Photos: EPCOT Introduces Yacht & Beach Club Inspired Offerings for the International Flower & Garden Festival
Take a look at Playalong Bay, Yacht Grub, and Beach Grub.
EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival has arrived, bringing in delicious food booths, gorgeous floral gardens and topiaries, and limited-time experiences. This year, Disney has created exciting and hilarious offerings inspired by their EPCOT area Yacht and Beach Club hotels.
What’s Happening:
- Each year at EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival, a new playground area debuts near the Imagination Pavilion.
- Catered to children ages 2-5, this year’s Playalong Bay took inspiration from Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts, celebrating childhood memories spent by the seashore.
- Sponsored by Smucker’s Uncrustables, Playalong Bay’s tagline reads “wich you were here."
- The playground even has its own legend, describing the playground as the wreckage of the S.S. Smucker’s reclaimed by children playing near the beach.
- The area also hosts picnic tables and standing tables, allowing families to rest and relax or enjoy some snacks from a few other Yacht & Beach Club-inspired offerings.
- Standing right next door to Playalong Bay, guests will find Yacht Grub and Beach Grub.
- The humorously titled food booths are new to the event this year bringing in delicious offerings perfect for a seaside snack.
