Ultimate Guide to the 2024 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival at Walt Disney World

[@pollenjock]

I've watched hundreds of Disney videos lately for a trip I have planned but this one takes the cake for the best and most helpful guide for Epcot's F&G for a newbie! So so appreciated ❤

[@olafpamela]

I totally agree 🤔👍🏻 I saw more different food dishes 😋 Thanks for all your hard work🤗♥️

[@daniellej136]

I agree! Great video!! :)

[@tiannam117]

Hahaha that face when you took a bite out of that uncrustable 🤣😊

[@EarScouts]

😅 - that was actually the first time I had ever tried an Uncrustable and they were still frozen. I can see why kids like them, but not for me. 😂

[@TrevaSullins]

The best review of the Flower and Garden Festival!!!! The food reviews were on point!! The flowers were even better that last years!!! Excellent information as always Ear Scouts! Keep those Happy Thoughts going!!!!!

[@ScottJR7302]

😂😂 @0:42 the cut in the edit, makes it look like you are munching down on a butterfly haha. I do love your videos, great stuff!

[@kayjay5143]

57:02 The beef tenderloin and scallops dishes were my favorites. I thought you weren’t going to mention them but your review came at the end. ☺️The beef tenderloin tips that I had were so tender and delicious.

[@bobbowser2876]

Woohoo! Been looking forward to this one! Going to our first FGF in 9 days 😊

[@EarScouts]

Hi Bob! I hope you have an amazing time. The festival is especially beautiful this year. Thanks - as always - for support what we do here! 😃

[@havellas1]

I love that you love Disney and food. Makes me feel very connected to you! 🤣

[@kphifer]

Thanks for stopping and taking a pic with us today!

[@EarScouts]

My pleasure - thank you for saying hello! 😃

[@rhiannonspillane8142]

Yay!! I am a new subscriber and we are going in early April and I was anxiously awaiting this video. Can’t wait to watch. I love watching your videos!!

[@EarScouts]

Thanks so much, Rhiannon! Hope you enjoy this one and - more importantly - hope you have a great time this April!

[@brittneyferrara272]

Yay! a new Ear Scouts video! And Flower & Garden?! Can't wait! I will be there end of April, early May. First time experiencing F&G!

[@EarScouts]

Hi Brittney! You are in for a treat. Epcot is absolutely stunning right now. The horticulture team did an amazing job this year. 😃

[@brittneyferrara272]

Ahhh! I can't wait. As always, that you so much for all you do. Your videos are my absolute favorite!! Always waiting for the next one to up. 😀@@EarScouts

[@SaraStory-vl5xi]

Hello! I just wanted to send a huge THANK YOU for your genie plus videos on KZbin. 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!

[@jeffm4257]

Thanks!

[@EarScouts]

Thank you so much, Jeff! That was very kind of you. We hope our videos have been helpful for you and we really appreciate your support for our channel. 😃

[@alainafarooq880]

Hi Rob. I love your videos. I hope you do videos on the best live shows and entertainment in each park. The indoor shows are a great way to cool off and be entertained. Thanks.

[@Mtsayhello]

I love your garden ears

[@mayelam.-bo2tk]

The food at Jardin de Fiestas was soooo good. We totally agree with Erick.

[@irenea7987]

Great video! Excited to try some of your recommendations next week!

[@saraaceves6642]

Thank you for showing us the gardens! We’re going after Easter and there’s sooo much to see

[@Artuitus]

thank you very much for all the tips-we just got back and had an awesome trip. We fall more into the 'practically perfect' camp than the 'did everything at xyz park' camp so I hope we see some more videos that style from you.

[@Nettles1]

Keep em coming

[@EarScouts]

We’re about to start editing the next one later today! Thanks for watching. 😃

[@traceyhill7784]

Great video Rob and Erick. Loved it. Our daughter is a gardener so we are thinking about the living with the land tour for her when we come over from the UK in August. Thanks for the heads up. X

[@aprilarnold1564]

Awesome video! One of my favorite Epcot festivals

[@EarScouts]

Hi April! It’s so lovely this year. Disney did a great job with the new topiaries and there are even more flowers than previous years. 🌸🌺🌷

[@atzkids1491]

Thanks for another great video, my family is all in on the toasted pretzel bread in the Germany pavilion. Can’t wait to give that one a try. Thanks again for all the informative videos. Much like this festival video, Your genie + videos are on point! The best “how to enjoy Disney” videos out there by far! 👍🏻

[@EarScouts]

Thanks so much! I hope you get the pretzel bread when it’s fresh from the oven. I’ve never managed it, but I’m betting it would be spectacular. It’s always good, though. You’ll have to let us know what you think. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@GMC83]

We used to come for FGF every year. Digging the Mickey-ears for this video, sort of a topiary vibe! I’m so excited for the Trump ‘24 Mickey-ears we got for our next trip in June!!

