GRAND OPENING! Welcome to the 2018 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival! PART THREE

Welcome back, Disney Festival Fans!       I welcome you to the third installment of my trip around the colorful, fragrant world of the  2018 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival ! (If you missed the first two parts, hakuna matata! Click  HERE ! And then click HERE !) Let's head on back to the Outdoor Kitchens at this year's Festival, and check out what kind of good stuff we got to enjoy!       A reminder that my first visit to the Festival this year was with five of my friends, on opening day. We tried out quite a bit of stuff, though not everything, so I will be forced to return to the Festival soon, and have more. (Ow, ow!!! You're twisting my arm!) For things that are a repeat of last year and that I had previously reviewed, I did not bother getting them again, so my reviews and pictures of those items may be from last year. Fair enough? OK, let's go! ~~~~~~~~~~ Florida Fresh Between France and Morocco What
