Glimmering Greenhouses Runs Into January 2027

According to a report, Disney’s My Disney Experience app now shows Glimmering Greenhouses at EPCOT running through Wednesday, January 6, 2027. As of Saturday, November 14, Disney has not confirmed the extension in a public announcement.

The reported change affects Living with the Land in The Land Pavilion. The holiday overlay was previously listed with the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays dates, which would have ended its run on December 30, 2026.

Under the reported app schedule, Glimmering Greenhouses now continues for one additional week after the festival ends. The standard version of Living with the Land is now reportedly set to return Thursday, January 7, 2027, with a 10:00 AM opening.

The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is still scheduled for November 27 through December 30, 2026. That means the reported extension would leave the holiday version of Living with the Land operating after the festival itself has wrapped.

What we know

• Glimmering Greenhouses — reportedly now runs through Wednesday, January 6, 2027, in My Disney Experience.
• Living with the Land — the standard version is reportedly pushed back and returns Thursday, January 7, 2027, at 10:00 AM.
• EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays — still scheduled for November 27 through December 30, 2026.
• The Land Pavilion — the reported change applies to the Living with the Land holiday overlay inside EPCOT.
• Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses — Disney has not announced a similar extension for the separate walking tour.

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not publicly announced the Glimmering Greenhouses extension. The report says the My Disney Experience app shows the later January 6 end date, while Disney’s website text still showed the original December 30 end date when the change was first spotted.

Disney also has not confirmed whether Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses will extend with the ride overlay. Treat the walking tour as separate from the boat ride unless Disney updates its schedule.

What it means for your trip

• If you want the holiday version, target EPCOT by Wednesday, January 6, 2027, based on the reported app schedule.
• If you want the classic, non-holiday Living with the Land experience, plan for Thursday, January 7, 2027, or later.
• January 1–6 EPCOT visitors may get a quieter bonus: the festival booths are scheduled to be gone, but the reported overlay extension would keep one holiday piece alive inside The Land Pavilion.
• Don’t build a plan around the Behind the Seeds holiday tour extending; Disney has not said that it will.
• Living with the Land is usually the kind of EPCOT ride you fit into a Land Pavilion cluster with Soarin’ and Sunshine Seasons, not something worth crisscrossing the park for on its own.
