The Best Place to Eat at EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival Might Surprise You
The 2024 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival has just begun in Disney World and we’ve been checking out everything it has to offer! Yesterday, we brought you a look at all of the Outdoor Kitchens at the festival, but there is still more food to try.
We’re heading over to a restaurant in the park that has some special menu items for the festival!
Connections Eatery
Connections Eatery is located in World Discovery across from Creations Shop. It’s also connected to the Starbucks location in the park, Connections Cafe.
There are usually a few exclusive items here for each EPCOT festival, and Flower & Garden is no different! There are actually some brand-new items on the menu.
First up, we got the new Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich for $12.49. This is a southern-fried chicken sandwich with hot honey and pickles on a brioche bun.
This was a total hit for us — we want them to add it to the regular menu!
The chicken was cooked perfectly, had a good amount of seasoning, and a nice crispy coating on the outside. And, the bun was soft and fresh.
But, the real star of the show here is the honey! It takes this chicken sandwich up to the next level.
The sweetness combined with the spice just pairs perfectly with the chicken! The crunch of the slaw and pickles also add a great contrast to the sandwich. We definitely recommend this one!
You can also get the returning Orange Bird Liege Waffle here for $4.19! This is just like the flavor of the normal Liege Waffle over here, but with an Orange Bird twist for the decorations.
We also got the new drink offering over here. This is the Blood Orange Hibiscus Margarita which has Teremana Tequila with hibiscus and blood orange syrup, and orange juice for $15.
This margarita was absolutely delicious! It has the perfect amount of alcohol in it where you can taste it but it’s not overwhelming.
The juices are very refreshing and have a great balance between sweet and tart. The flavor of all of them together is quite tasty!
Our reporter said this is actually her favorite drink she’s EVER had at Flower & Garden Festival, so yeah, we’d recommend you try it!
All of the festival items at Connections are huge wins to us, which is super exciting because now there is another location to get great food during Flower & Garden! Definitely check it out while you’re in EPCOT this spring.
Stay tuned for more Disney World news and updates!
