 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Epcot for the International Flower and Garden Festival 2023. I plan on taking you around World Showcase, trying all the incredible food and letting you guys know what I think and then also checking out the beautiful topiaries that they added to this year's festival. So we're gonna eat some food, smell some flowers and have an amazing Epcot kind of day. Anyhoo's, let's go do this. Of course we have to start off the day by grabbing our passport so that we know what's new this year. And it looks like the festival is running from March 1st to July 5th. It's gonna be a long one, the wonders of nature or endless Walt Disney. There are tons of food boots this year and I'm gonna try to try something from each one of them. Some items are new and some are some returning favorites and I love flower and garden. In fact, I would have to say it's probably tied with fruit and wine for my favorite Epcot festival. Since it's 11 a.m. I thought it was appropriate that we start at Brunch Cod. They've got a little bit of everything and I love that name Brunch Cod. They've got avocado toast, shrimp and grits. They've got locks, Benedict, fried cinnamon roll bites, a fruit loop shake. And I think we're gonna try everything. The fruit loop shake actually changes color weekly so that's kind of fun. One of the best things about coming to a festival with a bunch of friends is you don't have to eat all the food. You know what I mean? We can order it all together, split it and also it's less expensive. So that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna order everything and then we're gonna let you know what our favorite item is. You know what I mean? I'll let you know which item I like the most. Here it is. Everything that they got at Brunch Cod. And I like the new name Brunch Cod. I think last year was Sunshine Season Grittles. Sunshine Season Grittles. Sally Shell She-Shells. They got the avocado toast over here with the toy box tomatoes and then the shrimp and grits. They only give you a three shrimp though. Three shrimp. There might be some hidden ones. Oh, they might have a hidden shrimp in there. Then that's the locks Benedict on everything focaccia. And that one, who's trying that? Who's eating that? I guess I might try it. You gotta try it. And then they've got the returning cinnamon roll bites with cream cheese frosting and candy bacon and a brew, a brew, a blue fruit loop shake. Look at that. A brew. Brushy shells. That is good. I do like this. This isn't new this year, but it's always something I do enjoy. It's a little warm. It's not very cold, but I like it. I think I'm gonna grab myself a shrimp. Grab some shrimp and grits here. I like the actual size of these shrimps. At least they're not the little baby shrimps. This is a good size. This is a nice, nice size shrimp. You know me. Can't turn down a good shrimp. Oh yeah. That is so good. Wow. I love this blackened shrimp. And then also they put brown gravy on there, which honestly I wasn't expecting brown gravy on my shrimp and grits today, but I'm kind of here for it. And now I think I'm gonna maybe dabble in some avocado toast. Look at this one. It's got a pretty little flower on it. Did you have the avocado toast already? Did you like it? It was very toasty. It actually has a little bit of spice. Really? Be careful. Oh lordy. Not the spice. I think it's just like paprika. Oh, okay. Paprika. I'm kind of excited for this avocado toast. It looks amazing, but I don't want to eat the flower on top, so I'm gonna try to eat around it. Oh, I ended up eating the flower. The avocado toast was actually really good. And now I think we're gonna jump right on over to the little cinnamon roll bites with the candied bacon. And I love these actually. These are our returning favorite. Oh boy. We are really starting off strong today. And these are so good. I am so excited for these. Oh yeah. There was a hidden shrimp. So that was four shrimp they give you. Oh, I knew it. You knew it. I have like very shrimp premonitions. You have shrimp intuition. Shrimp intuition. Shrimp intuition. So honestly, this is very adventurous for me. I'm not the biggest salmon fan, nor am I the biggest Hollandaise fan. And I decided to get this Locke's Benedict. And I think we're all gonna try it together. We are. We're gonna try to try it. I think it's gonna be interesting and fun. I like Locke's and I love poached eggs. Oh, so you're gonna love this. And I love Benedict sauce. Well then yeah, okay. All right. Do the Uzi part. Oh, you wanna do the Uzi part? Okay, let's go in. Promise is doing the honors of breaking us into this Benedict. There you go. Oh, that's beautiful. Oh yeah. Voila. Voila. I