Hi, Rachel!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Thanks so much for your kind words - we Moms love when Guests like you send us questions and are repeat visitors to the Panel!
Spring has finally arrived and that means it's time for imaginative topiary displays, HGTV designer tips, fresh garden-inspired cuisine and some live rockin' "flower power" tunes! I'm also going to be at the
Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival in May and I can hardly wait! This year's Festival is greatly enhanced by the expanded Garden Marketplace kiosks located around World Showcase. Click on the link I provided to download the official
Festival Guide for more details.
I have great news for you: the kiosks do indeed accept the Disney Dining Plan! There are many delicious small plates and non-alcoholic beverages that are considered "snack credits" on the Dining Plan. You can visit the Garden Marketplaces and easily make an entire meal out of sampling the various selections! The best part is that it's a great value because you will only be using your snack entitlements! The menu boards displayed at each of the kiosks will have the Disney Dining Plan square purple and white logo listed next to all the selections that are included in the Dining Plan.
If you'd like to get a head start on planning your route through the kiosks in World Showcase, I suggest visiting the independent website AllEars.Net. On the home page, click on the 2013 Flower and Garden Festival section and then on "Garden Marketplaces Menus" in the left column where you'll find the complete menus with the Disney Dining Plan choices.
Wishing you a
magical visit to the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival, Rachel!
