2021 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

The 2021 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival looks different than in years past but it is still one of the most beautiful times to visit Epcot and has many fun treats in store. First up, you have the stunning topiaries and gardens dotted throughout the entire park.  These are what really sets the tone for this festival. If you're lucky, you might even spot a character or two hanging out in the gardens.  I spotted both Alice and Mary Poppins at different times in the English Tea Garden!  Tinkerbell is tucked away in the back of the UK Pavilion Mickey makes a second appearance by World Showplace Next you have the Outdoor Kitchens and lots of yummy food and beverage choices around World Showcase and even popping down into Future World a bit.

Canada's Northern Bloom is a great stop for those meat and potatoes lovers in your travel party.  We tried quite a few things here but the pavilion itself is known for the tucked away, Le Cellier Steakhouse, so their beef treats never di...

Agent Maci here to bring you some details on my favorite time of year at Epcot, the International Flower and Garden Festival! Today's post is going to focus on one part of the festival: The food and beverage offerings! Over the last few years, this festival has really stepped up it's food and drink game offering new booths each year that feature seasonal, fresh and garden-related or regional items.  To help navigate, this blog post will focus on the booths that are more garden-focused (not tied to the countries of World Showcase). The booths that would fall into this category include Arbor at the Gardener's Terrace, Flavor Full Kitchen Hosted by AdventHealth, The Citrus Blossom, The Honey Bee-stro Hosted by National Honey Board, Trowel & Trellis Hosted by IMPOSSIBLE Foods, Pineapple Promenade, Florida Fresh, and Taste Track.  First up is the Arbor at the Gardener's Terrace .  This place is really a hidden gem because it's inside the Odyssey Pavilion wit...