think I need the fruit milkshake. I need the milkshake back. I need this. I need a chaser. I need this. All right, ding it. Wait, you didn't sink it. There we go. Wait, we should have do it over the fruit milkshake. What if some... Oh, it went right in the fruit milkshake. Oh, yeah. Ding it. Cheers, guys. Yeah. Good. Good. Really good. Isn't it great? It mixes good with... No, no, it doesn't. No. The Hollandaise sauce and the egg yolks. Smoked salmon shake. It's actually really good. I think Nate's really enjoying it, too. Yeah, don't think it with the shake. Okay, so for someone that does like locks, what did you think? Did you like it? I thought it was really good. It had a nice smoked salmon flavor, smoky flavor from the salmon with the egg yolk and that Hollandaise sauce was really good as well. Hollandaise. You gotta be yolking me. You gotta be yolking. No one is just a yolking. All right, enough of the salmon business. I mean, I'm just not a big fan of salmon or Hollandaise sauce, but everything else was pretty good. The Froot Loops shake was good. I loved the avocado toast and the cinnamon rolls were probably my favorite, like the cinnamon roll with the candied bacon. Those were probably my favorite thing out of the whole brunch cot. Now it's time to move along and we made our way over to the farmer's feast. And this is actually a special booth because the menu changes throughout the festival. Right now, it's on the early bloom menu and they're serving up chilled potato and leek soup, the char grilled bison ribeye, which I think last year that was my favorite menu item. It was so good. And then they got the spice cake and it all just looks amazing. The spice cake, the char grilled bison, it's amazing. Oh, and they also had the hibiscus lemonade cocktail and they're all cooking it right outside. Look, you can actually see the bison ribeye over there. That looks good. Holy moly, literally you can smell it. It's so amazing. Wow. I wish you guys could just smell that steak on that grill. It's so cool because as you're walking around World Showcase, you're smelling all these incredible flowers, all this incredible food, and it really just sets the mood. And then once we actually, like once we get into World Showcase, it's like 10 times better. We're just on the outskirts. We're trying to pick off all the boots that are kind of just like around this little area here. And then we're going to head into the World Showcase. Of course I had to get the ribeye and look at this. It looks phenomenal. Definitely a contender for probably my favorite thing in the festival. And I haven't even tried it this year yet, but I know, I know what's to come. I know what's to come, trust me. I also decided on getting the hibiscus lemonade and look at how beautiful this drink actually is. It looks like a perfect flower and garden drink and we're going to give it a taste here. Holy, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's a lot of liquor. Holy moly. That's a strong drink. If you're looking to get a little tipsy, this is the drink for you. It's 1150, but you're getting that 1150 worth of gin in there. And also, I didn't know if I pointed out the red wine butter on here. It's almost like purplish, isn't it? Oh, it's red wine goat cheese. Yeah, red wine goat cheese. Yeah, so it's still a very, very colorful. Wow. Very interesting. Very colorful. Yeah. All right. It's time for the ribeye business here. Look at this. You get three large pieces like this and I am so excited. Oh, this is going to be so good. Here we go. Wow. So good. Holy moly. Right? You can actually taste the char on the outside of the ribeye. And if you guys plan on visiting here, this is only going to be available until April. So you've got to get it when you can because it is going to go away and I'm going to miss it so much. The bison ribeye is where it is at. That is so delicious. And I like the cocktail just a little bit too strong. I thought something like that would be very refreshing. And I am not a fan of that cold soup. I mean, I don't know. It comes off like a little bit strong and leaks are actually in season. And I kind of just, I didn't like it. Maybe if it was a little hot. I like hot soup. Good soup. But you know, we're going to actually move along and make our way into World Showcase now. But look how beautiful this is. You can really smell the flowers right here where I'm standing. I think we're going to make our way over to the honey bistro. And we're going to go this way and then towards Mexico because there's a lot of good stands over here and we usually get to them later on in the day. I kind of want to start out with them. Make sure you guys check out all of my friends