After all, this is a place where dreams come true–a place where you can tour the world in a day without jet lag.

Can’t wait to taste the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival? Try this fan favorite Honey Peach Cobbler Freeze recipe to set the mood for your future travels. After our family went to the festival, I bought a copy of the Disney Festivals Cookbook by Pam Brandon and the Disney Chefs, published in 2018. A sip of this recipe from the book transports me to sunshine and sweetness—served with a side of Disney’s magic memories.

Honey Peach Cobbler Freeze

2 cups diced fresh peaches

1-½ tablespoons honey

2 cups frozen vanilla yogurt

½ cup milk

½ granola, for the topping

Blend the peaches, honey, frozen yogurt, and milk in a blender until smooth. Pour into two tall glasses and garnish with granola.

(This is the non-alcoholic version. The cookbook also offers this variation with 1-¼ ounces of blueberry vodka for a twist if desired)
