Round 1 of Our EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Snack Bracket is OVER! Did Your Favorites Move On?!

We’re back to talk about Disney food again! We know, surprising for us. 😂

Flower and Garden!

We’ve made our way around the world tasting all of the food and drink that is the star of the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. We brought you all of our favorites in the Best of the Fest, but we’re always curious what you have to say! So, we took to our Instagram Stories to ask the hardest questions we ask every year — what food is your favorite?! We made our readers pick from 24 different menu items and vote for their favorite! We’ve got a lot of tasty ground to cover here, so let’s get into it!

In true DFB fashion, we’re starting with the desserts and drinks. Maybe it’s because our parents never let us eat dessert before dinner, but we think this is definitely the preferred order of foods! So, we put Mango Limeade Dole Whip head to head with Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade. In true Dole Whip nature, the Mango Limeade Dole Whip took the lead with 54% of votes. And we’re not shocked the other DFB favorite, Violet Lemonade, was closed behind!

Kicking off with dessert!

Now onto the Maple Popcorn Shake versus Cookie Butter Worms & Dirt! These two non-alcoholic sips are pretty sweet, but you all have a clear favorite. Cookie Butter Worms & Dirt cook the lead with 83% of votes! That is the highest margin win of ALL the food we asked you about!

Fancy drink check!

What about the Froot Loops Shake versus the Tropical Mousse Cup? Nostalgia won out on this one and Froot Loops took the win at 56%! No matter how many times we look at this sugary drink, we’re always brought back to sitting at the kitchen table as a kid with a big ‘ole bowl of sugar!

These two make our kid hearts happy

We’re REALLY glad that we didn’t have to answer this next one! We had our readers choose between Fruishi and the Popsicle Trio. This would probably be a close one for us, but shockingly, the Popsicle Trio established a strong lead with 63% of votes!

THIS was surprising!

Alright, now for the Beignet Caramélisé versus the Key Lime Tart. And, the big bun of fried dough took the “W” on this one with 59% of our readers preferring it over the tart! You know how we feel about beignets so we are giving this winner the stamp of approval.

How would you choose?

The next one was a close one! The Griddled Maple Pound Cake won over Pecan Cake with Maple Whipped Cream by just 4%!

Yep, we’re still going

Then, we asked you a hard-hitting question and put two items featuring fried dough head to head. We know, how cruel of us. In the duel between Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites and the Mini Funnel Cake, the cinnamon roll bites won with 58% of votes! We were swooning over BOTH of these so we’re glad that you won’t be forcing us to choose!

Interesting choice here

Now that we have dessert over with, there’s still room for more, right? We put Shrimp & Grits up against Shakshuka and the southern classic won over with 66% of people preferring the dish.

There’s a clear winner

When forced to decide between Crawfish Étouffée and Impossible Sausage & Kale Soup, the Crawfish Étouffée won out by a close margin! We’re not sure if it was the kale that was keeping this one from taking the throne, but we still suggest giving it a try if you’re not a fan of the greens!

Sorry you couldn’t pick both

What about the choice between Sugar Cane Shrimp and Poached Lobster? Well, the answer to this one was a bit clearer, and Poached Lobster came in the lead with 61% of votes!

We’re getting hungry now

Then, we asked readers to choose between Shrimp and Crab Cucumber Slices and Crab and Cheese Wontons and WOW, you all know what you like! The Crab and Cheese Wontons won with a landslide!

Okay, headed back to EPCOT ASAP

And, we need to end on a sweet note, right? Back into a little serving of dessert, we had readers vote between Honey Mascarpone Cheesecake and Citrus Shortcake and there was no question who won out! The Citrus Shortcake won with a landslide of 65% of votes.

Yummmmm

So, with round one out of the way, the voting only gets easier from here, right? 😬 Round 2 will be coming soon so keep an eye on our Instagram Stories so you can have a say in the snack we crown the ultimate winner!
