There’s one booth at EPCOT’s 2024 Flower & Garden Festival that you might visit even if you aren’t going to buy anything off the menu.

Pineapple Promenade Outdoor Kitchen 2023

We’re talking about the Pineapple Promenade booth — one of the Outdoor Kitchens (also known as Food Booths) at the park’s springtime celebration! Stop here while enjoying the Festival’s famous Disney topiaries, garden displays, and entertainment. Join us as we review Pineapple Promenade to see if it lives up to its reputation as a deserving fan-favorite booth once again this year!

Menu

At Pineapple Promenade, many items are returning, but this year also brings us 2 new beers. We can’t wait to dig into the Spicy Hot Dog and DOLE Whip (yes, we’re wiping some drool off as we write this). There’s also a good selection of beers here, including a Beer Flight.

This booth is full of new items, and we can’t wait to dig in!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the Spicy Hot Dog with pineapple chutney and plantain chips.   We’ve had this before. The sweetness from the pineapple chutney goes really well with that spicy hot dog, and the plantain chips add a great crunch! You can grab this tasty dish for $8. So, is the third year the charm here?

Spicy Hot Dog

This bad boy is SPICY. Like, we love spicy food. And this. is. SPICY. We really like the plantain chips that are on the top of this dish, as well as the tang of the pineapple. It makes for some fun texture! However, get ready for a slow burn kind of heat when you try this one.

Next up, we grabbed the other returning item at this booth, a classic Disney treat, the DOLE Whip. This is a classic pineapple DOLE Whip, which needs no introduction. It’s just like the ones you’ll find at Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom — fruity, creamy, and delicious. You can’t go wrong.

DOLE Whip

Grab the DOLE Whip for $6.50.

Pineapple Promenade is the completer booth for the Garden Graze. The Garden Graze is a food stroll around the festival. You can pick up a Festival Passport at the front of the park and find instructions inside. There are eleven plant-based eats on the list of qualifying snacks, and you must purchase five of them to complete the stroll. Make sure to get your Passport stamped each time you buy one of the snacks! Once you’ve collected five stamps, you can head to the Pineapple Promenade booth to pick up a free treat as a prize. This year’s prize is a DOLE Whip treat in a collector’s cup with a pack of seeds!

The prize!

And to go along with your dishes…

Drinks

In terms of drinks on this menu, we’ve got a lot of returning favorites and a few new beers to test out!

We’re starting out with a Beer FlightWhy just try one beer when you can try three? The Copperpoint Brewing Co. Tropical Hibiscus Blonde Ale and the Wicked Weed Brewing Perni Haze Hazy IPA are new beer options this year. And returning for a repeat appearance this year is the 3 Daughters Brewing Tropical Hefe.

Flight

You can grab this flight for $10.25.

Pineapple Beer Flight

The Tropical Hefe wasn’t our favorite. It was more of a pale ale and reminded us of champagne.

The Tropical Hibiscus Blonde Ale has an interesting color, but it does have that typical “pale ale” flavor just as the first one did.

As for the Hazy IPA, it was a bit stronger and tasted more like a stout beer rather than an IPA. It was hefty, if that makes sense!

Next up, we’re getting the DOLE Whip with Fanta!

DOLE Whip with Fanta

This is a non-alcoholic treat that just might be what you’re looking for on a warm Spring day. You can grab it for $6.75. If you love Pineapple, you will LOVE this. We found it to be extra refreshing since you can eat it with a spoon AND sip it with a straw if you wish.

After that refreshing beauty, we’re gonna sip on its boozy big sister, the DOLE Whip with Sōmrus Mango Cream Liqueur.

Another returning treat that we’re happy to taste again to see if it still delivers, you know, for y’all! We do this all for y’all! You can grab it for $12.50. This makes for a super thick beverage, and it tends to separate and get a bit chunky after a while. We recommend eating it with a straw for that reason! We do love the slight Mango flavor and think it makes for an interesting treat.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be the Flower and Garden Festival without the Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade!

Violet Lemonade

You can get it for $4.75. We’ve had this drink before and thought that it wasn’t too sweet but was still very flavorful with slight floral notes. It was just as delicious this year, and we will certainly be coming back to enjoy this throughout the festival! You also can’t deny it’s stunning (and very Instagrammable!). The only downside is that it melts SO FAST.

OVERALL

Overall, this booth’s food options might not be for everyone with that spicy hot dog. However, it does have plenty of great options if you’re looking for a sweet, refreshing snack. Of course, we love the Violet Lemonade and the DOLE Whips.

Full Spread at Pineapple Promenade

This makes the booth ideal for perhaps those who are looking for something for the grown ups as well as something for the kids. We’d recommend this booth to anyone who’s looking for a refreshing bevi, and anyone who LOVES hot dogs, some spice, and twists on classic DOLE Whips.