in today's video. I'm going to put a link for all of their channels in the description. We've got Promise Hope. We've got Write Down Main Street, Alleywood Studios, LBVTV, and I love hanging out with my friends. It's always a good time and it's great to share it with you guys as well. I want to be a bee. Oh, fancy. Thank you. It's all the help you can get around the garden today. It's true. Oh, I'm very excited. Thank you. You too. Happy flower and garden. Look at that. I'm a bee. Happy birthday. I love this so much. They're just handing out little bee hats. It kind of reminds me of the Burger King hats and it's so cool. Look at that. I'm sure they're not going to last long because they're paper and they're going to be all over the park eventually, but I'm going to wear mine as long as I can. As long as I can, I'm going to be nice. Now that we are officially a bee, it's time to make our way over to the Honey Bee Stro and I always love coming here. This year they've got chicken and waffles and then they've got a flap bread. This looks good. The flap bread looks really good, but I'm kind of interested in the chicken and waffles there. And then they also have a honey peach cobbler freeze, a new wave lemonade mead and then some other honey wines down there. But I think I'm just all in on chicken and waffles. Also I wanted to point out my fancy shirt here. If anybody can guess what this shirt actually is, let me know in the comments. I'll give you a hint. It's a beverage, but look at how fancy it is. Very cool. It's a Roosevelt and take a look at this. We've got the chicken and waffles, but this isn't any regular chicken and waffles. This is literally a cornbread waffle with like corn butter. This looks amazing. Like I'm not going to lie. I'm probably most excited to actually try this. And I think there's like a honey drizzle on there too, isn't there? It's like a little butter and some honey. You know us. We are some cornbread beans. Yes. And then what's the flap bread here? It's got like, I don't know if you're going to like it. It's got some prosciutto, some goat cheese, some like blueberries, some like sweet, savory, cheesy, creamy action going on. I'll try it. But I think I'm just excited for that chicken and waffle. Let's see right here. Cut onto that little waffle. Oh, that cornbread just fallen apart though. I know the cornbread waffle just kind of tumbled. That looks like my spoon bread. Not promising. Not promising. So far, I've talked to a couple of people who have not liked this. They said that it doesn't taste good. But it's literally everything I love right now. So it's going to be hard for me to not like it, unless it's really that bad. But we're going to try it. It's good. So sweet. Honestly, I really do like this. I just don't know why people don't like it so much. I mean, it's good. I like the waffle. The chicken's probably my least favorite thing. But I do like the cornbread waffle. That's probably my favorite thing. I guess maybe people aren't happy with the chicken itself. I think the quality of the chicken was a little off. It was a little chewy. Yeah. I mean, I love the waffle though. Look at it. You got chunks of corn in there. And if you get a nice spot with that honey butter in there, that's how it's done. It's honestly almost like a dessert, I feel like. Other than the cornbread waffle, the best thing to come out of the honey bistro are probably the ears. I like the ears a lot. They're really fun. But I did like the cornbread waffle. The chicken just wasn't there for me. So my friends ended up getting some of the food from the refreshment port and then Canada. And what did you get here? What is this? So this is a shrimp scampi poutine. Shrimp scampi poutine. It's very garlic. It tastes way better than it looks. It does not look good. I'm not going to lie. I will say it was lacking in the shrimp. But it's a really garlicky poutine. It was really good. Nice. And then you got that. The scallops. It's got like a mustardy sauce on the bottom of it. It was pretty good. It's like a 5 out of 10. Oh, OK. 5 out of 10. But this gluten-free beer, 10 out of 10. Yes. Well, you're gluten-free and they have that in Canada, right? Yes. It's Glutenberg beer. It's made in Canada, so they have it over there. And it's a blonde ale. And you couldn't even tell that it's not. It has no gluten. It's fancy. Yes. Oh. Now I think it's time to move along. And we made our way to the pineapple promodad. And they actually have a pineapple beer flight. And I always like to get it so delicious. They also have the spicy hot dog and then your traditional dough whip. But I'm really all about the pineapple beer flight. Even though I might want to try the violet