  • There's no way to do everything at the Flower and Garden Festival in just one day, so we made this complete guide to help you pick which things you want to make part of your festival day. We review ALL the food and give you a peek at the lovely gardens and amazing topiaries that are sprinkled throughout the park. We also cover the different scavenger hunts and the Garden Graze so you can decide if these extra activities are worth it for you and your group. Best of all, we share the beauty of Epcot when it is decked out with stunning floral displays and gardens. Let's go take a stroll around the 2024 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival!

We used all of your strategies this past week and literally rode everything we wanted and most of that before 5:00 pm. The tips about getting your foot in the door and playing the genie slots seriously change the game for this service. Thank you so much for helping us have a wonderful vacation with 2 littles. I have already been recommending your videos to anyone asking for help with the genie!

      Hi Jonny! Yes, we will definitely be doing some new Genie videos, but we’ve been dragging our feet a bit because Disney is expected to make some changes to the system soon. At least they have hinted that they will. We’ve been trying to avoid remaking them and then they are immediately out-of-date. 😅

    Hey Rob! Thanks for another great video! Flower & Garden is my favorite festival. Our upcoming trip is in early June so I’m disappointed that I’ll miss the festival this year. Any chance they may extend the dates out further for F&G? Last year it went thru early July I believe.

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  2 місяці тому

      Hi Amber! It’s odd that they shortened it. My guess is that it has something to do with the new festival center opening and getting it ready for its debut at Food & Wine, but that’s just a guess on my part. I doubt they will extend, though. Unfortunately. 😕

    I’m glad that you reviewed each Joffrey’s drink. So far, you’re the only one who has done that! Now I can’t wait to try the honey jasmine latte!
    Slight nitpick about the orange saffron blossom cake. The cake isn’t new, they had it at last year’s Flower and Garden festival. I tried it last year and it was delicious. I’m so glad that it’s still just as good!
    I want to do the tea garden tour. Is it free or do you have to pay a fee?

    Hi Rob, this really has nothing to do with this video which I’m sure I’ll love because March 30 to April 4 we’ll be battling Easter crowds in Disneyland.. I felt I had to mention that my daughter said she was inspired by a video you did at magic kingdom and really wants to ride the mark twain at sunset drinking a mint julep . She also says I have to say this in a southern accent?

    • @EarScouts
      @EarScouts  2 місяці тому +1

      😂🤣😂 - I agree, the southern accent is imperative. The tricky part will be coming up with the mint julep. Alcoholic beverages are hard to come by in Magic Kingdom and you aren’t allowed to bring whisky with you into the park. I’m wondering if you could get one at Diamond Horseshoe and then take it to go? I’ve never tried to get a to-go alcoholic beverage in MK, so I’m not sure if that’s allowed or not. I’ll try to remember to ask next time I’m there just in case you decide to try this out. It does sound like a lovely way to spend the afternoon! 🙂

So thanks for the inspiration!It’s a very special trip for us since she’ll has off from her school librarian job but both her college age kids had their breaks earlier in March. We’re making lemonade out of a lemon (or a mint julep out of a lime) and doing a five night , five day ticket visit to the happiest place on earth. This will be our first time back there together since she was In kindergarten! After the trip we’ll take a cross country train trip back to the east coast.
