Spring has sprung and the 22nd Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is underway. We recently visited the festival and made stops at every Outdoor Kitchen located along the World Showcase promenade.
Many of the favorites from the previous year have return like the Pineapple Promenade with grown-up Dole Whips, The Smokehouse with “Piggylious” cupcakes and Hanami with Frushi. New menu items include a Pineapple Dog at the Pineapple Promenade, Seafood Ceviche at the NEW Bontanas Botánico and the Ice Pop at Fleur de Lys. Check out what is offered on the 2015 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival menus.
