We usually wind up at WDW later in the summer, but as it turns out, Little Buster graduated from High School.  Instead of spending Senior Week with his friends, he wanted to go to Disney with the family!  He\u2019s such a wonderful kid.  We were thrilled to celebrate his success with him.  Plus, we realized that our visit to the Flower and Garden was going to be able to happen!  We had been to Food and Wine the year before and had a real blast, so getting to go to another festival was a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we got home, I thought about the festival.  At first I thought maybe I liked it a bit less because the food was better at Food and Wine.  Duh.  It is in the name!  That led to a discussion between Buster and me about appreciating each festival for its unique flavor.  I had taken a lot of pictures and I realized I was really enraptured by the topiaries and garden\/flower displays.  Duh. Its in the name!  The amount of time and care it takes to keep them fresh and blooming and beautiful is staggering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be easy to walk by the flowers to make your way to the next ride or food booth.  I would humbly beg you not to do that.  Much like passing right by the Tree of Life at AK, it would be easy to grab your photo, consult your food guide and take off.  However, you will miss out on the whole point the point of the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now back to my musings about the food at this festival.  I realized part of the reason they cannot be compared to one another goes back to theming.  The food at Flower and Garden is lighter, fresher, and supposed to revolve around the idea of fresh, local, farm to plate, and wholesome.  Of course there are exceptions, but the popular selections fit many of these parameters.  Little Buster and I especially wanted to try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyfoodblog.com\/2022-epcot-flower-and-garden-festival-hanami\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frushi<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyfoodblog.com\/2022-epcot-flower-and-garden-festival-the-citrus-blossom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tuna Tataki Bowl<\/a>.  Both were delicious!  The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyfoodblog.com\/2022-epcot-flower-and-garden-festival-cider-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BLT Scone<\/a> deserves mention as a favorite as well.  Memorable!  Little Banshee ate it all &#8211; forcing us to go back and get another. She likes to eat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busterandthebanshee.com\/staging\/9512\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0690.jpg?resize=576%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Frushi at Epcot Flower and Garden Festival\" class=\"wp-image-297\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busterandthebanshee.com\/staging\/9512\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0690.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busterandthebanshee.com\/staging\/9512\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0690.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busterandthebanshee.com\/staging\/9512\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/IMG_0690.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Frushi!
