food IS a theme park
Happy Friday y’all! We’re taking a trip to Disney Springs to start our weekend off on the right foot!
Wonderful World of Memories
Our first stop today was the Wonderful World of Memories store on the Marketplace side of Disney Springs, and you won’t believe what we just found!
Disney World’s EPCOT will reopen to guests again starting July 15th, along with Disney’s Hollywood Studios. (Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom reopened over the weekend).
Epcot Entrance
Wednesday is a big day for guests at EPCOT for another reason, too… it is also the day that the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival kicks off! And even though the Festival will run well into the fall, guests at the Festival will also experience aspects of the park’s SPRING event, the Flower & Garden Festival!
When Epcot officially reopens on July 15th, there’s going to be a brand new hybrid food festival, the Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.
Epcot
We’ve FINALLY gotten menus for the 20 signature marketplaces that will be spaced out around the theme park, but we know that no festival is complete without merchandise!
There’s a literary expression that goes a bit like, “the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”
Magic Kingdom
Somehow, that phrase seems totally prophetic when you think about how many “big plans” Disney had in the works right before everything got really, REALLY weird.
Hi, All!

Here at DFB our thoughts are with all who have been affected. While the parks are closed, we will continue reporting and writing articles our readers will need and use once the parks reopen. Thank you for your support.
Good morning, everybody! Before you get on with your busy day, how about taking a quick breather?
Epcot’s 2020 Flower and Garden Festival
Since we sadly can’t explore the festival with the parks being closed, we thought we’d stop and smell the roses (virtually, of course!) and join us on a quick stroll around Epcot’s 2020 Flower and Garden Festival!
We’re here at Epcot devouring ALL OF THE THINGS during the 2020 Flower and Garden Festival!

But you know us — having eaten a path around the 16 outdoor kitchens scattered throughout the World Showcase, we’re seeking true foodie nirvana with some of our very own DFB food hacks!
We’ve been busy little bees buzzing around Epcot’s 2020 Flower and Garden Festival!
Hi Pluto
We’ve been loving our new Spike the Bee Sippers and sporting our new festival merchandise as we munch our way around the World Showcase’s outdoor kitchens, but now it’s time to check out some of the other stuff this year’s Flower and Garden Fest has to offer!
While Epcot’s 2020 Flower and Garden Festival officially kicked off yesterday, three of the outdoor kitchens didn’t quite get the memo!

And while The Honey-Beestro and Flordia Fresh were able to open on time today, it appears the other festival food booth is going to be a little late to the party!
Greetings from the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival! While touring around the booths, we stopped by Refreshment Outpost to see what festival offerings we could try.
Refreshment Outpost Booth
We love seeing the Refreshment Outpost getting in on the Flower and Garden Festival action this year, and if you’re a cider fan, you’ll really appreciate what they have to offer!
Bonjour, mes amis from the Flower and Garden Festival! Festival after festival, the France Pavilion is usually the chateau to some stand-out food and beverage items!
Fleur de Lys
Fleur de Lys is our next stop at this year’s Flower and Garden Festival! We even see a few new items on the menu, as well as some of our favorite French-inspired eats, returning!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
