The BEST Of EPCOT's Flower & Garden Festival 2024

it's time for food and wine flower Edition [Music] oo hey there manf we are here at Epcot today to kick off the flower and garden festival we will be here over the next few days checking out everything this Festival has to offer from the beautiful topiaries and Gardens to eating our way around all of the outdoor k K this is my favorite festiv of the year I'm so excited Epcot is so gorgeous right now so let's get into it come on welcome welcome welcome to Epcot and my favorite Festival look at the beautiful new wish topiary this is one of the brand new topiaries for this year we'll be checking them all out as we rock around the festival they're one of my favorite things about flowering Garden cuz I think they're so amazing like the horiculture team are geniuses like look at the succulents making up her dress and then it's a hose for Star oh my gosh this is so cute all right got to grab our Festival passport these are a must have when you come to the Epcot festivals it's going to have all of the booths listed with all of the menus your garden Graves which is the food craw this festival is in the back absolute need when you come in here it's on the app too and there's an allergy guide on the app but I like having the physical thing too flower and garden runs this year from February 28th through May 27th a little bit shorter than last year which I actually appreciate I like a little diet Epcot mixed in through throughout the year but you still have a nice long time to come and enjoy this beautiful Festival as with every Festival we do we P you the ma fam on what our budget should be and you told us it was $100 per person or $200 in total so we have grabbed our gift cards each loaded with $100 each and are set to set off to our first Booth Okay I lied I know I said we were going to go to our booths first but we definitely got distracted by this beautiful figment topiary here in the center of the garden oh my goodness he looks so cute now normally the the figment toop Aries over in front of imagination but I love that since they opened up the gardens here they've got him with the flowers and spaces of birth right behind him stunning I also this is a tiny detail but I love these like piics that go into the garden with Spike the bee on them um I am a terrible Gardener I cannot keep anything alive but my mother is a wonderful Gardener and I have a lot of memories of childhood of going to nurseries with her and her telling me what to look for on those pics like this is the flower we're looking for so I don't know I just feel weirdly nostalgic looking at those headed to our first booth and to check out a few more topiaries but wanted to mention that when we picked up our gift cards we checked out spikes pollination nation which is the scavenger hunt for this Festival the little scavenger plates are $10 and then you're going to walk around you're going to look for Spike the bee planted in a bunch of the gardens match the seed to where you are and then when you're completed you can bring it back to any of the Disney gift shops and get a prize and the prize this year is really cute y'all it's tiny cornhole it's so so cute adorable you get to pick one of the four little cornhole designs and I just think this is such a fun addition to the festivals cuz it keeps your kids engaged and wanting to look at the different Garden displays while Mom and Dad you get to walk around and eat and drink and speaking of garden displays look how cute Donald is right here look a little bee on his forehead he is just the cutest I am obsessed with this Festival it's just so beautiful and these to beers are so big that to beer is got to be 8T tall it's it's unbelievable the detail in it too picked up our first item and probably surprising to no one it's from a joffre now I should note that I am a 2024 seasonal beverage Ambassador for joffre it's um probably the thing I'm most proud of in my entire life uh which means that they were very kind and sent us a voucher to try all of their flower and garden specialty beverages so the joffre drinks today will not count towards our budget and also shout out joffre I love you thank you and thank you to all of you for tagging me in pictures of your shaky Jes because I think they noticed this is an iced honey Jasmine latte so it is espresso and then a honey Jasmine syrup milk topped with whipped cream and graham cracker crumbles [Music] cheers you know that's pretty darn good if I were to get this again I would not put whipped cream on it cuz I'm not a whipped cream girly but the coffee drink itself is actually not too and I think that's cuz it's honey Jasmine so it's not like an artificial fruity flavor it's just a little bit of light sweetness i' go a little bit lighter on the milk too cuz I'm a black coffee drinker but overall this is a very delicious very sippable iced latte a little bit unique I like that coffee in hand we are now going to swing by and look at one of the newest topiaries Groot look at him he's growing up out of the ground with the different bushes and holding the greenhouse mix volume one a very kind cast member told us that he plays music every 20 minutes on the 20 starting at the top of of the hour so like the O the 20 the 40 Etc that's so cool he's adorable what an awesome top area Edition yeah well done Disney all right it is now time for our first booth and I have lost Molly hey it's my favorite be yeah but our first birth is brunch cot the only thing that could learn me from Buzz is brunch yes we'll make it to brunch cot eventually there's just so much to look at this is one of my favorite gardens around the festival so in addition to the giant topiaries they also have these smaller Gardens with designated kinds of plants and this is the prehistoric Gardens if you couldn't tell by the dinosaurs in here I'm literally obsessed with these metal dinosaurs I wish I could find them to put them in my home um and these are all plants that would have been around in the age of the dinosaurs there's also spice Gardens in Morocco and Italy there's orchids in Mexico there's a gnome Garden so just cute little displays to tickle your eyeballs as you're enjoying the festival saw some adorable topiaries of Huey Dewey and Louie but we have finally made it to our first stop well the first food stop and that is brunch crop where we have picked up two returning favorites the avocado toast and the fried cinnamon roll bites first up the avocado toast it's got marinated tomatoes plant-based cheese crumbles on toasted chip spot it now this is also our first dish on the garden graze the garden graze is the foodie crawl at this festival and it's all plant-based items so the way these food crawls work are there are a number of participating items anytime you pick up one of these items ask the cast members and they will put a stamp in your book once don't you have five stamps you can return and get a free prize which is more food cuz again you get rewarded for eating with more eating now you don't have to get five different things you don't have to do it all in the same day you could get five of the exact same thing in anytime throughout the festival to redeem it but I always love doing these little foodie crawls because it's a good way to try new things that you might not otherwise and I'm especially excited because this is always one of my favorites at the festival you got this I am a basic Millennial who loves brunch and especially loves avocado toast and this is delightful there's a ton of that kind of still chunky avocado down on the bottom it's spiced really well you've got the chabata that's holding up to it and I love these fresh tomatoes on top that are adding some brightness and acidity now the only thing I probably wouldn't like about this dish is the plant-based cheese and that's just because I don't care for plant-based cheese cheese is my favorite food I can tell it's plant-based I've never met a plant-based cheese that tastes like cheese and this is no different however there's not a ton of it on here so I think it's supposed to be replicating like a goat cheese if anything it just adds a little bit of salt to the dish a little bit of nuttiness to it but I could take it or leave it in this case