The Flower & Garden Festival will be here before we know it!The 2019 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival will take place March 6 through June 3. This is my favorite festival, in part because it changes all the time as spring fades into summer. One of the best parts of the Flower & Garden Festival is the food, or the Outdoor Kitchens as they’re called. The menus have been released, and it looks like there are going to be some delicious snack sized items on hand!
In 2018 the most popular item was the Beef Brisket Slider at THE SMOKEHOUSE, and that returns this year. Also returning is last year’s most popular dessert; the Honey Cheesecake at The Honey Bee-stro. New kitchens this year include one offering tasty and healthy choices, a citrus booth, and one featuring IMPOSSIBLE Foods. That’s the one that I’m most excited about. IMPOSSIBLE is trying to make a real difference for the planet, and they’re doing it in a delicious way.
The full menus, according to the Walt Disney World website, are below. (GF) stands for gluten/wheat-friendly, (V) is vegetarian (not necessarily vegan), and (KA) is kid approved.
