EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival runs from February 28 to May 27, 2024 and is the EPCOT festival that we have visited the most! As self-proclaimed foodies, we love spending our time at Flower and Garden trying out the various food options. That’s why I am writing this guide to tell you what to try when you visit the Festival of the Arts 2024!
Our guide dives into everything you need to know about 2024 Flower and Garden Festival Food. If you’re in the beginning stages of planning your next theme park vacation and need additional help or are looking for discounted theme park tickets, check out our trusted travel partner The Park Prodigy!
The Best Food at Flower and Garden Festival
Spring is our favorite time to visit Walt Disney World as the temperatures aren’t too high and the crowds (if you go on the right week aren’t too bad.) This means that each year we get to sample various food and drink options from Flower and Garden Festival. The menus have remained relatively the same over the last three years, which makes it easy to tell you what our favorite is because it will most likely be on the menu next year too. Here are our favorites from Flower and Garden Festival
The Best Food at Flower and Garden Festival
- Avocado Toast – marinated tomatoes and plant-based cheese crumbles on toasted ciabatta – we have gotten this every year at Flower and Garden. A staple that we always know will be good!
- Froot Loops Shake – Super refreshing on a warm Orlando day.
- Florida Strawberry Shortcake – We have a sweet tooth so we loved this shortcake!
- IMPOSSIBLE Farmhouse Meatball – lentil bread, spinach, marinated vegetables, and creamy herb aïoli. One of the best of the festival!
- Beef Tenderloin Tips – mushroom bordelaise sauce whipped potatoes, and garden vegetables – Another solid dish that you really can’t go wrong getting.
- Chicken and Waffles – Crispy chicken and a honey sweet cornbread waffle with whipped honey butter and spicy honey – the waffle itself through me for a loop here but the chicken was good, not too spicy either.
- House-made Cheesy Crab Wontons – These were nice and crispy!
- Italian Margarita with limoncello and tequila
- Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail – Islamorada Brewery & Distillery Hibiscus Gin
What did we not like about Flower and Garden Festival food?
Flower and Garden Festival has many food and drink options for you to enjoy. This year alone introduces 20 outdoor kitchens and over 60 NEW options. Most of our least favorite items actually will not be returning to the 2024 Flower and Garden Festival. I guess they must have listened to our reviews!
One unpopular opinion we have is that we aren’t the biggest FRUSHI fans. If you aren’t familiar, this is fruit-shaped like sushi. Frushi can be found at the Hanami stand and contains – Strawberry, Pineapple, and Cantaloupe wrapped in Sweet Rice and Pink Soy Wrap served with Whipped Cream, Drizzled Berry Sauce and Toasted Coconut. It’s one of those dishes you either love or hate but it’s fun to try no matter what! Another disappointment for Flower and Garden Festival 2024 was the Acai Parfait from The Land Cart. The yogurt had no flavor and I would rather save my money and purchase some more exciting festival options like Violet Lemonade.