lemonade, that actually sounds good. That's a non-alcoholic beverage. Maybe we'll get them both. I need something refreshing and then something boozy. Something really cool to point out, all of the edible flowers are harvested from the land greenhouses, from the ride itself. So as we eat the flowers, we're actually going to be eating from the land. Violet lemonade? Oh, right here. Oh, and that's one of the edible flowers. Look at that. I wanted to get this just as like a little refreshing beverage. And I'm going to eat that flower. I'm going to eat that land flower. Cheers to the violet lemonade. I know sometimes it's hard for me to say violent. I always say violent. Violet lemonade. But this is going to be so good. Oh, yeah. Very refreshing. A little tart. Not too bad, though. I'm going to sip up that flower, though. Mm. I don't know if I like the flower. But I do like the lemonade. I know. I just asked if it's going to be good. Now let's get to the pineapple beer flight. They have the three daughters tropical heffa. Then they've got the broodog hazy Jane IPA. And then the urban artifact, teatropical American fruit tart. That's a big name. That's a big word for Elmo. And I think we're going to just dive in and just sample of them. I'm pretty sure this is the heffa right here. And this is the tart. So we're going to start on this side and then make our way across and see which one we like more. Here we go, heffa. Ooh. I actually like that one a lot. And now the IPA, I believe. A little hazy IPA. Ah, it's OK. I'm not a big IPA fan, you know? But I definitely am not a big tart fan, so I'm not going to like this at all. Oh, you can keep that. Oh. Two tart. Two tart. No, no. I'll drink the IPA. I'm not a big tart fan, so I'm not going to like this at all. Are you sure you don't like IPA? I'm pretty sure. OK. No, I like, oh, you want the IPA? Oh, yeah, you can have the IPA. Here you go. All right. Enough of the pineapple business. It's time to move along and we made our way over to the Florida Fresh Stand. They've got the Grilled Street corn on the cob. They have one that's plant-based and one that comes with spicy corn chips. And then they have blackened fish sliders and then a watermelon salad. And probably the thing I've been most excited about here, the Florida Strawberry Shortcake. It looks so good when I saw the preview menu, so I think I'm going to get that. And maybe a cucumber and watermelon slushie. Looks all good. Looks Florida Fresh. Chris looks Florida Fresh too. I'm Florida Fresh. You are Florida Fresh. You look Florida Fresh. This stand might be my favorite stand. It's got lemons and oranges hanging up there. Big lemon guy. Big lemon guy? I am a big lemon guy. Oh, and look it. There's that strawberry shortcake. Thank you. This is what I was looking for. Oh, and it's a biscuit too, isn't it? What? It's a biscuit? Yeah. Chris, we bought the wrong thing. I've been to the strawberry, I've been to the shortcake like the strawberry festival. Yeah. And you will learn that there are different strawberry shortcakes. But that fish slider looks good. It looked it rolled a little bit. It rolled back. Alright, it's time to dive on in. Here is the watermelon cucumber slushie, which they said the machine wasn't making it slush, so it's still kind of liquidy. I'm fine with that. I just want something nice and refreshing. And then the Florida strawberry shortcake. Like I said, there's like a biscuit to it, and I like it. I'm going to eat this like a sandwich, I feel like. I think that's the way to do it. It's probably going to cause a mess, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice. Alright, here we go. I'm going to put my top on. I'm going to put the top on. Here we go. Oh, this looks so good. Maybe I don't need the top though, but I already have the whipped cream. Maybe I'm just going to eat it this way. Just the bottom of the biscuit. There we go. Here we go. Oh, wow. Wow. I'm going in for another bite. That's the way. So much whipped cream and fresh strawberries. The biscuit is amazing. This is so good. I'll make sure to recap with you guys what my favorite things of the festival were, but this is going to be up there for, it's going to be up there with me. Now we got to try the little watermelon cucumber. Oh, that is so good too. Very refreshing. Florida fresh is knocking it out of the park here. Wow. A little watermelon. A little cucumber. And a little shortcake. That's the way. The only thing I can say I'm not like the biggest fan of when it comes to this shortcake is the biscuit to whipped cream strawberry ratio. I feel like I can just eat the bottom half and that's plenty enough. Now I got this whole top half biscuit here that I got no strawberries