[@EarScouts]

Flower and Garden is so beautiful, right? I lucked out and found those ears at Caribbean Beach - they are the new exclusive ears for that resort.

[@julierhan]

So helpful and thorough! Thank you very much!

[@EarScouts]

Thank YOU for watching and taking the time to leave this lovely comment. 😊

[@barbaragiusti2159]

Thank you for the wonderful review. I will be missing this event this year due to the fact the moved the closing date of this event. I am so sad but I really enjoyed your reviewed.

[@miriamvaldivia2612]

This is my favorite festival and I won't make it this year so I will live through you! Like always, great video!

[@EarScouts]

Hi Miriam! Sorry you won’t be able to make it this year, but we hope you enjoy seeing the new topiaries in the video. They are quite lovely and I imagine most of them will be back in future years because they look so great. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@jessicascraps4010]

You were so nice to the Italy booth it is always so bad We come in may can’t wait to try everything

[@Traveler-nu8xc]

Great review, thanks!

[@adriennedesens4230]

Thanks for this awesome guide to this year's Flower and Garden Festival! I will be visiting EPCOT for a full day in May; I'm hoping to maximize my experience, and this video was a huge help for me to decide what my must-do's are. Always love your team's content!

[@stephaniem6424]

that tiny avocado toast for $6 is crazy!

[@MarthaJOHNSON-iu4wk]

Keep up the good work 😊❤

[@jonny5alive7]

Great video, really appreciate the amount of effort you put into these! Completely unrelated but are you renewing your Genie Plus tips video for 2024?

[@EarScouts]

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. 😅

[@jenstrebelinski1457]

Awesome video!!!🎉

[@EarScouts]

Thank you - and thanks for watching! 😃

[@jessicaa.m.harper1727]

I haven't seen anyone point out the actual gardens at F&G. I had no idea they even had that! Makes me want to go to F&G even more! Won't be happening this year, but someday...

[@AmberDoubleU]

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]

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. 😕

[@lizkarr929]

Awesome video! Will the gardens still be available for viewing after the festival?

[@EarScouts]

Maybe for a few days until they break it all down, but not for long usually.

[@GVLSoccerGuy]

I anxiously await your festival reviews when they overlap with a trip we have planned. Hitting up F&G on our trip in May. Will you all be reviewing the rotational items at Farmer's Feast when they turnover at all?

[@EarScouts]

Hello! So glad to hear you’ve been finding the review videos helpful. I don’t know yet if we’ll cover those menu items when we change over. Probably will depend a lot on what we have going on and whether we can make it work with our schedule of videos. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@StarViewer68]

First off, I love your ears 🥰! Did you make them or are they from shopDisney? 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? Overall, thank you so much for reviewing everything about the festival! I’m going to be at Epcot during spring break week after the Easter weekend. Will you be doing a video on spring break tips for Disney world?

[@EarScouts]

Hello! You are absolutely correct! It seems we didn’t review that one last year for some reason. Thanks for pointing that out so we can correct it in the future. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the video - thank for watching!

[@doronalperin9480]

Fantastic video. Like always. Can you share where you get your amazing Mickey ears?

[@EarScouts]

Hello! I forgot to put it in the video description this time. I found these at Caribbean Beach resort. They are themed to that resort and you can only get them there. Thanks for watching! 😃

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]

😂🤣😂 - 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! 🙂

[@CarolCap131]

@@EarScouts I believe the mint julep bar at Disneyland has non-alcoholic mint juleps along with beignets and we’re actually fine with the illusion. 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. Truly a bucket list trip for these two ear scouts fans. Wish us luck!

[@annettechamberlain2267]

Yes, the Mint Julep bar in DL has both the Mikey Beignets and Mint Juleps (sometimes they have seasonal ones), so it should be easy to take on your fun little adventure 😉
