Flowers? Nah . . . This Is Where You'll Find the Best FOOD at Epcot's Flower & Garden Fest!
In name, Epcot's Flower & Garden Festival might be all about beautiful plants . . . but in practice, it's also an excellent excuse to chow down on seriously delicious food! The globetrotting-inspired Disney park holds nothing back when it comes to the menu at its springtime celebration (which runs until May 28), so don't make the mistake of thinking that the Food & Wine Festival is the only annual Epcot event to attend on an empty stomach.
The folks at Disney sent us a peek at the food and drinks available during this Spring's festivities, and it's making our sad desk lunches look extra pathetic. If you're a foodie on the hunt for the best things to nosh on while you enjoy the stunning flowers and intricate arrangements at the festival, just check out these highlights from this year's menu. And if your stomach is still growling, read the full list of international delicacies you can enjoy over at the Disney Parks Blog — there's something to satisfy every craving!