or whipped cream to go with, but other than that, it is phenomenal. It tastes so good and it's definitely going to be one of my favorite things so far this year. It's time to keep moving along and I can't believe my hat has made it this long. My bee ears have made it this long and we're going to head on in over to the Odyssey now. The Odyssey is also where they're selling the souvenir orange bird zipper cup which I think a lot of people are trying to get. I'm my fancy one. Looks really cool. Alright, here it is. I got the orange sesame tempura shrimp with orange chili sauce, which that looks so good. They actually give you a good amount of shrimp in there and then I got the lemon meringue pie, the lemon curd, lemon mousse and toasted meringue and then over here we got the orange sunshine slushie. It's like an orange wine slushie and then of course I couldn't leave without getting the orange bird zipper and I love this because it's an orange bird holding an orange and it says Walt Disney World. Probably one of the coolest little sippers that I think I've seen and they actually usually put this in there but I asked for it on the side because I don't want to get it all gunked up, you know? Alright, here we go. Let's dive in to the orange tempura shrimp first and they look like they're just a lot of breading. I hope it's not overly breaded but we'll find out. Oh, that's good though. It is a lot of breading but I like it a lot. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. It is very good though. I like it a lot. The more and more I bite on this the more I really do enjoy it. I like that orange sesame and the orange chili sauce. It's actually really good. It's something that once you eat maybe one or two it's going to get better and I can't wait to dive into the meringue. This looks fantastic. Oh no, shrimp down! At least it was just a shrimp tail. Of course I was not prepared for this and I don't have a fork or knife right now and I don't want to lose my table. It's very sacred spots, the tables are. You know what I mean? It's either tables or trash cans and I got a table so I got lucky. So I'm just going to pick this little meringue up just like a little pie hold it so dearly and we're going to take a bite. That's good. Holy moly. I like this a lot. It's so soft. The tart is literally almost crumbling in my hands. This is amazing. It's much too good. Both of these are really solid choices. Now they did have a citrus baked debris but I didn't get it. I did get this wine slushy so we're going to have to try that but it is melting so I probably should have drank that first. A little wine slush if I don't mind. Oh man. Citrus blossom is just very citrusy and I like it. I like it a lot. And I've still got the bee ears. I want to keep on calling them ears or antennas but I like this one slushy too. Also inside Citrus blossom they have some of the festival merchandise lots of orange. The ears actually look really really nice. I like those. Oh the spirit jersey actually a winner for me this year. I have not been impressed with the spirit jerseys over the years but this one I kind of like. Look at that. Spread the sunshine. A nice little hat over here. I wish it was a flat bram. I probably would get it. Spread in the sunshine. I got a tang top there. Some tumblers. A little magic band. Lots of cool items. I think they did really good with the merchandise this year. Alright. It's time to move along from the citrus blossom and make our way into a world showcase. You know I noticed there were so many other boots that are just on the outskirts. Like we really haven't really gotten into it. So I mean now's the time and we've been here for a while. We're gonna try to do a full lap but I'm not too sure if we're gonna be able to get everything done today. We might have to come back for a part two. There is a lot of food boots. It's hard to actually hit each one of them but I do want to get all the new stuff so we're gonna keep walking until we find a stand where I'm like oh I like that. That's the one. It is super hot out today. I definitely feel like we are in the summer season for Florida already and I'm not ready for it. I'm not ready for it at all. In fact I'm actually going to be doing a little vacation. I'm doing a little trip coming up actually tomorrow and I'm going somewhere very awesome and it's definitely a little bit colder there and I'll talk about it later on in the video. Maybe I'll let you guys know. And I'm excited for it. I'm excited to kind of get a break from the heat and then come back to the heat, you know? As we're moving along I wanted to stop and show you guys the seven dwarves topiaries and then of course you got Snow White and Dopey