2017 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Menus

It’s that time of year again, Flower and Garden is here!  The Flower and Garden Festival is a 90-Day festival held in Epcot, and lasts from tomorrow March 1st – May 29th.  The highlights include the amazing gardens and topiaries around the park, they will really take your breath away!  But the highlight of any festival for me is: The Food, and Disney has given the 2017 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Menus.

The food is setup in Outdoor Kitchens around Epcot and the food served there is connected to produce that’s grown in the gardens linked to each Kitchen.  There are 13 returning Outdoor Kitchens and 2 new ones joining them.  They are: Northern Bloom and The Berry Basket

There are obviously lots of drink options to go along with all that amazing food.  There are also quite a lot of vegetarian and gluten friendly dishes scattered throughout Flower and Garden which you can find listed on the menus.

Of course just like all of the Epcot festivals there’s also going to be a lot of great music, exhibits to see, programs teaching more about gardening and more.  For more information visit www.epcotinspring.com.  Please send me pics and comments about your favorite items and events at Flower and Garden 2017, I want to here from you!
