Today we've got an update from the kick-off of the Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT. Lots of great topiaries to see this year along with the traidional food and wine booths. 

​We'll also hop over to Disney's Animal Kingdom for a quick visit to take in Rivers of Light again.

​Tonight we are also making a quick stop at Epcot to see some of the Flower & Garden Festival that just started recently.

​The character topiaries are always a highlight of the festival. Looks great so far!

​And let's not forget the food & drinks! At Urban Farm Eats, I tried the Crabless Cake with Wildflower pale ale.

​The Berry Basket is new this year. Might have to make a stop there next visit!

Florida Fresh is a favorite stop of mine, mainly for the beer!

​Chocolate cake at the Smokehouse is amazing!

They have a great selection of merchandise for the festival. Loving all the Figment. I might have bought the Mickey ears.​

Epcot looks just beautiful this time of year.​

​During sunset is a lovely time to take a walk around and smell the flowers at Epcot.

​And when the sun goes down, the topiaries all light up and it is also quite magical.

Enjoyed our short visit to Epcot for a bit of Flower & Garden Festival fun. Since it runs through May, we'll definitely be back!​

Extreme park hopping! Now we're at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Really love this park at night.​

After a pretty significant delay, Rivers of Light at Disney's Animal Kingdom is now in "Soft Open" mode. The new show is about 15 minutes long and hasn't really had a whole lot of changes from it's previews last year. 
​
Below we've got a full video of the new show as well as some pictures. Enjoy!!

Like every other site that tried to upload our video to YouTube we were hit with a copyright notice due to the music.

But because we aren't just about "views" we upgraded the site last year in case of situations like this (which are likely to become more commonplace). So we now have the ability to embed HD videos, so enjoy!!

That means you have to subscribe to our YouTube channel if you haven't yet. ;) 
Rivers of Light is now shorter than an earlier preview we saw of it. It's a beautiful show and a lovely fit for DAK. ​

Glad to see that Rivers of Light has a more prominent finale now. The technology used in this show is amazing to see. ​
