Foodie Guide to Flower & Garden Festival 2024

 

Flavor is about to be in full bloom because the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is nearly here! From Feb. 28 through May 27, 2024, EPCOT will be transformed into a flower-filled adventure budding with delicious bites, masterfully-crafted topiaries, can’t-miss entertainment, and exclusive merchandise your guests won’t want to miss.

This year there are nearly 20 Outdoor Kitchens and over 60 new items to indulge in! That’s a lot of new flavors buzzing around. Within all these new menu items, guests should ‘bee’ sure to try delights for the first time like the Cubanito at Florida Fresh and Peach Galette at EPCOT Farmers Feast. But don’t worry, there are plenty of returning favorites, including none other than the beloved Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade at Pineapple Promenade and the Chicken and Waffles at The Honey Bee-stro Hosted by National Honey Board.

Once the Festival kicks off, guests should be sure to pick up a Festival Passport and join in on the tasty foodie fun with the return of Garden Graze. To join in on this food stroll, which features 8 tasty bites from the Outdoor Kitchens, guests can simply get a stamp on their passport after they purchase and once they collect five, they can receive their exclusive treat from the Pineapple Promenade.

And for a convenient way to pay as they go, guests can try these specially designed mini festival-themed Disney Gift Cards. Guests can simply load it and wear it on their wrist for quick and easy scanning when they purchase all their festival favorites.

It’s time to get a first look at the 2024 menus for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival!
