We have big news from Epcot today!
The 2015 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Menus are Finally Here!
With just a week to go before the opening of the 2015 Flower and Garden Festival, we have the full list of menus for the super popular Outdoor Kitchens! Mark your calendars — the Festival lasts from March 4 through May 17.
These Outdoor Kitchens, which are similar to Marketplace Booths that dominate the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, feature delicious small plates that allow you to taste fresh flavors from the garden.
We Loved This Violet Lemonade at the 2014 Flower and Garden Festival!
There are lots and lots of new things to try. A brand new Outdoor Kitchen will debut in 2015. Botanas Botánico will be located between the France and Morocco Pavilions and will feature food and drink with a Venezuelan influence.
Sadly, we’ve also confirmed that one of our favorites, Buttercup Cottage, will not return in 2015. But we’re looking forward to trying all of our other returning favorites, plus lots of new tastes!

Now, before we leave you to peruse the menus in peace, there’s one item we want to make sure you’re aware of for this year’s festival. When the Flower and Garden Festival first began offering Outdoor Kitchens a couple of years ago, the BIG news was the Pineapple Promenade, which featured Dole Whips for the first time in Epcot! But even better — the frosty treat was available with a topper of Rum!
Well…
Dole Whip + Epcot = Dreamy
This year, the tradition continues. While they’re officially calling it “Pineapple Soft Serve” as of press time, we know from the Dole company directly that it’s actually Dole Whip when all is said and done. AND — this year, rum options will include Sammy’s Beach Bar Red Head Macadamia Nut Flavored Rum and Parrot Bay Coconut Rum
Macadamia Nut Flavored Rum? Whaaaaaaa?? Yes, pls.

Oh Pineapple Dole Whip with Parrot Bay,
I’m coming for you in 13 long days.
Oh sweet fruity soft serve with de-licious rum,
From Pineapple Promenade to my tum-tum.
Miles for the poetry win.
I second that…just lovely.
Mmmmmm….. Dole whip with rum. Oh, how I wish we could go. Sadly the flower and garden festival isn’t in October. 🙁
So no Terra booth this year? I didn’t see it listed and I so desperately wanted to try it since I missed it last year. I love their watermelon juice!
Liz — You’ll find Terra at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival — or at least, that’s where it’s been over the last couple of years. Here’s hoping the popular vegan marketplace will return in 2015!
Miles — Awesome Poem! 😀
Evelynn — Last year, Dole Whip was offered with Creme de Cacao White during the Food and Wine Festival. Fingers crossed they’ll expand to rum this year. 🙂
@Brooke
Thank you for that information! Yes, fingers crossed for rum dole whips! 🙂 My 11 year old niece is looking at me weirdly because I am screaming with joy for hopes of rum dole whips! 🙂
I am heartbroken that Buttercup Cottage will not be returning this year. I loved pairing their delicious scones with a refreshing iced tea.
Can you purchase any of the beer or wine they serve to take home? I have a friend who is a beer connoisseur who would probably enjoy a few bottles to try.
Steph M — There are usually bottles of Festival beverages available for sale in Festival Center. We’ll try and get some information up about what’s available food-wise there once it’s opened. 🙂
