How I’d Spend $100 at the 2026 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
The 2026 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is in full swing in Disney World! This year, you can enjoy all kinds of different things at the festival, from food to entertainment to merchandise.
There is so much food to try that it’s difficult to decide what you should buy, especially if you’re on a tight budget. So, I’m here to help — I’m breaking down how I’d spend $100 at this year’s festival booths.
How I’d Spend $100 at the 2026 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
With only $100 to spend, you can still try quite a lot of items at the festival! I’m starting off with a drink — the Cucumber-Watermelon Slushy with gin at Florida Fresh in CommuniCore Plaza.
This is one of my favorite drinks at the festival. It’s refreshing and fruity, and is a reasonable price for a cocktail at EPCOT at $13.25.
Next, I’m headed over to Yacht Grub, which is located on the walkway between World Showcase and the Imagination! Pavilion. Here, I’d grab the Trio of Dips and Chips for $6.49.
This has house-made potato chips with whipped feta dip and candied lemon, caramelized onion dip and caviar, and pimento cheese and pickles. It’s a great value and it’s easy to share with another person!

Right next door to Yacht Grub is Beach Grub, where I’d grab the new Strawberry-Basil Lemonade! This is non-alcoholic and is Minute Maid Premium Lemonade with strawberry-hibiscus syrup garnished with basil for $4.79.
It’s a great light and fresh non-alcoholic drink option!

For something a little sweet, I’d head over to The Citrus Blossom in the Odyssey Pavilion and get the Lemon Tart! This is an item on the Garden Graze and you can get it for $4.99.
It’s plant-based and has lemon curd, blood orange fluid gel, plant-based meringue, and raspberry powder.
After I have something sweet, I usually then want something savory, so I’d get the new Garden Vegetable Flatbread from Trowel & Trellis near Disney Traders. This is a flatbread with Boursin Crumbles Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese, topped with roasted vegetables and arugula salad
You can get it for $5.99!

Nearby is Pineapple Promenade, right by Port of Entry. This is where you can find the iconic Frozen Dessert Violet Lemonade!
It’s Minute Maid Premium Lemonade with desert pear and violet syrups for $5.19. This is another great non-alcoholic option, and you have to grab one since it’s a staple of this festival.
Let’s head into the World Showcase, starting over at Fleur de Lys in the France Pavilion! Here, I’m getting the Croissant au Fromage de Chèvre Herbes et Ail Rôtie.
If you don’t read French, that’s a croissant with goat cheese, herbs, and roasted garlic for $8.25! It’s simple and delicious.
Moving over to the Japan Pavilion, I’d get the new Japanese Curry Bread at Hanami. This is golden, crispy fried bread filled with a fragrant Japanese vegetable curry for $6.75.
It’s always fun to try something a little bit different at the festivals!

In the American Adventure Pavilion, you can find Magnolia Terrace. Here, I’d get a dessert — the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding!
This comes with a rum-caramel sauce for $5.19. It’s literally SO. GOOD. I highly recommend trying it.
In the Germany Pavilion is Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market, where I’m getting a festival favorite. It’s the Toasted Pretzel Bread topped with black forest ham and melted cheese for $6.19!
What could be better than pretzel bread with ham and melty cheese? Nothing.
Next, let’s go to Lan Yuan in the China Pavilion. I want another sweet item, so I’d get the new Tanghulu.
This is a skewer of strawberries and grapes coated in candied sugar syrup for $7.25! It’s very simple, but it’s also very delicious.
Finally, let’s wrap up our journey over at Jardin de Fiestas in the Mexico Pavilion. I’d grab two items here!
First is the new Chilaquiles con Carne, which are corn tortillas tossed in salsa ranchera and Monterey Jack with shaved rib-eye, poblano peppers, onions, queso fresco, and crema mexicana for $8.50.
And I’ve got to end things with another drink, duh! I’d get the new Spicy Mango Margarita, which is 100% de agave blanco tequila, reposado mezcal, tamarindo liqueur, mango purée, and lime-jalapeño juice with a chili-lime salt rim for $14.75.
So, if you get every single thing on this list, you would spend a total of $97.58. That’s a pretty great value for being able to get 13 items!
I hope this helps you visit for your next trip to the festival. Stay tuned for more Disney World news and updates!
