One week from today, March 4, 2020, will deliver the kickoff of the 2020 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, and we’re bursting (or perhaps I should say “blooming”) with all sorts of news today for this annual spring event in Walt Disney World!
Epcot prepares for the Flower and Garden Festival
The park is busily preparing all the sure signs of Spring throughout Epcot. So we thought we’d take you on a quick jaunt to see some of the Outdoor Kitchen food booths and Disney character-themed topiaries popping up around the park in advance of the Festival!
First up? A few of the Outdoor Kitchen Food Booths, which will bring new dishes and returning favorites to Festival guests!
Outdoor Kitchens
Bright and welcoming, The Citrus Blossom will deliver dishes enhanced with lemon, orange, and mango.

And, don’t forget, this booth will once again serve up a special souvenir: the Orange Bird Sipper!

Pineapple Promenade will serve up two Festival favorites (the Spicy Hot Dog and Dole Whip variations) along with Mixed Berry Buttermilk Cake (which has moved to the Promenade from last year’s Arbor at the Gardeners Terrace).

“Voila! You’ve got a FIGMENT” ready to greet guests near the Journey Into Imagination With Figment!

Oh, wait! That’s for an April Shower, as our friends from Bambi know all too well!

Finally, moving back towards Future World, the lovely flower murals (including not-so-Hidden Mickeys) are one of the visual hallmarks of the Flower and Garden Festival.