over here. These are so beautiful. They put in so much work. I love it. Looks lifelike and look at Dopey right now. He just looks dopey. I think our next stop is actually going to be to America. I hear they have some new topiaries over there a pretty amazing menu including a banana fosters bread pudding which if you guys know I love bread pudding. And here we go. We have made it to Magnolia Terrace and look at Princess Tiana. She's got her own topiary here. It looks like she's in the bayou and I think I'm going to go grab something to eat. Looks like the line isn't too bad, huh? Where'd you get there? Some gumbo? Oh boy. That's what I'm going for. All right. Here is my haul from Magnolia Terrace. I like how we're calling it my haul. This is my haul from Magnolia Terrace. I got the beer flight. It's got pretty things ale and that wicked weed and then also a ghost in the machine double IPA. And then I got the spicy chicken gumbo and I hear it's pretty spicy and I'm hoping that it's not pretty spicy but you know, I still love gumbo and then of course Esther's bread pudding. Look at this. It just looks so good. The little delicacies. So I'm going to dive in. Maybe the gumbo first and then the beer in case it's too spicy. I feel like that's a good plan. All right. I'm diving into the gumbo first. Hopefully it's not too spicy. I got a nice little chunk of chicken on there. Some rice. Here we go. Oh, that's really good gumbo though. I like it. It's not as good as like Port Orleans gumbo or Disneyland. I mean, it's pretty good though but I'm not a big fan of the rice and I don't feel a lot of spice. I mean, I feel a little bit of spice but not a lot of spice. I think I'm going to try the pretty little things. Pretty things ale. Pretty little things. I think that's a song. Anyway, cheers. Oh, that's good. I like that. Little double IPA now. Double IPA is pretty good. And now I think this one is the Wicked Weed. The American Light Ale. The American Light Ale is very good. Wow. Honestly, the pretty things ale is good but I really did like that American Light Ale the most. Double IPA. I can probably go without. And I'm still not feeling any heat from here, guys. Maybe you just have a spice tolerance down. There's no such thing. I don't have a spice tolerance. It was like an after kick so I was enjoying it. I'm loving it and all of a sudden I start like in the vlog. Oh my God. What? I'm growing up. You're growing up. I'm a real boy. I'm going to finish up these beers actually. The pretty little things. It's pretty things ale but I'm going to call it pretty little things. This is so good. Alright, here we go. Enough of the gumbo business. It's time to try the bread pudding business. I love bread pudding and I love bananas. There's just a lot of caramel sauce on there. But I'm diving in. Here we go. Banana Fosters. Oh, I love this. I'll eat this all day. I love banana. I love bread pudding. Much too good. It's the perfect bread pudding texture with a little bit of banana to it. I'm all on board. America was great. Oh, I got to finish up my double IPA though. You like some double IPA? Double IPA. Double. Alright, enough of the gumbo business. I really do love the banana fosters bread pudding. I think that was my favorite thing out of all of the American items. The gumbo was okay but it wasn't that spicy and it just wasn't very flavorful. But I did love, like I said, the banana pudding. So that was good enough. So we're going to move along. Head on over to Japan and get some Fushi. Here is a look at the menu. They've got the Fushi which I absolutely everyone loves. It's like a fruit sushi. Strawberry, pineapple, Vichy and sweet rice with a pink soy wrap. And then they've got another sushi there that comes with some mackerel. And then down here they've got a fruit sake cocktail and a cherry blossom pilsner. And they actually have cherry blossoms on the side of the stand here. So I think I'm going to get the cherry blossom pilsner. Alright, it is time for the Fushi and the cherry blossom pilsner. But also in Japan they have a really cool like garden area that I cannot wait to show you. But I'll show you that after we actually eat first. I ran into my friend Beth, villains and vice. And we've got some Fushi. My very first. First timer here. I'm excited. I'm nervous. Oh don't be nervous. You can't go wrong with Fushi. And look at how your drink matches your dress. Everything looks good. Even the Fushi matches your dress. That's the picture. I am so excited. Everyone's got Fushi. Ali had Fushi. Ali had Fushi too. Look it. That's the way. There we go. Grabbing the Fushi. Grabbing some of the whipped cream. Dragging along. Getting that strawberry sauce. This is how you do