You might be wondering right now, what is the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival? This festival is where you get to see some amazing gardening work that makes plants look like Disney characters.
I have gone to Disney World during this festival and it really is cool to see!
I just came back from a trip to Disney World and I was lucky enough to be in the parks during the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival!
During the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, there are booths through out the World Showcase where you can try food from other countries! I went to Primavera Kitchen in the Italy pavilion and I am excited to be reviewing the food for you.
We had the Arancini. That is fried risotto balls that are filled with beef and are served with tomatoes. This dish was delicious! I really loved how fresh the tomatoes tasted.
Hi everyone! You all know about Al, my younger brother. I have interviewed him before and he has given his opinion on restaurants at Disney World.
My schedule right now is getting VERY busy and I have decided that Al will be doing guest articles here on DisneywithIzzy! This does NOT mean that I am no longer writing articles for DisneywithIzzy. Al will just be a guest blogger sometimes to help me out.
