We Tried 13 Food Items From Disney's Flower & Garden Festival At EPCOT! | Food Reviews & New Merch!

In today's vlog we head to Walt Disney World's EPCOT park for the 2020 Flower & Garden Festival to try some food items! We've been looking forward to this festival and couldn't wait to make a trip out. We started out the day by checking out some new festival merch and then made our way into the World Showcase for some food. We made it half way around the world and ended up trying 13 things. We started at the Citrus Blossom booth and continued on counter clockwise. We definitely had some hits and some misses today but overall we loved almost everything we tried! We hope you enjoyed hanging out at EPCOT with us! Did you see anything that you have to try on your next visit, let us know in the comments down below! Thank you for watching and we'll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

I love Tim’s perpetual state of bouncing whenever Jackson is in his little holder. Just bouncing in place!

[@morgitimmons]

Can we talk about how Jen is glowing even more now that Jackson is here? I mean she was beautiful before pregnancy, stunning during, but now she is killing the game!!! Jackson will also be able to go anywhere and adjust because you are exposing him to different environments now. Such good parents 💕 also, I wish I could wear a cap with my hair down like that. Random side note 🤣

[@ashleyanthony7466]

Morgan Bollinger it made me want to cut my hair!! 🤣

[@morgitimmons]

Ashley Anthony omg yes. But I would look crazy 🤣

[@shellyhassdenteufel7444]

Morgan Bollinger couldn’t agree more with all of this!!

[@somemadhope2010]

Keep taking Jackson everywhere with you! We took our daughter everywhere and weren’t strict on nap schedules and bedtimes and because of that she is so flexible. She can take a nap on the go or fall asleep when we are out and about. So many people I know who have strict schedules and keep their child in a lot, have children that aren’t flexible and who have a hard time being on the go. I hope that makes sense. So happy for you all. You’re baby journey was so similar to ours and I love seeing how happy you all are. You deserve it!

[@meghan926]

Cori Fisher some routine is good for kids! Good for them to be flexible but routine is great as well. Especially if you plan on them having a more structured life down the line (non-homeschooling, etc). Be flexible where it makes sense but have routine where they need it :)

[@beccaboomagical8091]

Totally agree with this cori

[@chelseatermane5499]

Cori Fisher TOTALLY agree,I have a 3 month old and we can be out for hours just running errands or on a day trip and she will be content the whole day as long as she’s fed and gets a diaper change,it’s wonderful!

[@juliajones2283]

Totally what I did with my boys Cori, Agree flexibility is best. Xx

[@chelseatermane5499]

Robyn C definitely agree with you

[@betsyspeer1509]

Lost my daughter in a butterfly arboretum in Georgia, many years ago she was maybe 4. I found her under the staircase talking to a butterfly that was on her finger! Special, kind of a Tink moment! I will remember that forever!

[@karaclanton1541]

Jenn is honestly great at reviewing food. Professional quality.

[@karaclanton1541]

Tim is good too lol just Jenn is very descriptive

[@bethterra3957]

Yummo

[@lukemays8169]

Tim’s videos are so pure he never ask or has like goals he never ask to sub and it’s just a great vibe watching him and Jen

[@tiffanyann9763]

Tim eating and bouncing all the way around Epcot 😳 He really does multi-task well lol. So glad for a food review vlog of the Flower & Garden Festival!! Now I can make my list of “must haves.” 😁

[@southerngirl7425]

Yeah Baby body language now..I almost got motion sick watching Tim 😁 😘

[@garyc1479]

Should be a motion sickness warning on all future vlogs, got a stroller, use it!! 😂

[@southerngirl7425]

@@garyc1479 oh I don't think so Carrying Jackson doesn't give the same feeling as strolling him But Hey... all part of "new parenthood on YT" I love their new family being incorporated from the beginning and know they'll work out all the minor changes needed 😍

[@samanthabaugher7841]

He just made my heart melt as he was bouncing him while still doing his thing!

[@tiffanyann9763]

I honestly think it’s very cute Tim carrying Jackson and they are such good parents ❤️ I’m impressed that Tim can carry Jackson, eat, bounce and not skip a beat. 😊

[@Hx3ney]

Love Jenn getting her seafood fix. I relate. My husband can't have onions so when in the world I eat all the onions.

[@Kay-gy6td]

Jen’s hair just looks so good!!

[@tamicook9202]

11:34 Jackson’s eyes are SO blue and he is SO wide eyed/alert - surely he is taking in all of the sights, sounds and smells ❤️

[@georginapacheco769]

I love how Tim has the rocking Jackson down even when he is eating he is making sure he is rocking him, love seeing you guys as parents, baby Jackson is a lucky kid!

[@russelledgar9097]

Fun to look back on these videos after the closing, even if it’s sad when they say “we’ll get it next time,” since the parks won’t open until the festival is over.