it. This is like soy sauce. Oh yeah. You've got to drag it on there. Cheers to Fushi. First stop. What do you think? It's good. It's good. No pressure. Look at you guys setting this up over there. This is a very important moment. It's so fun. I don't know what I just said. Hold on. Come with me. Respect your mouth. I stole one of your strawberries. My strawberries fell out. Taking that back. Look at these. Cheers. Oh my god. Too much rice. Too much rice. If you don't like it then I'll just... Hahaha. I kind of agree with Kristen. I think I need more strawberry sauce. But I am happy that they do give you four. Not three anymore. Definitely added benefit. You want more berries and cream. Berries and cream. Yup. Before we were actually eating the Fushi. I was talking about how in Japan they have a really cool garden. It's like a water garden. It's right where we're eating so I want to show you real quick. I kind of love it. Look at this. The water collects. And then it bangs into the bamboo. See this is going to tilt over. This is really cool. I love this so much. And they have a bunch of them. They have one over there too. One over there. They have a lot of food today. And the Fushi was always a go-to. I mean I'm trying like I said some new items. Some things that are returning classics. Got to check out some topiaries. And now I think we're going to keep moving along. This is definitely going to be a part one or part two. I know I'm going to have to come back to Flower and Garden. I don't have much time today. Usually I can get a lot done in one day. But it being too hot out today right now. And the sun's really kicking in to me. I'm not too sure how much more we're going to actually get done today. We decided to keep moving along. And I wanted to stop and show you guys the Muppets Topiaries. You got Miss Piggy and Kermit here. Look at Miss Piggy. She's looking extra this year. Something a little bit different. I can't figure out what it is. But she does look good. And Kermit's always looking like he has a good time. That's a big Kermit though. Holy moly. He's blending in. Oh there's a lizard on his chest. Look at there's a lizard on Kermit's chest right now. Do you see that? That's kind of cool. I don't know why I'm so kind of affaturated with that. Oh there it goes. It's on his leg. It's running down his leg. Come on. Can you imagine a lizard running down your leg right now? Right next to the Muppets Topiaries they have Isla Fresca. And they actually have a braised oxtail and sugar cane shrimp skewers. Those both sound amazing. I think we're actually going to grab some of that. And maybe also the coconut tres leches. I remember one time I was reading tres leches out loud. I was videoing it. I said coconut tree leeches. And it was the most funniest thing. And I couldn't go back and take it back so I just left it in there. And it was so hysterical. This is also the Encanto booth during some festivals. And it's always so pretty over here. Look. We've got a little fountain here with a pineapple. Why do pineapples always look good on fountains? I see pineapples on fountains everywhere. I ended up getting the oxtail and the cane sugar shrimp which looks amazing. And then I got a key lime or key west beer. And then Beth what did you get? You got the coconut what is it called? The coconut tres leches. So it's oat milk, almond milk and coconut milk. Ah. Plant based. That's kind of fun. And the tropical breeze with rum. Don Q way? Is it good? And there's a little lemon rind and there's very good. And then Kristin went over to Franz. Franz? Franz! What did you end up getting? I got the crème brûlée beignet. This was like my favorite thing the past like two years. Crème brûlée beignet. Crème brûlée inside and then it's topped with the sugar and brûlée on top so good. There's croissant here. Nate you want some? Nope. I love goat cheese. Nate doesn't like cheese. He's a weirdo. And you're going to spill that. Oh no you need to get the sipping girl. There it is. And the rosé slush. That's the way. I'm going to try the key lime beer here. Oh that is so good. That might be my favorite beer of the festival right here. Yeah tastes like a coconut key lime pie. So good. Not like creamy or anything like that. Just very nice. Very subtle. Oh yeah. I know. I'm going in on the shrimp. Look at all those shrimps in there. They've been doing a good job. Look at that. The backside of shrimp. That's a lot of shrimps. That's a lot of shrimps. Are you fine? Yeah! On a cane sugar. So like it's a skewer of sugar. So you should eat that. I'm going to eat that right? You can eat it. You chew on it. You know on it. I would not. You can't. Oh my lord. The Lecroy has been Lecroyed. I tainted the