food IS a theme park
It’s springtime in Disney World, which means a lot of things, but mostly you can bet that the parks look beautiful right now.
Springtime at EPCOT!
This is especially true at EPCOT, which is currently hosting the International Flower and Garden Festival!
We’ve spent a lot of time at this year’s EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival checking out all the amazing food!
It’s Spike the Bee!
But we also took time to check out some of the entertainment AND fun activities, including Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration, which is a scavenger hunt that takes you all over EPCOT.

So many flowers for Spike to hide in!
We decided to take a break from all the food and drink tasting to check out a returning activity this year — Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration! Who’s ready for a scavenger hunt?!
Earlier, Disney announced it planned on offering a hybrid festival experience for guests when EPCOT reopened ion July 15th. We’re at the park today attending a Cast Member preview and we actually got to experience a Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival TODAY!
Food and Wine
Incorporating elements from both Food and Wine (which normally doesn’t kick off until the fall) as well as Flower and Garden (since this year’s springtime festival was cut short), we already expected a Taste of Epcot to be a pretty unique offering! We’ve spotted a few Flower and Garden topiaries this afternoon, and you’ll never BEE-lieve who else we just ran into!
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.

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!
This has truly been a bizarre week not only for Disney guests, but for families all across the country.
Cinderella Castle
While Disney World prepares for an unprecedented closure due to the Coronavirus, we’ve been doing our best to answer all of your questions during a time where things are changing by the minute. While we have already answered several of your questions about how this closure could affect your travel plans, we’ve also received some important questions that you may have not thought about!
“SUGAR! Ooooh, honey, honey!” We’re positively BUZZING to try all of the eats and sips available at this year’s Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival! We’ve had eats inspired by every type of garden, and now we’re chowing down on some particularly BEE-lightful eats!
Honey Bee-stro Booth
That’s because we’re skipping over to The Honey Bee-stro Hosted by National Honey Board™ where nature’s sweetener has given us a pretty exciting menu. Of course, we’ve already seen the Spike the Bee Sipper and what comes inside, but we’re pumped to give this booth a FULL visit!
If you are planning to visit the Outdoor Kitchen Food Booths at the 2020 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival (just like we’re doing TODAY to kick off the Fest!), then you may want to pick up a little something to help you scoop up all those Festival snacks!
Pineapple Promenade Outdoor Kitchen Food Booth
Well, we’ve got just the thing for you, as the Spike the Bee Reusable SPORK has officially arrived on the Flower and Garden scene!! [Read more…]
We’re pretty bloomin’ excited for the 2020 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival from March 4th to June 1st. We’ve been checking out everything you can expect at the fest, from the Garden Rocks lineup to the Outdoor Kitchen menus.

Plus, you KNOW we’ve been counting the seconds until we got a first look at the merch in person! Of course, we’ve already gotten a preview of what we can expect but now we’re seeing it ALL! Spoiler alert: There’s a lot of Spike the Bee and Orange Bird — and we LOVE IT!
We can’t wait for the 2020 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival to begin on March 4th.
