The full menus for outdoor kitchens at the 2022 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival were released this morning, and preparation has begun for the festival at EPCOT. Outdoor kitchens are being prepared and new topiaries are blooming.

After the end of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts yesterday, many of the booths have new signs that say “coming soon.”

Northern Bloom is outside the Canada Pavilion.

We saw the Cider House booth appear last week.

Fleur De Lys will be in the France Pavilion.

“Encanto” decorations have been removed from the Vibrante & Vívido booth as it becomes La Isla Fresca, but signs related to “Encanto” remain.

At the Japan Pavilion is Hanami.

At The American Adventure is Magnolia Terrace.

In the Italy Pavilion is Primavera Kitchen.

Lotus House is at the China Pavilion.

Bauernmarkt: Farmer’s Market is in the Germany Pavilion.

EPCOT Farmers Feast is near Test Track.

No menu boards are available in the park yet.

The Donut Box has been shuttered before it gets a new menu.

This Festival Market has new EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival posters outside.

One features a collection of vegetables and flowers.

The other poster features Spike the Bee.

Trowel & Trellis Hosted by Impossible is near Disney Traders.

Flavor Full Kitchen is near the Imagination! Pavilion.

Pineapple Promenade is near Port of Entry.

Citrus Blossom is across from Pineapple Promenade.

And of course the Honey Bee-stro will be back.

Topiaries of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Huey, Dewey, and Louie can now be seen at the center of the park.

They are joined by sunflower topiaries.

Donald and his nephews carry gardening equipment.

At the beginning of World Showcase is Sorcerer Mickey and other “Fantasia” characters.

The dancing ostriches are lined up on one side.

Giant flowers are behind the characters.

The hippo and alligator are dancing on the other side of Mickey.

Mickey is surrounded by figures of the broomsticks, all collecting plants in their water buckets.

There are also giant flowers on either side of the World Showcase promenade.

In the Germany Pavilion, we found Miss Piggy and Kermit.

Miss Piggy sits on a pink case, with a pile of pink and purple bags next to her.

Kermit is riding his bicycle.

Lady and the Tramp are front and center in the Italy Pavilion.

They sit on the courtyard stage, with several pots and planters of red and pink flowers in front of them.

Moroe flowers are behind them.

More canopy strips have been installed above TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom since we checked in yesterday.

From the ground, we could see that the majority of the coaster visible from Tomorrowland is now covered with white canopy strips.

Several crew members were in cherry pickers and walking on the framework to secure the canopy.

Ropes hang across the canopy strips that have just been installed.

The crew members in a cherry picker had some long pole pieces with them.

Some of the vertebrae pieces on the edge of the canopy framework are covered with teal poles, likely to protect both the crew members and the canopy.

More covered vertebrae pieces are visible past the Tomorrowland Speedway.

The two canopy pieces installed since yesterday were not yet pulled as taut as the previously installed pieces.

As we rode the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, we saw workers using the large pole pieces that were in the cherry picker.

On the ground, a second walkway is being constructed under the first. Wood planks have been installed in the ground.

Following excavation for the second walkway, there is now a pile of dirt sitting near Space Mountain.

The wall near the coaster is being painted or covered in white paneling.

Here’s what the underside of the canopy looks like, visible from Storybook Circus.

There is no current opening date for TRON Lightcycle / Run.