[@taylorholloway5347]

Hey Trackers! I am 4 1/2 months pregnant and we have loved rewatching all of y’all’s pregnancy videos and of course baby Jackson updates. We were wondering if y’all could do like an updated haul video and talk about the things you bought for Jackson and the nursery with your reviews now. Like y’all didn’t like the Mamaroo, did he keep liking his new swing for a while? We want to buy the Uppababy Vista and Mesa, is it worth it? What things didn’t you buy that you ended up needing? What did you buy that you didn’t actually need? How is the Ubbi diaper pail? Do you like the nursery furniture still? Bassinets, high chairs, basically any of it lol. Just an updated review! We are pretty clueless but watching your pregnancy vlogs helps! 😊

[@erinopenshaw3369]

Epcot is truly one of my favorite places. Thank you for letting us all live vicariously through you!

[@jacquelinezoccolillo9808]

So I have been watching you since the parks reopened and you “helped” prep us when we went to Food&Wine 2020. We are possibly going to Flower & Garden 2021 so I was just taking a look back. Sad 😢 to think that this video was probably just days before they closed. Wondering if you ever got a second tuna dish ? (Just goes to show you, never put off for tomorrow what you can EAT today lol) Thanks again and hope to “see” you real soon!

[@ErinGallagher7011]

It is weird watching this when the pandemic is happening..watching this in July and this video feels like years ago.

[@Gibbles432]

I love how Jenn is super incognito with her hat and sunglasses and then Tim is just like, "Hey, everybody!"

[@lauriewilliams8336]

You guys are so wholesome and fun. I love your sweet little family. Jackson is adorable and I love to vicariously got Disney through you.

[@Giantsgrl309]

I love bouncing Tim!!! Such a great dad. I love how down to earth you both are! I've been watching for a while. Love you both. Jenn your hair is amazing!!!! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️❤❤❤

[@val-wv1pn]

I almost thought Tim was just really excited but then I realized he was bouncing Jackson to keep him asleep :')

[@sarabutler-smith5285]

I love seeing how you both share caring for Jackson in the parks! It’s amazing to me how rare it is to see a dad wearing their child in a carrier- kudos to Tim!

[@johnbumper2724]

Hey Tim I met you this day, thank you so so much for taking a photo with me it meant so much to me. I’ve been watching y’all forever and learning your Disney tips and sharing them with my family. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to take a photo with me you guys are the best.

[@rebeccaboroczky2778]

“Okay let’s go into the butterfly garden” “oooo butterflies!!” what did you think would be in there Tim? 😂

[@TiffanieMichelle]

Tim doing the dad bounce while reviewing food is adorable 😊❤️

[@SWEETMCKAY]

I’m shocked they don’t have 1M subs yet

[@Quaronna]

It's because they work hard. Whereas privileged kids can get 2 mil in 1 month 😕💔

[@ashleyburbank3129]

Could keep the salmon flour cup as a planter. Already looks like one so it wouldn't be too out of place. A nice flower could be something Jackson would enjoy looking at ❤

[@jemmablack7449]

Cannot wait for the video where Jen gets to finally ride Hagirds Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure 🛵

[@melissaknapp4937]

I was there 1 year ago today and I’m so wishing I was back! Thanks Tim and Jen for bringing the magic back to me!

[@cathieschmitgal5515]

Oh Hahahah Jen saying the andouille sausage was not good....I laughed out loud!

[@TheBoler737]

That citrus chicken looks so good! I need to try it! Jen’s face when she had that piece of sausage 😂

[@Hx3ney]

Wish she didnt edit it out though. Would have been funnier .. bleh ..no good 😝

[@BrewCityGillz]

Jenn just sounded so excited to eat... and with so many tasty things I can’t blame her! 😀💫🍢🍪🍗🥟

[@suzannemendez2505]

The pecan cake and key lime tart looks great

[@rebeccacarroll9893]

Honestly that spike spork (say that five times fast lol) is a great souvenir! Also I love the new spirit rain slickers I can’t wait to see what other designs they’ll come up with.

[@TheTRTurner]

So nice to see you enjoying all these events together again. Jackson is so cute! We love watching you all enjoying each other together. So wonderful. The yummy fish dishes Jen are looked amazing, yum!

[@Cutiepenguin42]

Well dang. I was really in to those balloon ears, but if Jenn says they're even heavier than the usual ears, I don't think I could hold my head straight enough all day

[@shellyhassdenteufel7444]

Cutiepenguin42 I had the same thought!!

[@jeremyprosser6214]

My wife and I just got back from Disney a few days ago. We spent two and a half days at Epcot out of our seven day vacation and have decided we really love Epcot! My wife saw one of your past videos about the Flower and Garden Festival and was very glad we got to see it and do the scavenger hunt while visiting. We also "paid the price..." when we were on the bus from our hotel to Epcot and another passenger was wondering what the food was going to be for the festival and my wife told her about what food Tim previewed and also told her about the other things going on. We also "paid the price" again when we were in the France area and doing the scavenger hunt when a nice couple asked us where we got the scavenger hunt flower and we told her what locations she or her husband could get them and they thanked us. We did try the dole whip which was very tasty and refreshing after walking around in the heat, but did not get around to trying the food booths due to having dinner plans throughout the countries.

