  • New Orange Bird Sipper Debuts at Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival

    New Orange Bird Sipper Debuts at Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival

    A brand new Orange Bird sipper has flown into the Taste of Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival!

    The new sipper can be found at ‘The Citrus Blossom’ Outdoor Kitchen, which is located in Showcase Plaza. It’s decorated with an orange slice, orange blossoms, and larger arms.

    It also comes with an Orange-Lemon Smoothie (nonalcoholic). This smoothie is different from the Festival of the Arts, which tasted like a Creamsicle. The Orange-Lemon was more orange flavor and tasted almost like Tang! I loved it. Take a closer look below:

    A Cast Member also let us know that the old version will now be available at Sunshine Tree Terrace in the Magic Kingdom! The festival runs March 3rd to July 5th this year, which is over 4 months of food and flower packed fun.
