 Today we've got a fantastic report from the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. If it seems like the last festival at Epcot just ended, that's because it did. But we can't think of another park that does Festivals so awesome so we'll keep letting it slide. =) Enjoy!! Written by Renée Girard (click any picture below to see a larger version) It’s a beautiful day for a walk around the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival!  It’s pretty much a requirement to get a festival passport when attending these seasonal events.  Get a close look at all different types of butterflies and flowers in the Butterfly Haven
The festival merchandise is nice and colorful, and features fan favorites like Figment and Orange Bird. And a rose gold spirit jersey, of course. 
 The Spaceship Earth orange themed hat and shirt are pretty cool looking.  The character topiaries look fantastic as always   New this year is the Honey Bee-stro. The roasted cauliflower dish is quite tasty.    Plenty of drink options, and luckily for me, most have beer flights. At Northern Bloom near Canada, I got the beers from Unibroue.   Another yummy beer flight at the Florida Fresh booth. 
 Highly recommend the warm chocolate cake at the Smokehouse! 
More beer in Germany! And cheese strudel. All good!
 Snow White and the seven dwarves topiary in Germany.   Disney topiaries around the world! 
 The plants and flowers in Mexico at Epcot are like a rain forest and look amazing.   Had a wonderful day checking out some of what this year’s Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot has to offer.  Related Updates:  This past weekend our very own Renée ran her 10th Princess Half Marathon and is among a very elite group of "Perfect Princesses". But we already knew that. =) Congrats to Renée and all of the runners. Written by Renée Girard It’s just after 4am here on the east coast, and we just arrived at Epcot for the 10th anniversary of Disney’s Princess Half Marathon!  We just took a big group photo of all of the “Perfect Princesses”, aka people who have run the Princess Half every year!  At the starting line with several thousand other runners way before the crack of dawn.   The Princess Half announcers are on stage and getting the crowd warmed up. We’ll be heading out in just about 20 minutes!
Always great to see Jeff Galloway in the corrals before a Disney race!  Cinderella’s fairy godmother whipped up some fireworks and sent runners out on the 10th annual Disney Princess Half Marathon.  A nice morning jog at sunrise through the Magic Kingdom.  Belle and Gaston were greeting runners this morning outside of his tavern for the Princess Half  Congrats to all who participated in the WDW Princess Half this weekend! We had a blast and will be back once again next year!  Related Updates: |
