REVIEW: We Spent $18 to Be SAD at This EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival Booth

Come along with us to The Land Pavilion to check out the special festival items at Sunshine Seasons!

Sunshine Seasons

The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially started, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, unique topiaries to check out, merchandise to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you; we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to Sunshine Seasons to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!

Eats

First, we checked out the new Mickey-shaped Lemon-Violet Macaron. You can snag this for $6.29.

Mickey-shaped Lemon-Violet Macaron

The cookie itself had a very light lemon flavor that wasn’t as strong as we hoped. The filling was also not really fitting to that lemon-violet name — it tasted more like cream cheese, and it was pretty hard and tough instead of soft and creamy. Ultimately, the flavors here just weren’t hitting, and we didn’t get a violet taste at all.

She’s a beaut!

If you’re a die-hard macaron lover, it might be for you, but we were hoping for that more unique flavor combination.

Drinks

There’s just one festival-themed drink at Sunshine Seasons this year, and it’s the non-boozy Orange Cream Milk Shake topped with whipped cream, an orange cookie, and a citrus macaron. This is available for $10.99.

Orange Cream Milk Shake

Honestly, we were a bit disappointed in this. The milkshake itself didn’t have the smooth orange creamsicle flavor we were hoping for — instead, it tasted a bit like orange juice mixed with milk. The toppings were fairly nice, though. The cookie was buttery and shortbread-like, and the macaron had a punchy orange flavor while also being nice and soft.

Comes with a topper

So, do we recommend the Sunshine Seasons treats?

OVERALL

This year, we’re probably not going to strongly recommend the Sunshine Seasons treats. We’ve been wowed by some of the festival offerings here in the past, but these were underwhelming on the flavor scale. If you’re super interested in either of these two items, you might want to try them out to satisfy curiosity, but we’re not going to name them best of the fest or anything.

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