U overall though if you're a pl-based eater or even just a lover of brunch this is a nice refreshing bite that is and I am trying the fried cinnamon roll bites with cream cheese frosting and some candied bacon I remember this being delectable last year so I've got my I've got some High Hopes I'm ready to catch whatever contents come out of this yo oh [Music] wow oh my I don't think it's actually over sugared which is pretty rare for me crispy exterior buttery light interior that leads to just some incredible filling there it tastes lightly caramell some lightness from the cream cheese yeah this makes the list I may need to check last year's footage I think it used to be full of the cream cheese filling and so now it's a cinnamon roll filling a cinnamon roll filling and my goodness plus its game up love that oh my gosh there's just enough there's so much cinnamon not over not a not a crazy amount but there's so much cinnamon that it offsets any of the sugar that's inside that filling I know it's there but I don't mind wo so good popped across the way to Farmers Feast where they have moved the legendary corn on the cob so if you're a corn on the cob fan like I am this is where you need to come this year but besides the corn on the cob what is so cool about the menu at this booth in particular is it changes as the seasons throughout the festival change so you're going to have a different menu right now than you are in about a month and then another one to close out the festival so it's one you can return to time and time again for our trip today of course we got that corn on the cob which is another stamp on the garden GRS amazing and then we also got the strawberry rhubarb upside down cake all right I am going to try the grilled street corn on the cob with Savory garlic spread and plantbased cheese let's get into it wao that's a lot of garlic does it have the juice oh it has the juice I can't imagine them a wonderful thing is that joke dead yet uh maybe probably we're going to keep it living Forever The Garlic flavor is there it dominates right off the bat and then you get the sweetness of the Corn I got to be honest I don't really taste parmesan this is a plant-based cheese so if you're getting this expecting it to taste like traditional parmesan you're not going to get that what you're getting instead is some slight salt a little bit of nuttiness um but not in the same like sort of strength that you'd get from an actual parmesan cheese but as the salt element to the dish it's serving its purpose what I do love is that this is grilled perfectly right on stage so you get to watch your food be made and it's tasty this is the strawberry rhubarb upside down cake it's served with a creme fresh whipped cream I am so excited to try this I love strawberries and I don't think I've had rhubarb I might have had rhubarb but I do love cake it's sweeter than I expected it to be flavor-wise I'm into it but texturally it's throwing me a little bit whatever the the sugar water juice mixture is that they put in the the bottom of the thing and put the fruit and then flip it with when they make the upside down cake it's making the fruit really mushy and that I don't think happens as much with pineapple when you do pineapple upside down cake and so that's kind of throwing me cuz it's it's kind of just not an appealing texture to me it's really good flavor-wise I really like the rhubarb kind of like grittiness that's being added I love the lightness of this clearly housemade whipped cream um but I would probably skip this one just cuz it's not my favorite texturally and I think there's probably going to be better desserts popping into creation shop while we're right here for one air conditioning always and two to check out the festival Merch this year kicking things off with a new lug bag of little orange bird also have a lug brand passholder bag featuring Spike the be different lug brand passholder bag featuring Spike the be passholder Spike the be shirt orange bird loungefly

minia brought and Mickey brought flowers we love love how stunning is this in kto topiary this was the entrance topiary last year I love it so much it's so beautiful and then if you look at all the details like look at Bell's skirt with all of the little uh things she's sewn on there and then you've got the different color tones within all the different dresses and you've got Antonio I love the succulents on Isabella's dress Alan let's do something fun yeah okay when I say go walk don't run cuz we don't run to whichever um magalls problems you associate with oh which traumas we have which trauma do you have yeah ready ready ready go yeah you got yeah I got I yeah yeah I feel you yeah uh fun game man fam tell us which magal you identify with down in the comments made our way into World Showcase and swung by trowel and trellis which is hosted by impossible so it's not surprising that we have picked up the impossible Farmhouse meatball this is kind of a meatball wrap with a lentil bread spinach marinated vegetables and a creamy herb aoli this is is another stamp on the garden Gray it's wind it's blustery out here flavor-wise it's pretty good I really like this kind of like roasted red pepper creamy herb aoli it's very nice it's adding a little bit of zest a little bit of spice it's nice and peppery as well the lentil bread texture isn't my favorite it's kind of falling apart um it's not like a WFT like it looks like it kind of could be a tortilla but it's kind of falling apart um but it's got a nice kind of grain earthy flavor to it it's just a little gritty as you can see the meatball is fine it's a texture thing for me I I'm sorry and I love you to all of my plant-based um friends I'm just not a fan of impossible meat cuz it just texturally doesn't convince me that it's it's meat um but it's spiced really well it's cooked well it has a nice Smoky flavor so I think if you're a plant-based eater this is definitely a good choice it's nice and Hearty um but for me this is not something I would choose to eat again just swung past one of the most beautiful top areas that I've seen this festival and it's new and it's Dante Miguel and Dante is honestly breaking my mind the way the that the molds look like it's holding him up as he's leaping that's incredible and appropriately we went to De fiestas and picked up some delicious treats well hopefully delicious treats there are however no tables so you know what time it is it is trash can table time it's trash can table time that's myo did you greo in table well we're by Coco oh I love it yeah I know okay as far as food goes we picked up the Tamala de Ras and the so D chilo oh my gosh this just looks and smells very good for the soape this is made with guo pepper bra pork on fried corn shell with black beans shredded cabbage kma Mexicana queso fresco and [Music] chives the first thing that I want to acknowledge is the absolute density of the Masa and the corn on the bottom here followed by the black beans so it's very much layered you have the uh the Masa then you have black bean and then this one you get the meat and your spicy sauce along with the Cabbage I gotta say love the black beans Great flavor nicely spiced I love the sauce on top it is acidic and spicy so if You Are Spice averse you might want to skip this one or just ask for no spice on it or no sauce on top the meat itself while it is flavored really nicely is a touch dry um so I think that's the only note I would give this but all together with the the cheese sort of cutting through the spiciness of the sauce I think it's a really complete dish I just wish that the meat was moist and not dry that's but other than that I enjoy it and I'm digging into the Tamal de rahas which is made with poblana peppers corn and cheese in the Masa with a poblano cream sauce cream of Mexicana pickled carrots and onions with chives super excited to dig into this and excited that this is a vegetarian option in Mexico which you don't always get in a Savory dish I'm so excited I love tamales now this one's like half the Masa so you don't have to unwrap it or anything it's just this delicious looking mixture here got to get some of the Pickled radish or onion mhm mhm that's best the fist oh my gosh oh there's the Pano Peppers coming