Disney Resorts has been "plussing it up" again and this time it's the 20th Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival presented by HGTV.
Mark your calendars, the dates are March 6-May 19, 2013 at Walt Disney World Resort.

Yes, my foodie friends! Look and see..

Till then, hope you are having a delightful Disney day,
I absolutely love the Flower and Garden Festival. The displays around Epcot are just amazing! We actually will be leaving Walt Disney World March 3rd, so I am hoping we can catch a glimpse of at least a few displays out and about before the official start of the festival!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Both are great on their own but a combination of the two will make for an amazing experience!
