The 2021 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival looks different than in years past but it is still one of the most beautiful times to visit Epcot and has many fun treats in store. First up, you have the stunning topiaries and gardens dotted throughout the entire park.  These are what really sets the tone for this festival. If you're lucky, you might even spot a character or two hanging out in the gardens.  I spotted both Alice and Mary Poppins at different times in the English Tea Garden!  Tinkerbell is tucked away in the back of the UK Pavilion Mickey makes a second appearance by World Showplace Next you have the Outdoor Kitchens and lots of yummy food and beverage choices around World Showcase and even popping down into Future World a bit.

Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill is located at Disney Springs and brings a world renowned chef within reach for your next Disney vacation. The restaurant boasts laid back California cuisine with Mediterranean influences and takes on comfort classics. Reservations can be made 60 days in advance and are highly recommended.  We were sat with a lovely view of the pizza kitchen for our meal on this particular evening.  The restaurant was elegant yet comfortable, perfect for a dinner after a day in the parks.  We started the meal with a sangria and a beer, but they also have a delightful cocktail menu and wine selection.  With our wonderful view of the pizza oven, we of course had to try one of the pizzas so we opted for the  Italian Sausage Pizza with pickled peppers, red onion, fresh mozzarella, and basil and it did not disappoint.  It was delivered hot and fresh to our table and those pickled peppers added such a nice special touch to your everyday sausage pizza.