in now if you've never had a tamale the texture is between grits and mashed potatoes because it is cornmeal that's like ground up and mixed with all the different things and so it's not as creamy as mashed potatoes but it's not as gritty as grits that's the best way to describe it but there's so much flavor in this it's not really hot you can taste the pepper but it's not hot spicy and then you've got the delicious queso fresco I love the acidic bite from the pickled onions best of the Fest nailed it Mexico working our way into the Odyssey building now this is where the Citrus Blossom Booth is located which is themed to that cutie little orange bird but actually as a fun surprise Florida fresh is in here too right now the booth had some technical difficulties so this Odyssey building right now opening day has both Festival booths in here I don't know how long that'll stay for but Florida fresh is supposed to have its own booth but that's fine we adapt and overcome I've set it for basically every Festival that we've done but I love that they're using this building as a productive space during festivals cuz one who doesn't want to sit in air conditioning for a little bit and two who doesn't love the adorable theming it's orange bird so there's some animation of him projecting on the wall there's some cute artwork everywhere you've also got some of the orange bird merchandise available in here now quick little Disney history 101 if you're not familiar with orange bird and you're like why is there so much merchandise with a bird that has an orange for a face I'm very confused I understand I would be too but orange bird actually dates back before Walt Disney World opened he was first created in 1969 as a partnership between the Disney company and the Florida Citrus commission he was their mascot because they sponsored the enchanted Tikki room when Magic Kingdom opened as well as Sunshine tree terrace Sunshine tree terrace is now located when you first get into Adventure Land but it used to be where Aloha isle is and in fact the Citrus swirl which is the frozen orange juice and vanilla soft sered swirl that actually existed in Disney World before the do whip so orange bird is an OG and honestly I really wish they would bring him back as a character meet and green inside you can also get the adorable orange bird sippy cup and inside of that you can pick up the non-alcoholic orange and lemon smoothie in our first C combo Booth we have citrus Blossom and Florida fresh from that we have picked up from the Citrus Blossom a beer flight very much looking forward to that some orange sesame timura shrimp and from Florida fresh we have picked up Molly this is the Strawberry Shortcake plant-based another Garden graze check we are just really powering through that motoring through that and a new item this year the cubanito sandwich oo first up the cubanito with moo marinated pork belly ham Swiss cheese pickles and a stone ground mustard sauce and I'm really looking forward to this don't you ruin [Applause] me okay typically in a Cuban I'm looking for three major things one crisp bread that's about half of that is crisp the other half because we were filming unfortunately as become soggy I imagine if you eat this fresh it's all going to be very crisp so I'm going to go ahead and awarded that the second is a really really good ground mustard this mustard is good but it doesn't like shine through and it's not going to punch you in the face so if you aren a mustard fan you'll probably be okay with this but if you like mustard and you're looking for that it's only sort of halfway there and lastly is a good amount of meat and I can say for a small sandwich like this I think that's a pretty good amount of meat this is a darn good Cuban sandwich is it the best I've ever had no but I think this is pretty darn good and worth it here I'm going to dig into the orange sesame tempora shrimp it's got an orange chili sauce on top and it's actually pretty good serving for $7 you've got like five five scrimp [Music] skewers okay wo I am delightfully surprised by this Alan's making a face behind the camera with the same face the tempora is actually very light I love tempora shrimp this is how I learned to like seafood was tempora shrimp uh I also the sauce is definitely sweet cuz it's orange but it came out of nowhere with a little punch a little bit of heat if you're super heated verse skip it it's not too hot though but it's definitely hotter than I expected it to be again I think you get a good portion size I think this is a a fun Twist on a very classic and beloved food this is this is nice this is a sleeper hit and rounding out our eats here before we get to our drinks is the Florida Strawberry Shortcake now last year this was not plant-based this year it is I enjoyed it last year I'm hoping I'm going to enjoy it the same amount this year you know there's no point in going for a dainty bite here got everything strawberry whipped cream I assume or whipped cream substitute and Shortcake okay are there things that I would do to make it better yes but is this solid 100% the whipped cream itself still tastes like whipped cream strawberries have been macerated in a sugar um or sugar like syrup for a bit so they are very very flavorful but also not super sweet the one sort of downfall is that the cake is a little bit grainy and it's not super moist I think soaking that in the same like juice that the strawberries have been mated in might change that because at the top where it has happened where it started to soak in is like A+ cake at that in that point but it's a really solid dessert and I think it hasn't really had much fall off from last year when it wasn't plant-based and now it's time for Molly and Allen's beer review quarter let's see looking at this beer flight from Citrus Blossom they are all citrusy beers you have a Southern Tier Brewing Company orange twist Imperial ale a left-and brewing lemon drop Shandy from Longmont Colorado the first one is from New York by the way and a Stone Brewing Tangerine Express hazy IPA from California which one do you want to start with yeah going to start with the IPA you want the IPA I could have guessed that I would like the lemon drop Shandy it's like drawing the sword from the stone to me excal here we are Cheers [Laughter] Cheers can I order like two full of these and just like walk I am done I don't need to try any more beers that is so good is that the Shandy one that's the lemon um it tastes like Lin and cougal lemon shandy but a little bit more beer flavor um that one is a little bit sweeter it is so refreshing it is so crisp it is going to be so perf perfect walking around hot Epcot with full size one of those at some point Shandy I mean it's called that way because it's almost like a lemonade style that's good too right uh that hits nail on the head as far as the Tangerine IPA goes if you are hesitant to try ipas there are a couple of beers that I would steer you towards this is one of them because a lot of the Hallmarks of IPA Citrus flavor come from the Hops that are used but sometimes that can be too accurate for a lot of folks this just tastes like citrus tangerine and it doesn't have a lot of like the pine flavors that people turned off to an ipas I think this is really good this is a bright IPA that I could sip on in the heat which is rare for an IPA I want you to drink this and tell me what it tastes like okay orange twist Imperial it smells like a um dreamsicle it tastes like a dream it tastes like a dreamsicle if you like an orange creamsicle the soda or the ice cream that's what this tastes like with a little hint of beer I mean down to like the creaminess of that yeah I'm surpr I looked at the list cuz it's it's an ale and I was like this has got to be some kind of like milk beer but no it's very good it's just a little bit too creamy for me um my order of these beers goes Shandy 1 IPA 2 al3 IPA 1 Shandy 2 al3 great beer flight though I think this will probably end up on best of the Fest it's on mine 100% this flight is going to be I I think it could be shared a share best with Fest item but this is just if you get one beer flight I think sight unseen right now I'd probably steer you towards this one we have more on the list but