit the full price of the ticket.

I wonder if Chefs de France have their wreaths and garlands like they use to

This entire forum is trivial. Everything we talk about here is insignificant in the grand scheme of the things. Just because something isn’t important to you doesn’t mean it’s not important to others. I’m sure there are things you place importance in that others don’t care about.

Glad we booked Biergarten!

Diamond Horseshoe and Biergarten have full decor. And La Hacienda de San Angel has minimal decor but has at least wreaths. There might be more but there’s at least still some table service restaurants that decorate.

Could this be the last yeah I have to hear John Legends awful, woke “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”? I’m pretty woke but…cringe.

You know, looking back on it, Disney always had a sort of certain charm in the 70's and early 80's with its notable C List celebrities they'd get to appear in TV specials like this. And with the odd exception of Elton John, that is definitely a C List. But somehow, when it's actually happening, the C Listers of today aren't as charming at the time as they'll be 20 years from now. Also, I'm pretty sure a couple names on that guest list are going to be mentioned in the upcoming Sean Combs trial.

I looked at the 17th; but when I compare the cost for two of us to attend vs. the price of a Pixie Pass, it gives me pause. It’s just a few dollars less. We are going 12/16-12/18 and 12/24-12/26. The price of single day tickets to go on Christmas are also almost as much as a Pixie Pass, and you can’t buy tickets for Christmas and then apply them to an AP upgrade that would black out Christmas. So it’s looking like a Disney Springs or resort holiday unless I break down at the last minute.

What’s baffling to me is this bothering you. You act like it’s important. It’s trivial. Now you’re getting it.

It doesn't seem like Disney is decorating any F&B locations anymore. I have noticed that all decor has returned to Merchandise locations though.

It's funny that after Disney left to create their own cruise line Warner Bros took over the Big Red Boat..

The first "Disney Cruise Line", Premier Cruise Line. I did a high school senior cruise with them from Port Canaveral to Nassau and back.
