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.

They are however using the Enchantment launch sites for some reason though.

Wouldn’t these people rather know ahead of time instead of being turned around at the auto plaza?

whoever decided reservations were still a good idea. There’s a reason first come first serve worked well for decades. But no let’s continue to make the place more effort for guests, especially first timers.

Of note, guests using date based tickets are not required to make reservations.

Single-day-tickets for MK are not available on Christmas Eve nor Christmas Day. Disney would rather have a manageable crowd than anyone's $190.

Disney actively tries to prevent that. They have to staff more and GSATs plummet anyway. No one wins.

Many around here have been saying for weeks - "The crowds are coming! The crowds are coming!"

Who said there are supposed to be hordes of people? The whole purpose of reservations, limited passes, and surge pricing was to discourage the kind of numbers that shut down a gate. And to make money.

Big crowds are expected after Christmas until January 4th. This past weekend through Christmas Day was supposed to be moderate busy according to projections.

*Checks current wait times* *Notes there isn't anything out of the ordinary, with SDD and FoP having 2 and 2.5 hour waits* Where are the hordes of people that were supposed to descend on the parks this week? Maybe they all stayed away once LLPP sold out...

Doesn't look like MWCT is using Prim. for Day Guests this year.