that's bold we do gold claim see how it works out for me I feel confident though made our way through Norway there's not any booths there but we did O both the troll and the Anna and Elsa topiaries and now we have found ourselves in China where there is a very cute panda bear topiary unfortunately it is behind a barrier so you cannot hug it but you can hug it in spirit with your mind uh and stopped by the Lotus Blossom which is the booth in China to pick up one of my returning favorites the housemade cheesy crab wontons AKA crab rangoons now they don't normally come with this darker sauce on Top This is the spicy peanut sauce that goes on the Mala chicken skewer the cember looked like me like I was cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs when I asked him to put it on the crab rangon but I promise you it's delightful you [Laughter] ready it's like the best C rangon I've ever had because they are made fresh and it's crab with a c not crab with a K not that I'm biased against crab with a k i often order Chinese delivery just to order like six ORS of crab rangon Alan is nding his head behind the camera so you've got that nice crab mixed with cream cheese fresh warm wons nice see flake and crispy and if it's not too busy you can ask nicely for them to put the spicy peanut sauce on it if you want to try this hack there was not a long line otherwise I wouldn't do it um but it's got a little bit of heat it's got a little bit of peanut butter which again it sounds like this is not going to work at all but it's one of my favorite dishes with or without the peanut sauce I'm very happy right now just swung by a refreshment Outpost and picked up the seasonal fruit paray which is our final item on the garden grze I mean I'm not going to brag but we knocked that out really fast so go team go and we also picked up the Sweet Water Brewing half a gummy fruit punch IPA that is a mouthful but all of it sounds delicious and if not delicious at least interesting okay this is the seasonal fruit parfait this is mango D whip with a sweet chili sauce on top some tahen and at the bottom looks like we have some fresh fruit here as well and I am ready to eat bags are so handy like guys get a bag okay anyway huh I think I really really like that oh and then the chili comes through okay now the mango dough up is nice subtly sweet good mango flavor but what I'm really loving is the sweet chili sauce with the tahen it almost starts out sort of sweet and sour and then you get the tahen hit if you're spicers you don't like spicy food at all don't try this there is some heat to it but I think it's really welcome it's a really nice sweet heat combo now we're going to dig down try to get our fruit out here looking like some pineapple and mango mango just mango I can confirm there's something red where's watermelon that one oh hold on it's watermelon but it's soaked up it's soaked up the chili sauce woo I mean I like this refreshing and spicy I'm a big fan and I am going to try this beer which I'm very excited about because sweet waterer Brewing is from Atlanta which is where I'm from and I've been to this Brewery before and I'm a big fan of their beers so but I've not tried this one if Hawaiian Punch and beer had a beautiful baby it would be this it literally tastes like Hawaiian Punch or a Capri Sun Fruit Punch flavor and a beer mixed together it's not very hoppy which is what you expect with an IPA like Allan said earlier about that Tangerine one if you're not sure if you're going to like an IPA but you like a fruity beer this is really really delicious and I'm shocked at how much it does taste like fruit punch stopped by the Bal marcket in Germany nice thank you I'm doing my best uh and picked up a fan favorite it's me I'm the fan uh this is this is the toasted pretzel bread with Black Forest ham and melted cheese y'all look at this look how much [Music] cheese so cute it's so good you have a warm pretzel roll and it's been split into four it's been quartered up at the top so you can kind of pull it apart and then you've got that kind of salty but a little sweet of the Black Forest ham and then you've got this melty nutty cheese on top it kind of a little bit in the hopest hope of my dreams reminds me of the amazing pretzel bread polar part in Disneyland this is like the closest Disney World's ever gotten um but it is melty it is Ooey it is gooey fan favorite no notes five stars Germany is home to IMO one of the best topiaries at the festival you've got Snow White and all seven dwarves I think they are so darn cute and in honor of their presence alen last year we went and posed like our favorite dwarf uhhuh this year I think we should go pose like the dwarf we feel right now okay the one we that matches our emotions all right you're up first oh happy it's my favorite Festival so I'm happy great feeling dock that's an emotion put your sat such it's Molly from the future here from the daytime tomorrow and I just got to say I love Snow White and the Seven dwar soap eer but look at these gnomes that are outside the bathrooms they are so cute I want to cry a little bit is that dramatic well we had to stop by and see the train where of course they've got the awesome banners for every Festival so this time is no different and we are now moving through Italy where we are skipping the Italy Booth because I've got to be honest I'm not ready to be hurt again I've not made it past the previous engagements but hopefully one day soon we'll get there but you know we're not skipping we are not skipping seeing the lady in the topiaries and I love these topiaries so much because ladies ears continue to grow as the festival continues and they just become longer and more bushy and it's so cute but we are headed into the American Adventure where we get some more [Applause] treats the band tonight is like a '90s R&B cover band and they're bumping some Boys to Men Mar carry right now and I'm having a very hard time focusing on anything but how good they are uh anyway we stopped by the joffre C here in the American Adventure to pick up two more of the joffre's flower and garden special beverages this is the tropical frosted IC tea it is minute made frozen lemonade iced tea Hawaiian island syrup I don't know what that is and it's garnished with an ore I chose to make this one spirited which you can do with Gray Goose vodka this one is an manual passholder exclusive you can get it at any of the world showcase jaw freeze carts it is a BPL which is a blueberry pie latte I came up with that joke all on my own Allan did not say that first uh-huh anyway again passholder exclusive it is espresso milk and then it's blueberry and white chocolate syrups I chose to get it iced you can get any of them spirited but this one's just a coffee satchel third time's a charm there it [Music] [Applause] is this one is definitely sweeter than the one I had over by Mission Space the blueberry syrup is a little artificial tasting for my preference so I probably would ask them to go lighter on that um but the coffee at jwre is so good like genuinely I love the flavor of their actual coffee and I love that even in these ber flavored lattes it shines through this one just a little too sweet for my black coffee drinking palette Jared's crushing it on the [Music] [Applause] sacks okay if an Arnold Palmer and Hawaiian Punch had a beautiful baby it would be this plus vodka it it's not super duper sweet it mostly tastes like the lemonade and iced tea which again again is an Arnold Palmer the syrup isn't really shining through you can definitely taste that there's Vodka it's light it's refreshing yes y'all this band is crushing the game right now and what better time to talk about the garden Rocks concert series so much like at food and wine with the e to the beat concert series a variety of musicians comes in to play free concerts here during flower and garden they typically play three times a night and there are artists ranging from a variety of cover bands to popular '90s hits like Sister Hazel you got the plain white te's coming country fans jod ms's on her way this is a really fun way to add in some entertainment and just enjoy yourself while you're at the festival now if there's an artist you're super duper excited about seeing you