Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival Guide

This festival is amazing, but it can be overwhelming even for veterans. To help you out, I have answered some of the most common questions and provided you with some information about this year’s festival…complete with menus!

What is the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival?

This amazing festival began in 1994 and is now in it’s 30th year. The festival features food and drink items from around the world as well as from local farms. Guests visit food booths, known as Outdoor Kitchens, that are set up throughout the park. The portions are reasonably small, so you can try lots of different options!

When Is the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival?

The 2023 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival runs from March 1 to July 5, 2022. That is 127 days of yummy goodness!

Over 20 Outdoor Kitchens and special food locations will offer new delights, as well as returning festival favorites.

Where Are the Outdoor Kitchens?

The Outdoor Kitchens can be found all throughout Epcot. They can be found in World Showcase, World Discovery, World Nature, and World Celebration.

If a kitchen is for a country that is part of World Showcase, it will be located near that country. You can find the location of all of the others listed with the menus.

Be sure to pick up a Festival Passport to help you find your way!

Do I Need to Bring Anything with Me?

The only thing you really need to bring is your appetite and some form of payment. If you are feeling particularly environmentally conscious, you could bring a set of travel utensils and/or straws. And some die hard festival goers bring their own tray!

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival FAQ

Do I need to buy an additional ticket for the festival?

No, the festival is included with your Epcot admission ticket and Epcot park reservation.

How do I pay at the Outdoor Kitchens?

The Outdoor Kitchens accept the same forms of payment as other dining locations throughout Walt Disney World. You can pay with cash, major credit cards, Disney gift cards, and a Disney Rewards Redemption Card.

Is the festival open all day?

The Outdoor Kitchens booths typically open around 11:00am and close just before park closing. Occasionally, some booths may open a little later and some may even close a little early.

I am a really picky eater. Do I have to order everything as is?

The answer all depends on how the item is prepared. If it has a sauce, garnish, side, etc. that is added just before they hand it to you, you can ask them to leave it off. I recommend watching how things are prepared before you order something you may not like.

Are there places to sit and eat?

Not many. You may get lucky and find a bench, but most people stand and eat. There are tables spread throughout the Outdoor Kitchen areas where you can stand. Many guests have been known to use the trashcans as tables.

I don’t drink alcohol. Will there be anything for me to drink?

Yes! Many of the Outdoor Kitchens offer non-alcoholic specialty drinks and all of them sell bottled water.
