We are SO excited to head to EPCOT today.
EPCOT Flower and Garden!
Why? Because we get to head to EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! But, before we dive headfirst into the fest, we want to bring you an update on alllll the news we spotted pre-fest in EPCOT yesterday. Let’s take a look at the latest in food, construction, and merchandise.
EPCOT Food Updates
Fife and Drum Tavern
Over at Fife and Drum Tavern in The American Adventure Pavilion, we spotted a brand-new Soul-inspired treat! Take a look at the Half Note Float, named for the Half Note Jazz Club, of course.
We’re seriously loving how colorful this is.
This float is layered strawberry Fanta, lemonade, blue raspberry Fanta slushy, and vanilla ice cream, topped with white chocolate artwork from Soul! Head on over to EPCOT to give it a try for $6.25.

Morocco Snack Cart
Recently, we noticed that the Morocco Snack Cart was selling baggies of nuts. Now, the snacks come in a new plastic container instead of a little bag.
