Starting Today, EPCOT Will Be Very Different

By 2 Comments

We live for an EPCOT festival.

EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival

The seasonal festivals in EPCOT bring scavenger hunts, art, gardens, and of course FOOD. Trying all the food and drinks at every booth is one of our favorite Disney World activities. However, since these are seasonal festivals, they’re only around for a limited time. There are four festivals that you can take part in throughout the year — Festival of the Arts, Flower and Garden Festival, Food and Wine Festival, and Festival of the Holidays. Currently, the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is ongoing, but that will be changing VERY soon.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

It seems like SO much has already happened in Disney World this year, but we’re ready for what summer will bring. We’re talking about the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the reopening of Country Bear Jamboree.

But if you’re visiting Disney World in May, we have to warn you not to make a vital mistake.

Disney Drastically SHORTENED the Flower and Garden Festival, and We Think We Know Why

By 1 Comment

You may be familiar with the various festivals that EPCOT puts on throughout the year.

EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival

These festivals include the Festival of the Holidays, Festival of the Arts, Food & Wine Festival, and the Flower & Garden Festival. So far this year, in 2024, we got to experience the Festival of the Arts from January 12th through February 19th, 2024, and shortly after the Flower & Garden festival began. The Flower & Garden Festival is currently underway and running until May 27th. However, the run time of this spring festival is considerably shorter than it was in 2023, and we have a sneaking suspicion that we might know why.

We won’t lie — we like to play with Disney food.

Yes, it’s TOTALLY okay to play with your food in Disney World. That’s because sometimes, if you combine certain foods, you can create an even BETTER food.

By 2 Comments

With each of the EPCOT festivals comes exclusive, limited-time souvenirs that just seem to get cuter and cuter with each passing year. (Oh, and more popular.)

2024 Flower and Garden Festival

EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival began on February 28th, and it brought LOTS of cute souvenirs. However, there was one in particular that seemed to be the star of the show! In January, Disney Lug bags started popping up in the parks. The Skeeter Lug bags are especially popular — they’re compact crossbody bags that look like Disney characters. An Orange Bird one was released for the Flower and Garden Festival, and believe us when we say that they are POPULAR.