Lecroy. That did not go as planned. When I picked up the shrimp skewer all of the chutney basically just fell on my shirt. And it was a little embarrassing. But I think I'm all better now. You can't even tell. Look at that. It kind of just blends in with the shirt. Alright. Enough of the shrimp business. Coming into the Oxtail. You guys do know I love Oxtail. I like to get it at Giko. Yeah. Boma. Thank you. Look at that. Good. Are they playing incontos here? Wow. With the little piggy. This is the incontos booth for Festival of the Arts. Yeah. Here we go. Oxtail. That is amazing. Wow. That's really good. That might be a contender for my favorite thing here. Wow. Why is it so flavorful? It's got strong flavor. Holy moly. That's really good, man. Kristin, what did you think of your food? Was it good? Oh, the beignet is phenomenal. The thing with this beignet is you got to get it at a good time. Oh, yeah? Because you need enough filling in there. Sometimes they just put the tiniest bit of brulee filling inside. And it's not as good. You only get it in one bite. But this one is good. It's all in there. Look at all that filling. And another thing. The top has to be crispy. Sometimes they don't brulee it enough. But it's not crispy enough. But this is perfect. Brulee the top. This is definitely going to be my favorite booth. 100%. I don't even know. What's it called? La Fresca? La Ayla Fresca. La Ayla Fresca is going to go down as my favorite booth between the shrimp and then the oxtail and the beer. I love it. Oh, why don't you try that? You should try the dessert. Yeah! Save the dessert for me. Thank you. And now for the dessert to see if it's even more stabilized as my favorite. I can go without the dessert. It's plant-based, though. I'll give you that. It's just a cake that's probably because it's plant-based. Like I said, is it going to have more flavor? Yeah. It's kind of coconut-y and it's sweet and it's almost like sweet with the flavor. Yeah, we need more coconut. We need more coconut. Wow, we made a full lap, Kristen. Before it's completely dark. Yeah, this is impressive. Now, we did skip over, you know, Mexico, China, Germany and Italy. But they had all the same stuff that they have every year. So, we got to try some of their items. But we did everything else. We got to show basically all of the food. Hi, guys! And now it's time to wrap it up. Head on out. All right, I'm taking my orange bird and we are making our way out. Got to get home, get out of this video and get all packed up. I'm packing up a suitcase, going somewhere fun. Look how sunburned I am today. I was not ready for the Florida sun. I just got back from Oregon where everything was cold. And today, even Florida has been cold the past couple of days. Today, everyone is just talking about how hot it was and how much the sun has been out. But I'm feeling it. Let me take these off. Oh, Lordy! Oh, Lordy! I can see what's happening and they don't have a clue. They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line. Our trio goes down to two. Oh! And just like that we are done here today. I had so much fun at the Flower and Garden Festival. Even though it was a little hot and I got a lot or a little too much sun I still enjoyed my time hanging out with friends. Trying some drinks and food items and just really taking in all of the festival bringings or everything the festival has to offer. A couple of my favorite things I will have to say I really love the Bison Rabbi. Of course, I'm sure you guys knew that was coming. And then also the Oxtail, the Banana Fosters Bread Pudding and the Strawberry Shortcake. Those were like my go-to. And now I'm back home and I get to see Gracie Girl. And I'm going to be going back to Flower and Garden Festival. I'm sorry this video isn't usually as good as I make on the festivals. But like I said, I had a very short window because I need to pack tonight. I'm actually leaving tonight to head back to the West Coast to actually have some more fun over there. And I'm sure you guys have an idea where I might be going because it's time to celebrate Disney 100. So I am very excited. Gracie is hanging out over here and I'm going to pack up my bags edit this video, hop on a plane and make my way on the other side to the other coast. So I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. And we'll see you next time. Bye. In case anybody was wondering here is the prettiest princess in the world. Look at that tail. What are you doing, babe? What are you doing, baby girl? Huh? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I love you. I love you. Look at her little fancy paws hanging over the bed there. You want to go for a walk? Huh? Let's go for a walk.
