The 2023 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival begins soon, bringing tons of eats and treats (including a bunch of NEW items) to Disney World. It turns out, you can’t visit this festival just one time!

We’ve already got the FULL MENUS for the food booths at this festival, and we’ve seen a sneak peek at the merchandise as well. In fact, the food booths and character topiaries are already popping up throughout EPCOT. But there’s one BIG reason why you’ll need to visit this EPCOT festival not once, not twice, but THREE times.

There are more than 15 Outdoor Kitchens (food booths) coming to EPCOT for the 2023 Flower & Garden Festival. One of the returning booths is the EPCOT Farmers Feast, which will be located near Test Track.

Farmer’s Feast

This food booth is unique because, instead of having one set menu for the whole festival like all the other booths, it has a rotating menu! That means there will be three DIFFERENT menus at Farmers Feast throughout the festival. Note that only the food options change — the drinks will remain the same the whole time.
