There you have it, the new items for the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. What sounds good to you? For our video this year, I need to be really selective, as I am on a diet, so I am going to try only five items and make them all new. I will get this out of the way right now. We are getting the Chocolate-Maple Whiskey Cake. It is not a new item, but we really enjoy this one each year. Joining it will be in particular order, Pizza Bianca from connections, French Toast from BRUNCCOT next to Test Track, Blackened Fish Slider next to Comunicore, and Taco de Calamar from Mexico.
