food IS a theme park
We know, we know. It’s only January, and the iconic Festival of the Arts JUST started at EPCOT.
EPCOT
That doesn’t mean we can’t look forward to spring, though! EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival is one of our favorite festivals of the year. This year, the Flower and Garden festival will grace EPCOT with fresh new eats and beautiful topiaries from February 28th through May 27th. Disney shared some NEW details on this year’s festival, and we think you’re gonna LOVE them.
It seems like EPCOT has a festival for every type of Disney fan.
EPCOT
There’s the classic EPCOT Food and Wine Festival in the Fall, the International Festival of the Holidays in the winter, the International Festival of the Arts at the beginning of the year, and the current festival — International Flower and Garden Festival. We’ve already talked about how Disney is raising ticket prices in 2023, and have seen things like Genie+ reach record highs — but have rising prices affected the cost of our beloved EPCOT festivals? Let’s take a look at what we know.
We cannot start our day without a hot beverage, whether it’s tea, coffee, or even hot chocolate. If you looked inside our cabinets, you’d see our never-ending collection of Disney mugs (you can never have too many)!
So many mugs!
It seems like shopDisney has given us even more reason to start our day with some Disney magic, no matter where we are!
Happy First Day of Spring! Okay, we know it’s not technically spring yet, but EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival started today — and that means it’s officially Spring at Disney World.
Flower & Garden Festival
Of course, one of the BEST parts about Flower and Garden is the AMAZING food that you can grab from each of the booths — springtime cuisine inspired by all the wonderful cultures represented in World Showcase. However, we stumbled upon something you might wanna grab… it isn’t food — but it’s a souvenir you can only grab from a food booth!
Ever wondered about the process that goes into producing your favorite cuppa tea?
The UK Pavilion in EPCOT is your one-stop-shop for tea!
In the past, guests have been able to take tours of the English Tea Garden in the UK Pavilion in EPCOT — learning about how tea is grown, manufactured, and eventually brought into our own kettles. We received confirmation from an EPCOT Cast Member that the English Tea Garden Tours will RETURN for the 2023 Flower and Garden Festival!Â
Part of the fun of EPCOT’s festivals is trying out all the seasonal food and drinks!
Potato Pancake and Beer Flight
For some of us though, finding food and drink that we can eat and enjoy can be difficult. If you’re part of the gluten-free gang at Disney, you’re not alone! We hunt for gluten-free snacks for you guys so that you never have to go hungry or miss out on the magical food at Disney World.
Lots of things are changing in Disney World!
There’s Even New Food at Some Classic Restaurants
Some things have returned to “normal” (like the return of self-serve drink stations in some locations), an After Hours Halloween event has been announced for this year, and temperature checks are set to be phased out. When it comes to food, some things are changing there too! Recently, 3 Disney World restaurants debuted new/revamped menus and other spots have slightly modified offerings. What places have new items for you to try? We’re breaking it down for you today!
The Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is officially underway in Disney World. And while there’s great merchandise, amazing topiaries, and fun entertainment, there’s also…INCREDIBLE FOOD!
EPCOT
We’ve shared tons of reviews of the food being offered at the festival booths, and we’ve even brought you our list of the BEST of the Fest. But, we were still left wondering, what food or drink is your FAVORITE from this year’s Festival? We’re talking that #1 spot, absolutely must-get drink or food. So, we asked you on Instagram and now we have an answer!!
The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially begun once again in Disney World.
EPCOT
For the past several years, EPCOT has generally been celebrating 4 different festivals throughout the year — Flower & Garden in the Spring, the International Food & Wine Festival in the Fall, the International Festival of the Holidays in the winter, and the International Festival of the Arts right at the beginning of the new year. And with news about ticket prices in 2022 and other things, we started wondering — are the EPCOT festivals getting more expensive? We did some digging, and here’s what we found.
