Hi Sarah and welcome to planDisney!
Living in the Sunshine State and being a
Walt Disney World Passholder is so wonderful! I love having the flexibility to visit the parks as often as possible and my kids never pass up the chance to visit with Mickey and friends. How exciting that your next visit is coming up so soon. May is such a lovely time to visit the parks.
The festivals at EPCOT are my favorite reason to visit the park. While being a Floridian and an annual passholder give us lots of perks, unfortunately the discount does not apply to the
Outdoor Kitchens at the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival or any food booths at the various festivals at EPCOT, but we do get discounts on the festival and park merchandise and select
Table Service Restaurants. My favorite offering this year is the croissant with goat cheese, herbs, and roasted garlic from the Fleur de Lys booth in the France Pavilion. It's especially nice paired with the La Vie en Rose Frozen Slush from the same booth.
One of my favorite things to do at the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is to find my favorite
character topiaries and take a picture with them from year to year. My daughter's favorite is Snow White located in Germany and my son loves the The Three Caballeros located near Mexico. My kids also love participating in the festival scavenger hunts every year and they had a lot of fun with Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration Scavenger Hunt a few weeks ago. Sometimes Spike can be tricky to find, but we managed to find him and fill in all of the sticker spaces.
Please stop back by and visit if you have any additional vacation planning questions and I hope you have a fantastic trip next week!
