Let's Drink Around the World!!

Epcot World Showcase
Attire: Ready-to-party
Party time! After a casual, relaxing brunch at the Walt Disney World Dolphin, Kevin and I will be walking over to Epcot for an evening of Flower Garden Festival plates and drinks. All are welcome who would like to join us. Kevin and I will be leading the party from the resort to the back entrance of Epcot. Personally, the Flower Garden Festival is our favorite Epcot festival with DELICIOUS plates to snack for dinner and WONDERFUL drinks to try. This was the festival Kevin and I enjoyed for our engagement two years prior. Please note that tickets are NOT included. If you would like to join us to drink around the World Showcase Lagoon in Epcot, you will need to purchase tickets and make a reservation for Epcot on Saturday, April 22, 2023. I suggest purchasing your tickets and making your reservations at least a week in advance. Plates and drinks in Epcot are also NOT included. People are welcome to purchase as many or as little food plates and drinks from the festival. And of course, we will be riding the Three Caballeros Ride in Epcot over and over at Evalina's request.
