EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival season is upon us! The festival runs March 5–June 2, 2025 and is a fun spring event with gorgeous topiaries, garden displays, tasty food booths, and live music. Basically, EPCOT turns into a giant floral wonderland—and it’s all included with your park ticket!

This year, not only did EPCOT show out with its gorgeously lush flower gardens and topiaries, but the booths had some of our favorite foods of all time! If you’re planning a trip during this festival, here are my recommendations:

Yacht Grub

Trio of Dips and Chips: Caramelized Onion Dip, Whipped Feta Dip, and Pimento Cheese with House-made Potato Chips and Caviar.

10/10 – I mean, who doesn’t love chips & dip?! We ended up getting TWO to share!

Sparkling Cocktail Flight: Elderflower Sparkling Cocktail, Lemon Sparkling Cocktail, & Orange Sparkling Cocktail.

Delicious and refreshing! Loved the lemon the best, elderflower was our second favorite, and then the orange was our least favorite – but it was still good!

Beach Grub

Grilled Street Corn on the Cob: Grilled Street Corn on the Cob with Savory Garlic Spread and “Cheese” (plant-based).

This was so good and flavorful, 7/10. I would have never guessed it was plant based cheese, it just tasted like a buttery garlic spread.

S’mores Bar: Fudge Brownie, Dark Chocolate, Toasted Meringue, and Smoked Graham Cracker.

This was good when we first took a bite, but as it sat turned into a gooey mess of flavors. Definitely eat it first! 5.5/10.

Northern Bloom

Beef Tenderloin Tips: Beef Tenderloin Tips with Mushroom Bordelaise Sauce, Whipped Potatoes, and Garden Vegetables.

Delicious, the meat was tender, and the portion was generous. 8.5/10.

Beer Flight: Stone Brewing Delicious IPA, Collective Arts Brewing Grapefruit Lime Sour, & Collective Arts Brewing Hazy State Session IPA.

If you’re just looking for a single beer, we’d pick the Hazy IPA – we liked it the best! Definitely thought I would be a fan of the Grapefruit Sour, but it was our least favorite.

Magnolia Terrace

Grilled Gulf Oysters: Grilled Gulf oysters with Cajun Andouille Sausage Butter and Lemon.

8.5/10 – these had SO much flavor. And, we especially loved how they were grilled fresh right in front of you. I did think there were a bit too many breadcrumbs, though. But, a solid choice and we’d get it again!

Parish Brewing Co. Ghost in the Machine Double IPA – Loved it! 9/10 & would get again.

BRUNCHCOT

Avocado Toast: Avocado toast with Marinated Tomatoes and Plant-based Cheese Crumbles on Toasted Ciabatta (Plant-based).

Very good! Our toast was a bit hard on one side, but all the flavors were bright and delicious. 9/10!

3 Daughters Brewing Coffee Blonde Ale, St. Petersburg, FL: Not a fan – 3/10. This tasted a little watered down, but would be good coffee flavoring in a stout, but didn’t work as a blonde ale.

Swirled Showcase

Soft-Serve in a Waffle Cone: Flavors: Vanilla, Peanut Butter, & Grape Jelly.

My kids have always been very serious about their love for PB&Js. So, when they saw this treat they immediately asked to try it. Kids: 10/10. Adult: 8:10. They loved it, we liked it…the jelly flavor was a little over powering, but it was still good! To keep this treat from dripping in thehot Florida heat, we asked for ours in a cup. 

Fleur de Lys

La Vie en Rose Frozen Slush: Vodka, Grey Goose L’Orange, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, and White and Red Cranberry Juices.

Because you just can’t do an EPCOT festival without getting a frozen slush from France! 10/10, as always! This is actually my favorite frozen slush that they do.

Overall, there are so many great options at this year’s EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, but these were our favorites! Haven’t made it out to the festival yet? There’s still time – Flower & Garden Festival is in full bloom until June 2, 2025.
