EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Begins This Week

March 1st  today!  I had to come back and edit!!! I didn't realize it was a new month LOL.   March means spring to me.  And a sure sign of spring is the amazing flower and garden festival at EPCOT.  The park is transformed into an amazing array of blooming colors and fantastic topiary, and exciting events throughout.  Even if you're not an avid gardener and have no sign of a green thumb (that's me)  you can appreciate all the beauty the park offers at this time of year.   I am always in awe of what I see and experience while touring the park.  HOW DO THEY DO THAT??!?!?!  On a normal day EPCOT is lovely....but during this spring season it is just inspiring.


The Flower and Garden Festival is gearing up to begin on March 3 and will run thru May 16.  If you have never been, this is a beautiful time to visit the parks.  Not only for the gorgeous flowers and fun events & concerts, but the weather is fantastic this time of year.  The temps are usually in the mid to upper 70s or warmer and the kids can swim but it's still comfortable for touring the parks.   The end of April into early May are some of my favorite times to visit WDW.  As you get farther into April and to about mid May the crowds are low -  also a bonus!

Here is some more specific info on what will be offered this year...
