2. Extra kiosks: In addition to the 11 permanent pavilions in the World Showcase, extra booths, kiosks (kitchens) and carts are throughout the park with added treats and flower and garden merchandise. Booths that are normally there add in festival related items to get in the spring and flower and garden spirit.