can get in line really early but there's also dining packages you can book dining packages in advance to get reserve seating for the shows at restaurants like spice Road table lelia coral reef and the Beer Garden or there there is a walk up only first come first serve dining package that's a little bit less expensive at Regal Eagle barbecue so if there's a band you're dying to see I definitely recommend looking into one of those but I love live music I love that they do this and I love that they've expanded the live entertainment and the concerts from just eat to the beat swung by Magnolia Terrace but not before stopping and looking at the absolutely stunning Tiana topiary all those twinkling legs in the background it really does give it a magical feel but you know what else looks magical this food but specifically the bananas foster bread pudding and the beer flight doesn't look too bad as well so I have picked up the bananas foster bread pudding all of those words I love so I can't wait to enjoy this so let's get a little bit of banana some of the bread pudding as well this is a interesting serving of it I'm used to a bread pudding in a little bit more of like a casserole style but that's just a sort of Deep South thing now for me [Music] so the bread pudding's banana bread I love banana bread this is a sweet dish but it's mostly like a caramel sweet so it's a little bit roasted there's a little bit of that depth of flavor from the caramel to it the banana adds a light fru this goes on my best of the Fest just because it's hitting some like really weird Nostalgia for me this is good caramel delicious bananas still warm banana bread still warm through what a great combo all right we're getting into this beer flight which is the urban artifact Cappy snacks fruit punch fruit [Applause] ale long name yeah big mouthful of a name there they're from Cincinnati Ohio then you've got the Schneider Weiss love beer Weiss beer Schneider Weiss love beer Weiss beer twice the Weiss twice the beer it's from kelheim Germany and then the parish Brewing Company ghost in the machine double IPA from brousard Louisiana I'm going to do the Weiss beer cuz I love wheat beers I'm going to do the IPA reasons yeah the IPA has been around they've had that at the festival before but the other two are new additions hence the flight try a little of everything Cheers [Music] Cheers oh yes you're up first champ I'm gonna enjoy this this is really nice sometimes wheat beers which is Weiss beers are a little bit too heavy for me even though they're my favorite kind of beer and by heavy I just mean it's a lot to drink while you're walking around a hot Epcot day this has the flavor of a Weiss beer which is kind of fruity almost banana e but it's still very light and weedy I'm I'm into this one this is a Dippa it's a Dippa but it's also hazy it's unfiltered a lot of really good characteristics of a very strong IPA I can't wait to taste that one based upon the face making um Pine forward Citrus on the back end this is a slow sipping beer if you added some of the um that's that one all the before we've said if you don't like ipas try this one not this one this one tastes like an IPA I need fruit that is it tastes like a fruit snack a warhead a gusher and a beer walked into a bar started a beautiful friendship and they thought let's hug group hug and when they did that this was the result and that dear children is how all beers are made through group hugs this beer flight is a little all over the place if you are looking to try a lot of very different and um what's the word Niche types of beer give this a shot you'll probably like at least one of these but I mean I enjoy it at least two out of these and with that dear friends we are going to put day one of the festival in the books I think it was pretty successful day very successful first day of the festival but it's getting a little too dark to successfully film anything else so we will see you tomorrow for some more flowers and food and fun it'll be just a few moments for you though good night night did that work maybe [Laughter] here good morning it's :00 when you're a degenerate it's morning welcome back man fam to day two of the flower and garden festival we are back at Epcot today to check out the rest of the topiaries and the outdoor kitchen so come on let's go look at some plants let's go starting today on the world nature side of the park to check out the top areas that we missed here yesterday and go see the butterfly garden first up The Lion King this is one of my favorite topiaries every year because this is my favorite Disney animated film and I just love Rafiki holding up Simba right there and then you've got Mufasa and Sarabi and I'm always amazed by Mufasa's voluptuous man it is glorious it is so glorious I don't know what plant that is I'm sure my mom would whenever she's here she'll tell me or someone in the comments let me know actually I'll just text her and finishing up The Lion King section not too far away you've also got Timone and Pumba they're just so cute like look at the little pink plant that's on Pumba the Moss I just horiculture team you're Wizards and before we go to see any other toi areas let's check out the butterfly Landing the little butterfly garden area now please note as we step inside oh so many butterflies that this section does close before the park closes so be sure to check the app to find out when this actually closes but for now let's just enjoy these beautiful plants and see if Molly who so desperately wants this can get a butterfly to land on her hand not a Disney Prin butterfly Landing has been to educate you on the life cycle of a butterfly starting when they are a caterpillar into when they enter a cocoon like we see here to when they finally emerge from said cocoon into the beautiful butterflies the beautiful butterflies that they are you will also find instructions on how to plant your own butterfly garden if you would like to do so and along with a list of plants to plant if you would like to encourage caterpillars to come their growth and maturation into butterflies as well it's just so absolutely incredible to see all of these different butterflies is flying around the space it's just such a nice quiet area it's really peaceful in here I enjoy this a lot after having a nice relaxing time with the butterflies we are now checking out the Woody Bow Peep and in my opinion the best and most hilarious part of this entire topiary the three sheep look at them their names are billy goat and Gruff Billy Goat Gruff and they are connected as one so they travel as a unit always these are just so cool to see look at all the succulents on B Peep's dress but also don't look directly into her eyes oh no that's where your soul goes she she will take your soul yeah yeah it goes away all right it is time to continue eating ready for our first feeding of the day so real quick we're just going to aerate wrong Park do where we left off in World Showcase yesterday we made it drinks you want me a soda no no no no no not a soda no no no no no no soda give me a beer okay I can do that um also aerating is much slower and sweatier than I thought it would be so much sweatier anyway Let's uh we picked up back here at American Adventure yesterday we stopped with magnalia Terrace next to the beautiful Tiana topiary and now let's continue on with the rest of World Showcase but not finnal cake fun yeah now to be fair I do like strawberry shortcake this one does appeal to me but it's $12 for a mini funnel cake and we're on a budget so skiping that one instead we are headed to Japan for our next feeding I guess it's our first feeding of the second day but still the next feeding time is weird it's a soup but before we make it to the booth to order look how cool this dragon is with the succulence and the Tory gate and view of spaceship earth a plus topiary and from Hanami we have picked up fi as is our want it's also Molly favorite from that booth and the ramen cup the ramen cup is ramen salad shaken in a cup as seen here with fresh vegetables grilled chicken and Dy broth with chili oil and Yuzu shake shake shake shake shake shake sh sh I wonder how much is too much here we go I don't want to miss out on this here this is an interesting