Flower and Garden Festival vs Food and Wine Festival

[Maize&Blue]

Hello all. We are planning a trip to WDW in May and going to the Flower and Garden Festival. In the past we have always attended the Food and Wine festival. How does F&G compair to F&W?

We have gone to both the last few years and enjoy both for different reasons.
F&G is smaller, fewer food kiosks. We enjoy the food and wine pairing meals which F&G doesn't have.
F&G has all the topiaries, and EPCOT is decked out in its best decor. Love the butterfly house.
Both have lots of great bands that play,and this year F&G has a band every day.
As I understand F&G is newer then F&W and its getter better each year.

Between the 2, i much prefer F&W, but not on the weekends.

I used to prefer F&W now I prefer F&G. It's less crowded and less "rowdy" overall, esp. at night. I love the flowers everywhere, the butterfly house, and the topiaries. There are fewer booths, but lighter ingredients (IMO) which appeals to me more.

I'm going to be seeing F&G for the first time in April and I'm very excited. I love F&W but I'll be honest, all the booths can be overwhelming. I want to try everything and I cannot physically hold that much food lol. So I'm really looking forward to a smaller number of booths offering some tasty food, and I'm looking forward to seeing the topiaries. They look gorgeous.

Does anyone know if they have something like the passport booklet for F&W?

I’m planning to look at the menus for the booths online before we go, but it would be nice if there was a listing onsite that I could pick up.

F&G is amazing!

Once you see Epcot dressed up for F&G,it will look "naked" to you the rest of the year!

I wish they would leave The Floating Gardens out all year!!!!
