Disney4me Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 It’s an exciting time, as we count down the days until the 2015 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival gets underway!Of course, around here, we’re most interested in the Outdoor Kitchens! We’re so excited to see the return of these kiosks stationed around World Showcase.2015 will mark the third consecutive year that guests of the Festival can enjoy sips and tapas-sized dishes, themed to celebrate the bounty of the garden.And while we’re still awaiting the full menus, we do have some news regarding some of the new dishes that will debut at this year’s festival.Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Outdoor KitchensFirst off, let’s discuss which Outdoor Kitchens you can expect to see this year. While we haven’t heard word which Kitchen from 2014 won’t return, we know that Botanas Botánico will debut. Check out this post about Botanas Botánico to learn more about its menu.Fleur de Lys in the France Pavilion ReturnsThat means we anticipate at least one 2014 Kitchen will be absent, as we expect there to be 11 kitchens.So far, we know the following will return:Fleur de Lys in the France PavilionTaste of Marrakesh in the Morocco PavilionHanami in the Japan PavilionThe Smokehouse: Barbecue and Brews Outdoor Kitchen in the America PavilionPrimavera Kitchen in the Italy PavilionLotus House in the China PavilionJardin de Fiestas in the Mexico PavilionFlorida FreshPineapple PromenadeUrban Farm EatsDoes that mean that the Buttercup Cottage in the UK Pavilion gets the axe this year?