setup I've actually never seen this presented this way before I'm oh I'm eager to try this isn't going to be pretty cheers so while we're here in the US I apologize for slurping but in Japan it's a sign that it is a it's a compliment to the chef and Compliments are are needed noodles cooked beautifully the sauce very sesame oil florid so if you're not a fan of that flavor you're probably not going to like this I for one love it chili oil is present but not super powerful there's just a little bit of spice and zing on the back end but nothing even registering on the radar just there for a little bit of extra flavor the chicken oh wow cooked and seasoned really well this might end up on my best of the Fest this is really good I'm really enjoying this this is a a nice serving size of a dish that I really enjoy a lot of great well spice flavors I'm fan and here is one of my favorite things every year at flower and garden the legendary frie which is fruit sushi so you've got some strawberry pineapple and lye with coconut rice wrapped in a pink soy wrapper and then it's paired with a housemade raspberry sauce and housemade whipped cream and some toasted coconuts on top oh I'm so excited this one's got a a lot of strawberry raspberry sauce dip Lis [Music] that goes on my best of the Fest every year cuz I just think it is such a perfect sweet treat because it's simple flavors fresh fruit toasted coconut housemade whipped cream and then you've got it in a very fun presentation so I think it's just a perfect dish cuz it's cute and delicious and like I look forward to eating it every year swung by the absolutely stunning Morocco Pavilion and popped into Tangerine Cafe which had a new item really excited to try this one it is the Mediterranean flatbread it's got Trula roasted vegetables artichoke olives and feta cheese and I'm really jazzed about this because they removed one of my favorite menu items over from honey beastro which is the flatbread so I'm hoping this will fill that void it is now time for your friendly allergy PSA if you have a menu where you are worried about potentially having an item that you are allergic to listed or in the kitchen one I recommend checking the application for the allergy menu and the My Disney Experience app in the section where they have the whatever Festival you may be attending menus you can always look at the allg listed on that menu if you would like more Assurance please talk to the cast members when you are checking out or ordering your food items because they will call a chef and ask about your specific allergy with a chef on the phone in front of you that's what I did here because I have an allergy to pine nuts and often times in Mediterranean Cuisines pine nuts do appear so I asked we're all good to go with this and I'm excited to dig in also it took like 30 seconds it's not going to take long time it's real quick all right I'm very excited about this because in previous Festival Tangerine Cafe has done like a trio of dips and Trula has been my favorite so here we go oh yeah yeah that's kill her mhm so chamula is what they're using instead of like pizza sauce which is a spread similar to chimmy Cherry if you're familiar with that often used in like rocking Turkish U Cuisines it's very simple there's saffron in it olive oil some pepper a little bit of coriander and it is fantastic it is it is Herby and delicious not spicy this is a very bright dish a little acidic you can taste the saltiness from the black olives which I've come to love and I think I think this is just a really really solid good portion sized dish I think good well priced good portion size I love the roasted red peppers on there the Nutty feta cheese I wish it was cooked a little bit longer the crust isn't quite holding up to all the toppings but overall a really good dish up next we are well we're skipping East lafresca because last year we did try the tche cake but there are other plant-based options that we want to give a go this year but what we are not skipping because it would truly be a crime is seeing Kermit and Miss Piggy their topiaries are amazing we have made it to France where I waited in the longest line I've waited in yet besides maybe Germany those have been the two most popular boots we've seen and uh speaking of popular look at these adorable characters from one of Disney's most popular films beating the Beast you've got lumere and cogsworth right here and cogsworth actually like Chimes and at night Lumi air lights up and then Over Yonder a little bit you've also got Bell and the Beast these are stunning topiaries absolutely love them and speaking of stunning look at this croissant full of cheese I've never seen anything more beautiful in my entire life also duck up first from Flor Le is the pom de la which is PED duck Ki with an orange sauce and garlic rosemary mashed potatoes and once again I would like to apologize for my pronunciation of the French language I'm trying I promise all right we dive we duck we Dodge here we go oh wow okay first of all the first thing I want to point out is the Rosemary mashed potatoes oh my gosh those delicious the Rosemary really does stand out there the duck is deep and rich in flavor it's a little gy the texture is a touch gritty but it's very very moist all the way through an enjoyable experience in my opinion uh the game changer though is that orange sauce light zest of orange not super sweet but Al together that is just an incredible pairing of flavors uh yeah this is this is very tasty and now it's time for what in the past has been a perfect food it is the oh gosh croissant alage Al Ro I'm sorry uh but that translates to a croissant with goat cheese herbs and roasted garlic which I'm very excited about and not sorry about Mom oh wow still going there you go oh my gosh smells like [Music] garlic I might fry H be still my cheese and carb loving heart oh my gosh imagine if you will a warm freshly made croissant buttery Flav flakey delicious shoved right in there a creamy mixture of goat cheese and roasted garlic and it punches you in the face with garlic which I love this is not only on my best of the Fest this is my best of the Fest I could eat 100 of these and if you two love cheese and bread you need to try this very quickly crossed the English Channel and have found ourselves in the United Kingdom Pavilion where one we saw Tinkerbell in her adorable fairy house uh topiary and two now we have found ourselves in the English Tea Garden to do a little tea tour tea tour a tea tour this is actually a very underrated little known thing you can do one they do have a guided tour two times a day they are first come first serve complimentary tours of the Tea Garden with a cast member or anybody can do the uh tea tour self-guided tour and all you have to do is ask the cast member for the map and then find these 12 T's and if you do that uh let them know and you make it a special surprise so we're going to go find them all we're going to take a picture of each one to prove it because we are nothing if not honest mhm our integrity is essential yep we completed the tea tour she stamped our map to prove that we did it and we each got a tea tea what flavor did you get chai chai I got uh a pure royos red tea herbal herbal as you might say well ryus so that's exciting it's a fun little activity that you can do and and get some new tea to try we've collected our tea and are now taking some time to just admire Winnie the Pooh Rabbit Tigger andore these topar oh yeah and piglet too that's correct piglet is freaking adorable I mean I love eore just I'm sad all the time that's my guy right there though I love yeah I just these topar look so nice I eor main anytime they do the hair sort of situation or like main I I just I'm my mind is blown stop by the next joffre cart the one in between the United Kingdom and Canada this is the Citrus frosted iced tea it is frozen lemonade iced tea and orange Tangerine syrup chose to make this one boozy by adding a little Gray Goose yka what about it and it take me it that is delightful that's somehow even better than the last iced tea I love that it's like an Arnold Palmer situation but I am a big fan of citrus so I love that little zest from the orange in there which kind of reminds