It won’t be long before the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival begins to wow guests with its amazing array of incredible blooms, magical topiaries, dance-worthy concerts, fun-filled workshops and of course delicious food! This week, Disney released details of the amazing treats that will be served up at fest’s outdoor kitchens and we here at Disney Addicts have already set our sites on several menu items that we can’t wait to tuck in to. To give you a taste of the amazing treats that will be on offer here are 8 dishes we thought worth highlighting.

1. Local Wildflower Honey -Mascarpone Cheesecake with Orange Blossom Honey Ice Cream garnished with Fennel Pollen Meringue Kisses – A new booth for this year is the Honey Bee-stro Hosted By The National Honey Board and already their menu seems pretty buzz-worthy! We know where we’ll be heading first during our visit this Spring!

2. Potato Pancakes – This classic treat being served up at Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market is one of our Flower and Garden dining staples. You can get them doused with homemade applesauce or with carmelized hame, onions and herb sour cream which is our favorite!

3. Cider – When strolling around Epcot looking at the amazing topiaries, nothing hits the spot like a nice cool glass of cider and you’ll find some pretty impressive varieties at the Cider House. This year’s offerings include:

McKenzie’s Black Cherry Hard Cider, West Seneca, NY

5. Frushi: Head on over to the Hanami booth at the Japan Pavilion to sample this delicious treat that consists of fresh pineapple, strawberry and melon rolled with coconut rice, sprinkled with toasted coconut and a raspberry sauce on the side. Its also perfect for vegetarians!

6. Seared Scallops – The Northern Bloom features some pretty impressive Canadian dishes. The scallops are one of our favorite treats from last year and come with French green beans, butter potatoes, brown butter vinaigrette and Apple-Wood Smoked Bacon. It is also a great option for those on a Gluten Free diet.
