Foodie Guide To EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival

With the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival around the corner, it means delicious food and beautiful gardens are to be explored at EPCOT.

This year, Disney has decided to sprinkle some extra magic and add over 50 new food items to the festival menus, meaning there is much more food to choose from. Since there are limited hours that the outdoor kitchens are open, going in with a plan will help ensure that you are able to experience all the best available.

In this post, we will go over the available food options, and where to find the ones you want to try the most. This will be the Ultimate Flower & Garden Festival Foodie Guide.

For more information about what to expect, and the fun activities available during this festival, check out EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival Guide.

Flower & Garden Festival Foodie Guide: Outdoor Kitchens

The Outdoor Kitchens (food booths) can be found throughout the whole park, allowing you to eat at almost every corner! Which, truthfully, can be a bit overwhelming, as there are so many different things to try (especially the ones that are new this year).

To help make planning and navigation easier for your trip, I’ve decided to separate all of the Outdoor Kitchens by area in EPCOT where you can find them.

There are four different areas of EPCOT; World Discovery, World Nature, World Celebration, and (the most popular) World Showcase.

The World Showcase is where all the country pavilions are located, and where most of the outdoor kitchens are located. Even if you spend your whole time in the World Showcase, you will be able to see and experience most of the food options available this year.

Flower & Garden Festival: Cost of Food

With so many different food options, one thing to consider is the cost of each one, so you can budget accordingly.

Individually, most of the food options vary in cost but on average each item costs about $5 – $10. Some items are a little more, and some are a little less, but as a majority, they fall within that range.

If you went to the Flower & Garden Festival last year, you will probably notice a slight increase in the prices. Some of the items have increased anywhere between .25 ¢ – .75¢ which isn’t much but can add up if you are planning on trying a wide variety.

Where the cost of each item isn’t going to be listed in the Festival Passport, there are stands that are set up in front of each Outdoor Kitchen with a list of items that the food booth offers, as well as the current price for each.

Also, note that prices are subject to change.

Flower & Garden Festival Foodie Guide: Garden Graze

I’m sure you’ve noticed that some of the food items listed above have said ‘Garden Graze’ next to the item. Let’s talk about this delicious food stroll that is available.

Similar to the Holiday Cookie Stroll, the Garden Graze is the stroll through the Flower & Garden Festival with plant-based food.

You might be thinking plant-based food isn’t your thing, so why would you try this Garden Graze stroll? Because if anyone can make delicious plant-based food, it is Disney.

I have never had such mouthwatering and flavorful plant-based items as I have had at Disney. Disney really goes above and beyond with their plant-based food options and they are one of a kind.

How Does Garden Graze Work?

In the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival booklet, there is a section in the back for the Garden Graze with all the garden graze items listed.

There are 10 items that are a part of the Garden Graze, and purchasing 5 of them gets you a fun treat at the end. With each purchase of a qualifying item, make sure to have the cast member stamp your booklet to get your sweet prize at the end.
