When we found out there is a new challenge coming to the 2020 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, we got VERY EXCITED!
Beauty and the Beast Topiary
Similar to Epcot’s Festival of the Holiday’s Cookie Stroll, a new foodie quest will debut this year at Epcot when the Flower and Garden Festival kicks off on Wednesday, March 4th, annnnd it’s called the Garden Graze!
First things first, here’s how Garden Graze works! Your mission — should you choose to eat it! — will be to grab a total of FIVE items from the food booths scattered throughout the 2020 Flower and Garden Festival! Make sure you snag a Passport before you embark on this journey!

Did you happen to pick up on the theme? All of these festival offerings are plant-based, meaning EVERYBODY can join in the fun! But wait! We talked about a PRIZE! And once you’ve finished your Garden Graze, you’ll be entitled to a custom Flower and Garden Dole Whip creation at Pineapple Promenade! This exclusive concoction will consist of mango limeade Dole Whip, served in a special souvenir glass that doubles as a terrarium! Plus, it comes with a packet of seeds so you can start growing right away — well, after you finish your completer Dole Whip drink, that is!

Disclosure: In nearly all circumstances, Disney Food Blog writers and photographers pay full price for their own travel, hotel, food, beverage, and event tickets. We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of Epcot’s 2020 International Flower and Garden Festival. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.

Will there be an optional item if you are allergic to something on the list? I am highly allergic to apples but want to do this!
Do the booths at festival take Dining plan for snacks or counter? Is it all cash at the booths?
Ronnie, you can use DDP Snack Credits at food booths at Epcot festivals, and you can also apply a Quick Service meal credit for three booth items as long as they’re all three used at one booth in one transaction. (Alcoholic beverages are not DDP eligible.)
