food IS a theme park
You know we love a good EPCOT Festival!
EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
Fortunately for us, festivals happen almost year-round now at Disney World! But, we’re still sad when it’s time to say goodbye to the latest one.
While there are many things to love about EPCOT and all of the park’s festivals, one of the BEST aspects of these months-long events is the opportunity to learn something new about each of the different cultures represented in the 11 World Showcase pavilions.
Japan Pavilion
Throughout the International Flower and Garden Festival, the countries showcased at EPCOT receive a little extra TLC when it comes to landscaping and the small gardens you’ll see throughout each pavilion. After all, it’s called the Flower and Garden Festival for a reason! Well, we learned something new about a garden that’s on display in the Japan Pavilion, and it draws inspiration from a couple other Disney World icons. This might seem like SUPER random information to know, but if you care as much about it as we do, we totally need to be friends. Ready to check it out? Let’s go!
Disney World is all about celebrating SOMETHING.
Spike the Bee Sipper
Although Disney World’s big 50th anniversary celebration is over (and that one lasted 18 months!), we’re now celebrating the Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary. We also recently celebrated Animal Kingdom’s 25th anniversary, but today, EPCOT is celebrating a random holiday.
EPCOT has some incredible snacks, but you might just be missing out on some seriously incredible treats.
Farmer’s Feast Booth 2023
Right now, the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is going on and it features tons of food booths with all kinds of great eats. We’ve shared our FAVORITE picks here, but one thing you might not realize is that one of the booths — EPCOT Farmers Feast — does NOT serve the same menu throughout the festival. Though it began with one menu, it has now shifted to its Springtime offerings. If you walk past this booth thinking it’s still serving the same eats from before, you’ll be making a HUGE mistake.
Just when you think you know everything about Disney World, something changes!
Let’s head on over to Toy Story Land
Disney parks are constantly changing and evolving to add new attractions or restaurants like TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom and Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. So what changes are coming to Disney World in April 2023? There is a LOT going on, so let’s dig into it!
There are some great travel times coming up at Disney World, Disneyland, and beyond! The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is in full bloom, the 50th anniversary celebration is still going strong for a bit longer, and springtime just around the corner!
This means today is the perfect time to plan your next trip — and we have details on some great DEALS and DISCOUNTS!

After the whirlwind of trying out all of the Flower and Garden eats, we’re back in EPCOT for round two!
