Epcot festival fans won’t have too long to wait for the next event — the Epcot International Flower and Garden festival starts on March 1 and lasts until May 29.
This annual celebration of spring shows off more than 70 Disney-themed topiaries as well as gardens, wildlife habitats and more. As with all Epcot festivals, food is a big part of the fun as well. I got a chance to learn about a new activity and some new dishes at a recent event.
The Royal Tea Garden Tour
Tea lovers will be taken on a tour of Epcot’s tea garden, enjoy their own cup along with some scones and learn about tea through this new activity. The seminar takes place at 9:30 a.m. daily during the Flower and Garden Festival. Tickets cost $15 per person.
Northern Bloom
All things Canada are featured at this new booth. New dishes at this market include beef ternderloin tips and nanaimo bars.
The Berry Basket
Similar to the tomato-centric booth at the previous Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, this market centers on one ingredient: berries.
La Isla Fresca
This Caribbean-inspired booth is recieving two new dishes: The conch salad with avocado, mango and onions had a number of contrasting flavors and textures.
Florida Fresh
All things Florida will be celebrated at this booth. What’s more Florida than key lime pie? A hefty key lime tart with toasted meringue is one of the better deals in the dessert category.
Urban Farm Eats
The Urban Fairy Cocktail is a mix of absinthe, cucumber simple syrup and lime juice. It has a light, floral taste.
Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market
This market is inspired by Germany. For its new dish, warm cheese strudel gets topped with mixed berries for a savory-sweet treat.