me of like the Tangerine lacroy which is one of my favorite flavors and then you've got the vodka in there breaking up any sweetness that you might have very refreshing if you like an Arnold Palmer this is delightful heading into Canada but before we do stop by to take a look at Captain Hook confronting his traumas also known as Tik Tock Croc you know Peter Pan just being a little helper he's just helping Captain Hook work through his past traumas yeah what Peter Pan has done you see is he has said he it's it's just like a a form of immersion therapy he is bringing Tick Tock Croc to Captain Hook in order to try and help him overcome his fears the fears that he created by cutting off Captain Hook's hand and feeding it to Tik toac Croc uhhuh he's he was part of the problem now he's trying to be part of the solution I see really standup guy that Eternal child our next up was Northern Bloom but not before admiring Bambi flower and Thumper topiaries they're so freaking cute they're just little bab we little bbas but what we picked up was the beef tenderloin tips with the mushroom Borday sauce whipped potatoes and garden [Music] vegetables this is okay the Borday is really the shining star of this rich and hearty biry from the mushrooms mashed potatoes very light fluffy excellent mashed potato uh the disappointment in here is the beef tips I think they're seasoned really well they're just dry I think that's that's the main takeaway all the other toppings and the sides delicious very rich um just a bummer that the be a little bit dry Scoot and past refreshment port this is home to the traditional poutin that's here all the time as well as they have a special plantbased poutin which is part of the garden gra but we've already finished that and we are off to our next spot swirled showcase swirled showcase is kind of the new I guess permanent residence of this little it was a fake Starbucks for a while but for the last few festivals it's become swirled showcase which is home to soft serf Delights now swirled showcase is home to the peanut butter and grape jelly soft serve that was at refreshment port last year you can get those individually or swirled together and uh one of those flavors is delicious one of those flavors is terrible I'll let you guess which which one's which spoiler alert I would never eat grape again but we are here for a different dessert that looks very very cool and I'm excited to eat it all right friends this is the Liquid Nitro honey marscapone cheesecake with fresh honey granulated honey and a honey meat blueberry compost and I watched the chef make it and it's so cool she takes like a scoop of cheesecake filling puts it in liquid nitrogen and then it becomes hard enough for her to pick up and put on here and then she smashed it with a hammer like easma and put all the toppings on it so I'll smash it with a hammer wait or to save on postage oh it's like cheesecake filling I'm going to get some of the blueberry I'm Amazed by this a little bit it's like eating the middle part of Cheesecake so it's very light it's a little Tangy and then you got the fresh blueberries on there a little bit of added sweetness from the honey this is nice I really like this cuz I love cheesecake I think texturally it's going to throw some people off cuz it's this kind of smooth texture but then there's these like pockets of Mars Capone in there so if you don't like kind of creamy texture food you probably won't enjoy this um but if you want a nice very unique sharable dessert that's not super super de sweet this is lovely next up we stopped by the honey bee stro a booth all about bees and the honey they produce in fact all the dishes here have honey in them including what we picked up the chicken and waffles this is crispy chicken and a honey sweet cornbread waffle with whipped honey butter and spicy honey on top it's a lot of honey this is a sizable piece of chicken a top this waffle a little crosssection action there I'm going to get a little bit of a smaller bite I was too strong I Thanos snapped my chicken away mhm MH first of all kudos to the size of the chicken on the waffle Love a good portion size like that second of all the waffle little spicy you can very clearly taste the corn there are conks of corn in it very tasty um full of flavor on that one just peppery a little smoky and then the chicken itself fried beautifully crispy on the EG the chicken itself very moist has clearly been brined cuz it's still moist all the way through but what I love is the hot honey drizzle over top of it I would add more if I could but I also love spice there is a little bit of heat to it not a lot of not a lot of it just a little reminder that there is spice and chili in the honey this is such a nice dish I yeah this goes on my best to the fast and here we have the influencer in her prime H up amongst all passer by She carries with her a great and heavy load of beverages coming from one pineapple pranal look at her carefully weaving having exited into a grand opening she has found a clearing and in doing so finds freedom and then vle brings the beverages back without a single spill amazing the display of prowess whilst carrying Delights also what'd you get there's so much okay well the thing is I wanted the beer flight cuz all the beers there looks good but the Violet lemonade ale is not part of the beer flight and in my head we were like almost to our budget but not quite there so I was like this is either going to put us right under our like let's blow that budget out of the water or we're going to be right over but I'm pleased to say oh that we came in A110 under budget crushed it with these items well done Molly well job me also with The Walking you navigated that that that parist math and walking my strong suits from Pineapple prominade we have a plethora of beverages here's the aforementioned beer flight is a couple of tasty looking beers but it did not include the Violet lemonade ale which is a favorite of mine inspired by my love of the frozen dessert Violet lemonade which is a flower and garden staple every year here a non-alcoholic sweet treat so here is our final uh Booth well we have one more jaw fre but our final Booth towards the budget also all the flowers are from the uh living with the land a lot of the ingredients are a lot of the herbs and things that go on the dishes at flowering Garden are from the green houses so you can go see them but the the flowers had a little sign so I thought that was cool it's just such a delicious treat this is about the sweetest thing that I personally enjoy uh but it's got a nice floral note cuz of the Violet and then it tastes like a frozen lemonade so it's a little bit tart it'd be delicious with vodka um but it is it is so delicious it's a flowering Garden staple it's so beautiful as well also speaking of beautiful before we stopped over there we took a look at the giant flower bed that lines uh the water as you walk towards world's showcase and Goofy's over there blowing a dandelion and it's very cute but now I'm going to compare the non-alcoholic Frozen to the Beer oh my God oh my God that beer is so good it's very similar to the Shandy that we had in Citrus Blossom but it's got a little bit of floral notes as well it's not quite as tart that is a delightful refreshing beer and novel it fun too what's different about this picture if I stand I'm out frame I see so now you're like a like a child going to get you a booster seat um got to drink my beer give I'll get you your bottle um okay which one do you want to try first uh I'll try the hazy IPA I will try the tropical habiscus blonde ale lovely Cheers Cheers oh now this one is more Beery than some of the other um beers we've had that have had like a fruit or a floral note to it you can definitely taste the habiscus but it mostly tastes like a blonde if you have had the signature beer over at um volcano Bay at Universal it reminds me of that but less floral I like it as far as the pernicious IPA goes that is a textbook hazy IPA so wicked weed wicked wicked you wicked wicked man um super Pine forward followed by a little bit of citrus flavor I mean incredibly hoppy you definitely have the fruit though uh it's more towards the back end on that one pineapple or something something