Disney4me Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 It’s officially spring, and Epcot is hoppin’ as the 2019 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival continues! But that’s not the only thing going on in this changing park… We checked out all of the construction, found some new merchandise, spotted some new food, and even more along the way! Hello from Epcot! We’ll start this week’s visit out in World Showcase where there are two Flower and Garden Festival updates. What’s New in Epcot’s World Showcase Remember the Orange Bird sipper cup that was insanely popular at the Flower and Garden Festival’s Citrus Blossom Outdoor Kitchen? Well, this cutie has been sold out, and the menu has been updated to reflect that. We checked with some Cast Members, and they have not been told when the Orange Bird Sipper Cup will be back in stock. Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Citrus Blossom Outdoor Kitchen — Where are you Orange Bird Sipper? We’ll keep you posted! Orange Blossom Wine Slushy in Orange Bird Staying with the Flower and Garden Festival, this the first time we have seen the line being temporarily closed for the Artisanal Cotton Candy at the Lotus House Outdoor Kitchen in the China Pavilion. In speaking with a Cast Member we learned that the lines are getting as long as 90 minutes on some days!

We do not know, and no announcements have been made, about the construction at the International Gateway entrance.
