Hi Jessica!
A fellow Carolinian! We not only live in the same state, but we share the same passion: food! The
2017 S[ring Flower and Garden Festival is going to be amazing. This is such a spectacular even every year. Epcot is transformed with budding blooms and beautiful sculptures throughout the park. You will also find outdoor kitchens with a variety of delicious dishes from around the world. There is even music, GardenRocks, on the weekend, which means you can combine, food, friends, wine and music for a wonderful celebration.
Many of the tasting plates and food options throughout the World Showcase will take snack credits from the Disney Dining Plan. You will be able to see which items are included on the Disney Dining Plan (DDP) with the special purple "DDP" icon next to the items. You will see this next to the food items on the menu. I know that it's difficult to gauge this one year in advance, but be assured that in previous years many of the food items at the kiosks throughout the World Showcase accepted the DDP.
You can check out the
2016 Disney Dining Plan for more information on the plan for this year. You will see that you get one snack, one Quick Service and one Table Service per guest, per night of your stay.
I hope you have a magical vacation!
Magically,
Stacy
