This year’s EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is going to be AMAZING. We’re really excited to see the festival begin, which happens on March 4th (and it runs through June 1st). The best thing about this festival is the FOOD, and now that we’ve got ALL the food booth menus and prices, we’re already making our list of everything we’re going to try.
However, while we were making our list, we noticed something very peculiar about two of the food booths: their dates. So let’s talk about why this seems…well…odd.
So when we were looking at the foodie guide that Disney released, we noticed that one food booth, Farmer’s Feast, had the following in parentheses after its name: “Available March 4 to May 10.” The festival runs until June 1st, so it seems like this booth is only available for part of the festival.
Now, we’re used to this booth having two separate menus, one for the first half of the festival and then one for the last half. But this year, things seem to be different. The first menu, Early Bloom Menu, is available March 4th through April 5th and will feature the following:
- Grilled Asparagus with pancetta bacon, spring peas, frisée lettuce, truffle sherry vinaigrette, and soft-poached egg
- Scallop with spring pea risotto, lemon-beurre blanc, and gremolata
- Blueberry Crumble Cake with blueberry-lemon zest soft-serve and blueberry compote

Scallop with spring pea risotto featuring BEN’S ORIGINAL INTERNATIONAL GRAINS Arborio Rice, lemon-beurre blanc, and Gremolata
The second menu, the Springtime menu, is only available April 6th through May 10th, suggesting this booth will close after that. Here’s that menu:
- Heirloom Tomatoes and Fresh Mozzarella with shallot vinaigrette, sourdough croutons, pesto, micro basil, and balsamic pearls
- Grilled Beef Strip Loin with tomato risotto, tomato beurre blanc, and basil pesto
- Peach Cobbler with cinnamon gelato and streusel topping
A beverage menu will be available through both menus:
- B Nektar Punk Lemonade: Raspberry lemonade hard cider (New)
- Playalinda Brewing Company Hibiscus Tangelo Hard Seltzer (New)
- Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail: Islamorada Hibiscus Gin and Simply Lemonade
- Frozen Lemon Tea with Bärenjäger Honey & Bourbon
But that’s not all. The Florida Fresh food booth also has an early closure date. Disney notes that the booth will only be available until May 25th. That menu includes:
Food:
- Conch Fritters with Key Lime aïoli
- Blackened Fish Slider with fried green tomato and Cajun rémoulade on a brioche bun (New)
- Florida Strawberry Shortcake with vanilla pound cake, Fresh Driscoll’s Strawberries, strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and strawberry crumbs
Beverages:
- Cucumber-Watermelon Slushy (Non-alcoholic)
- Crooked Can Brewing Company Fiori di Limone Lager (New)
- Orange Blossom Brewing Co. Starlight Papaya Pilsner
- Brewery Ommegang Melon Falls Watermelon Kolsch
- Beer Flight
- Cucumber-Watermelon Slushy with gin
So what’s going on? Is Disney really going to close these booths early? We’re not entirely sure, but if you want to grab food and drinks from these two food booths, you’ll want to do so before they close.
We’ll keep an eye out for more information and keep you updated on the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

If these booths are in Communicore Hall, perhaps they have to close early for Cool Kids’ Summer events? Thanks for keeping us informed.
