2 Things We ALWAYS Bring to EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival
Are you ready to upgrade your EPCOT festival experience?
2023 Flower & Garden Festival is right around the corner
The 2023 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is on its way and if you’re planning on enjoying the festivities, we have a few tricks up our sleeves we want to share with you!
This year’s festival will take place from March 1st through July 5th and will be filled with fun activities, tasty food booths, and plenty of entertainment to enjoy. When it comes to festivals we’re old hats, so we’ve learned a few things over the years that can help you have a better experience in the park! These are two things we never go without when headed into EPCOT for a festival, and if you’re big foodies like us you’ll want to bring them too.
2022 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
The first item we highly recommend bringing with you is a tray. You may feel silly walking into the parks with one, but trust us, you’ll not only be grateful for it but you’ll also be the envy of all the other guests. If you’ve been to an EPCOT festival before you may have noticed there is pretty limited seating around the park. Most of the food booths are outside, and with so many guests eager to try out the offerings the few tables and seats get claimed fairly quickly.
You may be able to snag a table if you’re lucky, buy it’s better to come prepared
A tray not only gives you a surface to eat from, but it also makes it much easier to carry all of your purchases! You may want to grab a few dishes and drinks from more than one booth and eat them at once, and a tray makes it so much easier to tote each item. This also helps if you are willing to walk a bit further to see if you can find a free seat.
Don’t miss out on any tasty dishes!
You don’t have to spend a fortune either. You can get a single cafeteria tray on Amazon for just $4.99! Carry it in to the parks or slip it into your backpack for easy toting. The washable plastic makes for easy clean-up too!

Our second food-related item comes in handy when your day is done. With the wide variety of booths you might want to try more than you can reasonably enjoy in a single day, and if you only have one day to spend in EPCOT it can be hard to decide which dishes to enjoy and which to pass by.
Sometimes our eyes are bigger than our stomachs
Also, sometimes you order more than you can handle and just have to put the fork down (no matter how delicious it is!). Instead of throwing it away, save your food by bringing plastic food storage containers! These are perfectly fine to bring in to the parks as long as they aren’t made of glass. Once you’ve had your fill, just store your leftovers in the containers you brought. Just keep in mind that you won’t have any refrigeration options inside the park, so either wait until the end of the day to take food back to your hotel or make sure you bring an insulated bag and some ice packs to keep food fresh.
Sweet, sweet frushi
We like this set from Ziploc that comes with 12 containers of varying sizes, including small ones perfect for sauces! They’re also microwave safe so you can reheat your food. Now you’ve got a snack for later! That can come in handy for midnight snacking if you’re staying in a Disney resort, where most dining locations only stay open until 11PM at the latest. This set of containers and lids is available for $11.02.
