Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – Florida Fresh Watermelon Salad

We had originally said that we weren’t interested in any of the food at the Florida Fresh Outdoor Kitchen, however, on a recent Sunday’s visit to Epcot, we found ourselves craving “salad”… So, watermelon salad, here we come!

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014 – Taste of Marrakesh Lamb Brewat Roll

We only tried one item from Taste of Marrakesh at last year’s Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival (spiced lamb kebab with vegetable couscous salad), it was pretty pitiful and disappointing because we typically LOVE lamb. We were so disappointed, that we just didn’t even try the booth during the Epcot International Food & Wine

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014 – Lotus House Spring Pancake

Last year, we had the Spring Pancake twice… the first time, it was pretty “sorry” – the second time, it was improved.

Spring Pancake from Lotus House 2014 (with a side dabble of Srircha Sauce)

So far in 2014, our reviews on this item are mixed…

the pancake wasn’t greasy as it had

2014 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival – Outdoor Kitchens and our plans for this year

Last year, we tried to eat everything from the outdoor kitchens during the Flower and Garden Festival (link to our FlipBoard magazine, Adults Extra Walt Disney World Magic – Flower & Garden 2013) – we didn’t “succeed” because there were some booths that we just didn’t want to eat at…

Sorry folks, this year is

Mexico Pavilion Orchids – Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014

The orchids in this pavilion are always gorgeous; before the outdoor kitchens became part of Flower & Garden, they were most evident along the main walkway around World Showcase. The day we were taking these photos, people kept stopping and wondering what we were staring at up high in the trees … Orchids of course.

Epcot Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – less than a week away

There are topiaries all over the place and one of my favorites, the orchid display in Mexico, is back! Took some photos today (it was a bit grey and dreary) with my iPhone (please forgive the quality, Nick has some better ones coming in the future)…

Future World Topiary at 2013 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival

I have been remiss in doing any photo blogs in quite a while. So today I thought it was time to clean out my file and share a few.

If you visit the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival every year, you soon realize that much of the topiary is reused year after year. There is

Lotus House – 2013 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival

Lotus House

The Lotus House is located directly across from Nine Dragons. Although we saw lots of people stopping to look at the menu board, we rarely saw anyone purchasing and consuming anything from this booth (much like all the other booths). We managed to get a table that was at least partially

Hanami – 2013 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival

Hanami

Hanami (means “cherry blossom”, very appropriate for a spring flower and garden festival don’t you think?) is located across from the Mituskoshi store in the Japan pavilion. We had stopped earlier in the festival and tried the Chirashi, we liked it quite a bit. There are few standing tables to the left