citrusy pineapple little bit of grapefruit that's kind of what I'm getting from this one standard hazy o the tropical he is my favorite you love heis I do love heisen wheat beers and this one because of the fruit it makes it a little bit lighter normally heis tastes very banany and this one definitely tastes more melany I would say but very delicious number one for me I think number two is the hazy and number three is the blonde I'm not getting the Hibiscus on the it's a little floral it's a very very back it's like a lroy flavoring amount a unicorn's eyelash of flavor um for me it's going to be the Wicked Weed hazy IPA followed by the he and then ending with the blonde a fun flight though I don't think as good overall as the Citrus Blossom flight that was my favorite flight we had that is in the whole festival that is a top tier flight I agree and our final stop the final joffre for the iced Berry chai latte this is iced chai tea blueberry syrup milk topped with whipped cream and cinnamon cheers it's very sweet and in its defense it's described as a berry sweet blend and it is very sweet which I do appreciate the punt but it's no surprise that as a a fan of not sweet drinks this is not something I would pick up I will say even though the blueberry syrup flavor is very strong you can still taste the chai tea and the spices from that um I would prefer to get this without the blueberry syrup and just get the ice chai so if you like sweet drinks I think you'd enjoy this but this just isn't for me and we are headed for our final stop here at the pineapple prominade where we will pick up the reward for completing the garden graze we've just picked up our Redemption for completing the garden Grays and it is lemon and mango dough Whip and we also got some wild flower mix so if you complete this you'll get some wine flour to planted home or to give to your mom like Molly is I'm going to give them to my mom who by the way told me Mufasa's man was probably made of coconut husks and that the Sheep were probably made of spider plants but she needs to check closer to be sure you also get this very cute little cup which is like hard plastic and reusable so cute little prize o that is so good it's nice and tart little bit of extra sweetness from the mango but mostly it tastes like limeade very very delicious I do like doing these crawls not only do I like getting a prize cuz I'm competitive uh but I like that I encourages you to try some food that maybe you wouldn't other wise if I'm being perfectly honest the garden graes is not my favorite of the foodie crawls that honor goes to of course the firmage Montage at Food and Wine cuz it's cheese based um and while I did like several things most importantly the corn uh I probably wouldn't eat a lot of the items on the garden graay again just cuz they're not something I would normally pick however I love that they're encouraging folks to try different plant-based items and if you're a plant-based eater or vegetarian I think you're going to love it and as I always say if you're already going to buy several of these items you might as well try the crawl out get yourself a free prize and uh and try try something new maybe you'll find a favorite and with that we have eaten our way around World Showcase and all of the flower and garden booths so without further Ado it's time for Allan and Molly's worst of the Fest and best of the Fest let's start with the worst slash probably wouldn't get a again listings here what's yours I hate to say it yeah I really do okay it hurts my soul I'm sorry the beef tips from Canada oh yeah I uh I'm just sort of disappointed just disappointed yeah I'm not mad I'm just disappointed I got to be honest I didn't have anything during our trip through FL Garden that was really bad yeah uh but there are a couple things that I would not get again and that's at the top of the list for me it's got to be the grape soft serve that's last year it doesn't matter it doesn't matter it wait a minute we're bringing in other years I I think it is easily the worst thing at this Festival it tastes like medicine and I just really didn't like it and nothing I ate this year even full year and you're not you've not recovered I don't know of anything I've ever eaten at a festival compares to how much I didn't like that my God so I think that I think that's easily the worst thing at this Festival if you make me pick something from this year it would be the strawberry rhubarb upside down cake not because of flavor but because of texture but boy I'm telling you that grape that grape jelly soft Sur swing over the fences it hurt me quick relocation because uh the wind I fear the wind yes but with that when decide block now do the corn maze here maze yes it's not a corn maze the maze maze you might as well have said corn corn anyway behind the maze here best of the Fest time for me my best of the Fest is as follows the Black Forest ham pretzel bread from Germany the ramen Bowl from Japan the chicken and waffles from the honey be stro the banana bread pudding found in in America and the Citrus beer flight from the Citrus Blossom Molly what's yours now mine is hard to narrow down cuz there are so many like longstanding favorites I have at this Festival that I have to get every year um so I tried to mix it up and add in some new things as well but these are some of my favorites I loved the tamale in Mexico of course shout out to Crab rangon in China fi in Japan the herb cheese croissant in France that's number one for forever and always in my heart The Violet lemonade both the ale and the slush from pineapple prominade cuz that feels like two things I that's fine and I'm picking an extra one uh shout out to the corn cuz I love the corn and the Maze if you will from Farmers Feast um I also really like that Black Forest ham thing I also liked that fruit punch beer I also really liked the duck like I don't think we ate anything really bad this year I think the food is very good this Festival was very Sol the shrimp in the orange like I really think either we picked really well or just the food's really good this year and Beyond the food there's just so much to see and do here at the flower and garden festival including the top areas what what was your favorite ooh that's hard you you want to know mine yeah I'm trying to decide so I love Dante as a part of the Coco setup that was one I was thinking it's just so cool with how the topiary itself like the marag golds are lifting him up I yeah broke my brain it's so simple it's it's not like a larger Grand topiary but it is so so beautiful it's beautiful I mean I guess I should say Buzz because he's my favorite character but I really love Snow White and the Seven DWS I think those ones are so beautiful and also how can you not love the new baby Groot one also The Lion King one I I love them all this is my favorite time of year at Epcot it's just so beautiful everywhere you look there's flowers everywhere oh the lady in the one is really good this enconto like I just love the mall I just love being at Epcot this time of year cuz this already beautiful Park is somehow even more beautiful and alive with so much color I just love it this time of year asks for favorite topiary gets all topiaries get all of them except for that one it's it's definitely not the B it does stare into your soul but I like the Sheep another fun thing we've done at the festival is grab a couple magic shots with some of the photo pass photographers they are really fun so if you want to grab those make sure you talk to photo pass and the last thing we have to enjoy at this Festival is the light show on spaceship earth they do these light shows every couple minutes on spaceship earth where they do different lights and music and they have a couple that they rotate through normally but they add a special one in for the festivals and it's Colors of the Wind during flowering Garden they also do Isabella song what else can I do from Encanto which is beautiful in front of spatial birth but it's even more beautiful if you stand in the gardens with the new light fixtures in the ground absolutely stunning make sure you watch that when you're [Music] here [Music] [Applause] right well that is a wrap on the flower and garden festival
