We can’t wait for the 2020 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival to begin on March 4th.
Epcot
Today we’re bringing you along for a sneak peek at the food that will be featured at this year’s Flower and Garden Festival!
We have our maps ready, we’ve checked over all the menus, so that means we’re ready to chow down on all the tasty snacks this year’s festival has to offer. Last year we swooned over the Orange Bird Sipper filled with an orange cream slushy and we are thrilled to see it making another appearance at The Citrus Blossom this year.
Orange Bird Sipper
But this year’s Flower and Garden Festival is SO grand, it’s big enough for TWO adorable sippers, which is why the Spike the Bee Sipper has already R.S.V.P.ed to the garden party! Plus, you’ll have the option of purchasing a fabulous new Spike the Bee Spork to reduce the need for single-use plastics!

Honey Bee-stro
We were lucky enough to sample the Honey-Peach Freeze that comes with the Spike the Bee Sipper. Talk about the nectar of THE GODS! 😉 This drink is absolutely delicious! We expect some long lines at Honey Bee-stro for this tasty gem!

Magnolia Terrace
But our Spike and our Orange Bird friends might have some competition this year, because there’s a brand NEW booth on the block: Magnolia Terrace!
Now that Regal Eagle Smokehouse has finally opened, this newcomer is serving up a whole new-style of American eats — like this STUN-NING Southern Seafood Boil! This dish features a cornucopia of Shrimp, Mussels, Crawfish, Potatoes, Corn and Andouille Sausage!

If you’re looking for a little more spice, you can try the Grilled Oysters with Cajun Butter!

But hands-down, the clear winner for us was the House-made Boudin Two Ways with Spicy Mustard! It was our absolute favorite dish at Magnolia Terrace!

For a sweet finish to all that spice, the booth will serve up pecans two ways! You can try the Pecan Cake with Maple Whipped Cream featuring Burton’s Maple Syrup or THIS fabulous Pecan Praline! We thought this was the perfect bite — err, bites rather. We tried to fit the whole thing in our mouths but it didn’t fit!

Magnolia Terrace is sourcing its beers from numerous breweries across the southeastern part of the United States.
Magnolia Terrace Beer Selection
There’s Wild Heaven Beer Session’s Citrus Lager from Avondale Estates, Georgia, The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery’s Amber Ale from Farmville, North Carolina, and Parish Brewing Co.’s Ghost in the Machine Double IPA, from Broussard, Louisianna. If you can’t make up your mind, you can always get all three as a Southern Beer Flight!

Flavor Full Kitchen Hosted by Advent Health
We also got to try Flavor Full Kitchen’s new Grilled Baby Vegetables with Hummus Cream and Red Pepper Coulis! We were big fans of their Roasted Beets and Mickey Tart Peanut Butter Mousse with Strawberry Jam in 2019 that aren’t returning this year, so we knew this dish had some big shoes to fill!

Luckily the flavors didn’t let us down!
Plus, we found out this healthy offering is part of Garden Graze, a new plant-based stroll throughout the Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival booths! By purchasing five specific dishes you’ll find scattered around the World Showcase, you’ll receive a special reward!

I wonder if I can have my mail forwarded to the Magnolia House booth, cause I’m gonna be spending a lot of time there LOL. I am super excited for the Seafood Boil and Boudin. I used to live in southeastern Georgia and seafood boils were so good. One of the local restaurants there was featured on DIners Drive Ins and Dives, and one of the things Guy loved were their Boudin Balls
