Last year, the Yacht Grub food booth came on the scene at EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival, and this year it’s back!

The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has started, and we’re diving straight in! There are plenty of food booths to try, stunning topiaries to view, exclusive festival merchandise to grab, and even concerts to watch. We’re heading back to the Yacht Grub food booth to see how it holds up this year and we’re taking you with us!


Menu​


Over at the Yacht Grub, you’ll find a variety of available items. We have the returning Trio of Dips and Chips, which we are thrilled about. We also have a new menu item, Captain’s Board. For drinks, we have Limoncello-Basil Sparkling Cocktail returning as a new name. Last year, it was the Lemon Sparkling Cocktail.

Eats​


First up, we grabbed the new Captain’s Board for $7.29. This is a selection of cheeses and cured meats with seasonal accompaniments. Our reporter was impressed by this dish and the amount of food that comes with it. The cheeses had a more subtle flavor and were not too sharp.

Captain’s Board


We found them to be more fruity and on the sweeter side of cheeses, which we think most guests will enjoy. The meats on the board added a nice savory component and balanced the sweeter cheeses. Overall, this is a great board to use as a lighter snack and easily shareable!

Next, you can grab the Trio of Dips and Chips for $6.49. This dish has house-made potato chips with whipped feta dip and candied lemon, caramelized onion dip and caviar, and pimento cheese and pickles. Last year, these dips blew us out of the water. This year, it still holds up!

Trio of Dips


The whipped feta dip had a strong flavor of feta. The caramelized onion dip was creamy and had an interesting salty flavor from the caviar. The pimento cheese was thick and cheesy, just how you want a cheese dip.

House-made chips


The house-made chips added a great crunch and texture, but be aware that some of the bigger ones were undercooked. But the chips are just the vehicle for the dip, which is the star of this show.

Dip it!


Onto the drinks!

Drinks​


In terms of drinks on the menu, we got the returning Limoncello-Basil Sparkling Cocktail. This is a sparkling wine, with Seagram’s Club Soda and limoncello liqueur for $7.75. Last year, we thought this was not too sour or too sweet, but had a nice balance of flavors. It also had a nice aromatic lemon note to it. This year, we were big fans of this. It’s very light due to the sparkling wine, and there’s a tartness to the drink that we loved. It is still a sweet drink, but not overwhelming.

OVERALL​


Over at the Yacht Grub booth, we found a menu that gives you snackable, shareable, and mostly successful bites. The new Captain’s Board is a standout, offering a generous selection of cheeses and cured meats that feels like a solid value for the price. The cheeses skew slightly fruity and sweet rather than sharp, making them approachable for a wide range of tastes, while the savory meats round everything out nicely. The returning Trio of Dips and Chips also remains a strong pick. Each dip brings something different to the table with bold and briny feta, creamy onion with a salty pop of caviar, and thick, classic pimento cheese, and while a few chips were undercooked, they’re really just the crunchy vehicle for those flavorful spreads.

On the drinks side, the Limoncello-Basil Sparkling Cocktail continues to impress. It’s light, bubbly, and nicely balanced with a tart lemon note that keeps the sweetness from going overboard. It’s an easy choice on a warm festival day.

Overall, this booth feels like a hit, especially if you’re looking for something savory to split with a friend. We may not have loved every single bite (those undercooked chips!), but if you’re a fan of cheese boards and bold, creamy dips, this could be right up your alley. We wouldn’t recommend waiting in a super long line, but it’s absolutely worth a stop if the booth is manageable. And if you try it for yourself, be sure to let us know what you think in the comments!
