Hangin' at the Hangar Bar -- A Disney Adults Podcast

Spring has arrived at EPCOT, and that means it's time for the 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival! In this episode of Hangin’ at the Hangar Bar, Scott and Candice dig into everything this year's festival has to offer—from fresh topiaries to brand-new food booths, and of course, all the festival eats and drinks.

We’re covering every Outdoor Kitchen around World Showcase and beyond, sharing our thoughts on what sounds delicious, what’s worth skipping, and throwing out some hot takes on menu choices that might just surprise you. Did Disney knock it out of the park with the new Yacht Grub and Beach Grub booths? Are we excited about the returning festival favorites?

Beyond the food, we also chat about what’s new at the festival this year—including an Inside Out 2 garden, new entertainment, and fresh photo ops that’ll have Disney adults and Instagram influencers buzzing.
