Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators visit Epcot during the opening of the International Flower and Garden Festival to sample new food offerings and explore the park. They begin by observing the floral displays and topiary before checking on construction updates near Communicore. The tour moves through World Showcase, starting with the Mexico Pavilion, where they taste a tamal, pork on fried corn shells, and a guava vanilla flan. They conclude that the pork dish is a standout. In China, they sample a spicy Mala chicken skewer, noting its lack of a numbing sensation despite the spice. The journey continues to Italy, where they experience mixed results, including a disappointing caprese salad that contained a hair, though they highly recommend the chocolate cannoli with peanut butter ricotta. At the Japan booth, they try a vegetable steamed bun and a ramen cup, finding both to be flavorful and refreshing for the heat. The creators also highlight various shopping opportunities, including a Jelly Cat popup and a Dapper Day kiosk. They conclude their visit by recommending that guests stay hydrated and seek shade due to the high temperatures.