[@kyngmidas]

The thing on top of the Katsu slider looked like lotus root

[@bonnieperkins4012]

I like how you multitask Tim eating and bouncing. To cute ❤️❤️💜

[@Giantsgrl309]

When you see Tim bouncing thinking hes so excited about the citrus chicken..... and you realize he bouncing Jackson. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ratchetz]

I really like that you guys are honest about the food you review; it sucks that you eat things you don’t like, but I really appreciate that you tell us when it happens.

[@kimymarie596]

Why do I watch these videos while I’m eating peanut butter toast??? I feel inadequate 🤣🤣

[@shellyhassdenteufel7444]

kimymarie596 lol, I had similar feelings with my tortilla chips! 🤣

[@etnchn]

Hi Jenn! I agree with your comment at 17:48. I love the presentation, but being the flower and garden festival, it makes sense that there be an emphasis on sustainable practices. As always, thanks for sharing :)

I'm from New Orleans and your have to pinch the tail (at the end), you can also squeeze the tail at the sides which will crack the top of the shell, this makes it easier to get the meat out. If you ever come to New Orleans anyplace you go will show you how to do this! Love your videos!

I want that orange bird sipper with the orange cream shake 😍 also tim with jackson your in between sizes right now thats okay haha

[@dejabluek8297]

Love how Jenn talks about how Disney is using or not using sustainable materials like the cardboard plates and the plastic flower pot. Although, as another commenter posted, the flower pot can possibly be used as a planter or toy for Jackson.

This is really making me want to go back to Epcot. I went last year for flower and garden and was thankful to have the videos to show me what was worth it and what was skippable. Now I’m just nostalgic for last year and wishing I were back lol. I might as well keep living vicariously through them 😹

[@LegendsofSolComics]

BringingBack SocksWithSandals omg same! I went in May last year and it was so much fun! I also ate at Teppan Edo and im addicted! Feel in love with the Hibachi. Luckily we have a hibachi place near where i live so i can get some when im craving it.

If your family ever goes anywhere other than Disney places. Victoria, B.C on Vancouver Island has Butterfly World with many different types of butterflies, parrots, macaws, eguanas, tortoises, turtles, flamingos, koi and other small birds. Some of them are rescues and donates from people who can't look after them anymore. They keep it very warm and moist in there for the butterflies.

Lots of places to walk around, flowers, butterflies, and so much good food/drinks. I'm pretty sure the reason I went there was because of one of your videos. Thanks for the videos, they really help us decide what to do on our trips! We appreciate the tips too.

You should've kept the little pot and grew a small plant or succulent. You'd have a cute reminder of your day with Tim and Jackson.❤

Not at the butterfly house in Epcot, but at a different butterfly house, butterflies landed on me. It was on my glasses, so I couldn't take a picture right...lol I am really excited about the new Orange bird merch.

[@kellysunserenity4068]

Yay Flower and Garden! Love how Disney took the concepts of a Garden Party and Block Party to creat something so fun. Jackson seemed pretty happy too!

[@Nathan091]

Question; Do you now have a camera man? Couldn’t help but notice in the sunglasses and some shots it was neither Tim nor Jen shooting.

[@graemehunter4395]

Yeah, notice at 14:19 Jenn gives Tim food to the side of the shot, and the camera moves during this so it couldn't be mounted on a pole or something. Also note in this shot you can see Tim with Jackson and someone else reflected in Jenn's glasses. Guess they must or someone else was with them that day who offered to film.

[@shoemakerluis]

if they had a camera man, not sure why they'd film 99% of this one themselves. Maybe just a friend holding the camera for one scene

[@LydiaStJohn]

Sometimes they go to events and dinners with friends and never talk about them being there. Some people don’t like to be on camera I think.

[@kbwaterbug29]

i also wonder if it's someone to help with Jackson. They made a comment one time that they had someone there to help and once in a while you will see them both walking and neither is pushing the stroller so someone must be with them

[@trangpham88]

The camera may be on a small tripod when they are at a table. I'm just guessing

[@ladycase2]

No one does tastings like Jen...thank you! Just awesome!

[@brianl8481]

I remember one year, back in Virginia, when I worked at an amusement park, I got to "carry" a butterfly around for quite a while at the opening of the park. One of my co-workers and I named the butterfly "Flutter". Flutter was so good to stay with me for as long as he/she did.

[@shaynamermelstein3740]

Amazing video of you, your beautiful wife Jenn, and your amazing baby boy Jackson Tim. Each seafood themed food that jenn ate is absolutely delicious. Tim I have an ideal challenge that you and jenn should do on your next home vlog & that is to try to make one of the themed foods at Epcot’s Flower & Garden Festival. The cooking challenge should be trying to make Fried Green Tomatoes 🍅. Keep up the phenomenal job uploading videos & continue to keep everyone informed of all great theme park related excitement👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dobaleedo]

Sometimes going back and watching these videos of the *before* times makes me so sad. I was supposed to be there for F&G May of 2020 and I remember falling in love with the spirit slicker when Jenn showed it. That was the 1 and only piece of merch I wanted to get. I did end up going in May 2021 and I didnt get a single piece of merch because it didnt seem important anymore. I was just happy being out of my house and finally having fun with my family.
