Garden to Table: EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival Food Guide 2025

Blooming Flavors: My Disney Adventure at EPCOT's 2025 Flower & Garden Festival

Get ready to embark on a magical culinary journey! As someone who discovered Disney magic later in life, I'm thrilled to share my insider's guide to this year's EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. From March 5 to June 2, this botanical wonderland will transform EPCOT into a feast for all your senses—and I'm here to help you navigate the delicious adventure ahead!

When I first experienced Disney in my thirties, I was captivated by their attention to detail and commitment to excellence. The Flower & Garden Festival perfectly embodies this Disney magic, offering 180 mouthwatering treats amid stunning gardens and topiaries. It's not just food—it's Disney storytelling through flavors!

What's New & Exciting This Year

This year brings some fresh additions I can't wait to try! The new Seafood Bake at Beach Grub looks absolutely divine with its combination of shrimp, mussels, clams, and andouille sausage in a white wine broth. And for fellow sweet-tooths, the S'mores Bar (also at Beach Grub) features a fudge brownie with dark chocolate, toasted meringue, and smoked graham cracker—talk about bringing campfire magic to EPCOT!

Of course, I'll be making a beeline for returning favorites like the Beef Tenderloin Tips at Northern Bloom (a dish that perfectly demonstrates that Disney excellence I fell in love with) and the refreshing Avocado Toast at BRUNCHCOT.

Pro Tips for Festival Foodies

Here's a little insider advice from someone who appreciates Disney's masterclass in creating magical experiences:

1. Pick up a Festival Passport when you arrive! This will be your guide to all things tasty.

2. Join the Garden Graze food stroll - collect stamps after trying 5 of the 10 featured bites (marked with * in menus) and receive an exclusive treat from Pineapple Promenade. This is exactly the kind of thoughtful experience Disney excels at!

3. Grab the wearable mini Disney Gift Card featuring Orange Bird—it's both adorable and practical for quick scanning as you eat your way around World Showcase.

Just like how Disney creates magic in every interaction, I encourage you to approach this festival with the same sense of wonder and creativity. The culinary delights here aren't just meals—they're experiences crafted with the same care that goes into every Disney story.

Remember, these garden-fresh offerings won't last forever, so get out there and embrace your inner foodie! After all, Disney taught me that magic isn't confined to a place—it's something we carry with us, especially through shared experiences and wonderful food.
