food IS a theme park
It’s almost here! We’re talking about the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival!
Let The Fun Begin!
We’ve already seen a list of some of the food booths set up for the festival, and we just got the full menus for all the booths, as well as learned about everything returning for this year’s event. One of those returning activities is the Garden Graze scavenger hunt, and now we know what foods will be part of it!
The 2023 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival begins soon, bringing tons of eats and treats (including a bunch of NEW items) to Disney World. It turns out, you can’t visit this festival just one time!
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival 2022
We’ve already got the FULL MENUS for the food booths at this festival, and we’ve seen a sneak peek at the merchandise as well. In fact, the food booths and character topiaries are already popping up throughout EPCOT. But there’s one BIG reason why you’ll need to visit this EPCOT festival not once, not twice, but THREE times.

If you haven’t been to EPCOT in a while, then you might be surprised by some of the big changes in the park!
EPCOT
In the past few years, EPCOT has added two new rides, multiple new restaurants, a new gift shop, and a reimagined Club Cool. But there’s so much more to come! The middle of the park is currently under construction as they add more new attractions and offerings, and we’re sharing an updated look at the construction progress.
Calling all lovers of Orange Bird, springtime, and all things Flower and Garden!
We love Flower and Garden!
Disney just dropped NEW info on all that we can expect from EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival in 2023, and we were NOT disappointed. Of course, the food and drink options are super exciting, but we’re excited about the merchandise options, too!
It’s an exciting time, DFB friends!
2022 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival is returning to the park from March 1st through July 5th. We’ve already shared a look at everything we know is returning for this year’s festival, and a peek at some of the booths confirmed for the festival, but we have been waiting on the official menus to be released for all the 15+ outdoor food kitchens, and now they’re here!
BIG NEWS for those of you hoping to participate in Hot Cookie Hour at Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs this month!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
You may be wondering: What’s Hot Cookie Hour? Well, Hot Cookie Hour happens twice a day at Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs, once from 2 to 3PM and once from 7 to 8PM. During this time, you can grab a fresh, HOT cookie with vanilla ice cream. It. Is. Delicious! Usually, you can only get a plain chocolate chip cookie as part of this experience, but during the rest of February, you can grab a special one!
Walt Disney World Annual Passholders are in for a bunch of new surprises!
2023 Annual Passholder Magnet
While the biggest change Disney announced was that Annual Passholders will be able to visit the Walt Disney World theme parks after 2PM WITHOUT a Park Pass reservation, there are a few other NEW perks Annual Passholders can look forward to.
Big things are happening in Disney World lately!
Our happy place!
After Hours events are coming to EPCOT, progress is full-steam ahead on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and tons of fun merchandise is popping up around the parks for the 100th anniversary celebration. Well, Disney shared some news this morning, and things are about to get even more exciting very soon!
Buckle up friends — Park Pass changes are coming soon to Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
Disney previously announced that an important Park Pass change would be made for Disney World Annual Passholders that would provide them with more flexibility when entering the parks. But, at that time Disney only shared that the change would be made within the next few months. Now, we’ve got an official start date!
“Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba Sithi uhm ingonyama.” Yep, we’re singing that iconic Zulu introduction to “Circle of Life” because that song reminds us of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. (Also, yes, we googled how to spell the lyrics.)
The Tree of Life
We can’t help it — it’s the song that comes to mind every time we look up at the gorgeous Tree of Life. We’ll also admit to hearing it often because we LOVE Festival of the Lion King. Animal Kingdom just has something the other Disney World parks don’t — it’s got a relaxed vibe, LOADS of animals, cheeseburger pods, and lots of trees (and that means shade, which other parks are sorely lacking). So let’s head on over to this chill park and see what’s new!
