Taste Your Way Around The Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Now Open!
Its time for awesome eats, amazing floral displays, incredible hands-on workshops and more! That’s right as of TODAY the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is officially ON at EPCOT. This Spring fest will run through June 1, 2020.
To put you in the mood for all of the fun that awaits here are some culinary highlights you won’t want to miss.
You’ll want to be on the looking for Festival favorites like frozen desert violet lemonade slushy from Pineapple Promenade, the grilled street corn from Trowel & Trellis and the ADORABLE Orange Bird novelty sipper filled with an orange cream shake at The Citrus Blossom.
A few of these new offerings include a brand-new Outdoor Kitchen, another cute sipper featuring Spike the Bee at the Honey Bee-Stro Outdoor Kitchen, and a Spike the Bee reusable souvenir spork available at various Outdoor Kitchens throughout the park while supplies last.
You’ll definitely want to check out Magnolia Terrace Outdoor Kitchen located at The American Adventure. Here you’ll find an awesome array of tasty seafood dishes, house-made boudin and southern-style desserts. A highlight for us is the Southern Seafood Boil which features shrimp, mussels, crawfish, potatoes, corn and andouille sausage. Or you may want to opt for grilled oysters served with Cajun butter. Also, you’ll want to save room for dessert with options like the traditional pecan praline or a pecan cake topped with maple whipped cream.
Other favorites from this year’s menus are the new lamb curry dish with sweet plantains and rice from La Isla Fresca, seared scallops from Northern Bloom, and the gluten-friendly roasted cauliflower from the Honey Bee-Stro.
There is also a great selection of plant-based options this year and the best way to try them is by participating in the Garden Graze Food Stroll!
For this fun activity, all you have to do is purchase five designated items from the Outdoor Kitchens and make sure to get your Festival Passport stamped when you make your purchase to keep track along the way. Once you’ve completed the stroll, visit Pineapple Promenade to redeem your complimentary treats: a seed packet and a special plant-based Dole Whip dessert served in a souvenir vessel! The five plant-based items you’ll need to purchase to complete the stroll are:
- Grilled Baby Vegetables – Flavor Full Kitchen Hosted by AdventHealth (Located at Future World West)
- Impossible Farmhouse Meatball – Trowel & Trellis Hosted by Impossible Foods (Located at the front of World Showcase)
- Pineapple Skewer – Refreshment Outpost (Located at the African Outpost)
- Potato Pancakes with House-Made Applesauce – Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market (Located at the Germany pavilion)
- Watermelon Cucumber Slushy – Florida Fresh (Located between the France and Morocco pavilions)
