food IS a theme park
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!
The 2023 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is nearly here and Disney is getting READY!
Flower and Garden Festival Decor!
The 2023 Festival will run from March 1st through July 5th, 2023. We’ve already seen details on the Garden Rocks Concert series performers and dining packages, festival topiaries pop up in the park, and more details about the experience shared. But now we’ve got HUGE news.
We’ve officially reached the time of year when we’re just yearning for spring!
Almost to Spring!
One of the best parts of spring at Disney is EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival, where gorgeous florals and greenery decorate the park and inspire cuisine throughout World Showcase. The Flower and Garden Festival begins on March 1st this year, and we just saw the first signs of the festival (and spring!) at EPCOT!
Are you ready to upgrade your EPCOT festival experience?
2023 Flower & Garden Festival is right around the corner
The 2023 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is on its way and if you’re planning on enjoying the festivities, we have a few tricks up our sleeves we want to share with you!
One of our favorite things to do at EPCOT is to eat, and chances are if you’re reading this it’s probably your favorite thing to do as well!
EPCOT
One of the best times to visit this park is during one of their seasonal festivals, when booths pop up around World Showcase offering a variety of interesting small plates featuring cuisines from around the world!
Disney World has a TON of popular merchandise, from Minnie ears to Spirit Jerseys to Loungefly backpacks.

But, what about the more unique, smaller items that you can get in the parks? Little mini trashcans, fun candles, small statues — there are some super cool things you can find in those merch stores and at other locations around the parks! And, we just saw a new item that is sure to make classic Disney World fans happy, and it won’t even break the bank!
If you’re a Disney World fan, you probably know about the wonders that are EPCOT Festivals. There is a festival running in EPCOT almost every day of the year at this point!
EPCOT sunsets are EXTRA beautiful!
The year starts with EPCOT Festival of the Arts, then EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, then EPCOT Food and Wine Festival (the BIG one), and ends with EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. No matter the fest, there are a lot of food and drinks to try and that can get EXPENSIVE — so, how should YOU budget?
We’ve tried a LOT of food over at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival, but we’re not done yet!
Springtime Menu Spread
One booth — Farmers Feast — actually has a rotating seasonal menu again this year. We already tried out the Early Bloom Menu, but now, it’s time to taste the NEW menu over here, so let’s check it out!
This year’s Flower and Garden Festival bracket forced our readers to make some tough choices. We asked our readers on Instagram to VOTE on their favorite festival eats. The bracket started with 64 of the most popular food and drink items from this year’s festival and, over the past several days have been whittling them down until only one remained.

And now, without further ado, let’s get on with the winner of this year’s competition.
If you like dressing up and looking snazzy for your day in the Disney Parks, then you may be very familiar with Dapper Day! Dapper Day was initiated back in 2011 and is organized by a group that, according to their website, “celebrates fun, refined style from yesterday and today.” You may know them for those Dapper Day meet-ups they hold in Disney World and Disneyland every fall and spring.

And, if you’ve ever wanted to participate yourself but haven’t been able to find the right vintage-looking items to your own wardrobe, NOW is your chance! Dapper Day sells its own line of products on their website, but soon you can also shop their designs in person at Disney World! Here are the details.
