Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouse Holiday Walking Tour Returns to Epcot in 2025
The Behind the Seeds walking tour of Living with the Land’s Glimmering Greenhouses is returning to Epcot for the 2025 International Festival of the Holidays. This special tour allows guests to walk through the dreamy light display that’s part of a holiday overlay known as Glimmering Greenhouses. This walking tour will take place on evenings between November 28th and December 30th at 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. Reservations will be available starting October 9, 2025. Tickets range from $50.15 to $59.00 per person.
The tour lasts approximately one hour. During that time, you’ll experience the following:
- Learn about crops that bring festive flavors to many of our holiday traditions.
- Enjoy brilliant light displays.
- Explore hydroponic greenhouses and discover sustainable growing techniques used to bring the Glimmering Greenhouses to life!
Disney notes that the regular Behind the Seeds tour will still be available during the day. While the holiday overlay will be part of the day tour, you won’t get the full effects of the seasonal decorations and holiday lighting during daylight hours.
