One of my favorite times of the year to visit Walt Disney World is during the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival presented by HGTV March 7- May 20, 2012. Not only can you see beautiful flowers, unique Disney topiaries, you can also hear some great bands.
This year's theme is Fantasia. You will be in awe as you look at the 8 foot tall floral Sorcerer Mickey topiary standing on top of a 12 foot floral Mountain topiary. Mickey will be directing characters from the Fantasia movie such as the broomstick and alligator also done in beautiful flowers and topiaries.
If you have a green thumb or not you will enjoy getting gardening tips from not only Epcot's gardening experts but this year you will be able to get them from Sabrina Soto and Geneviere Gorder from HGTV just to name a few of the special guest speakers. In addition to the special guest appearances, HGTV will also have twice a day the Gardening at Home series, where guest can join workshops and take home their gardening project.
You will be amazed when you see some of your favorite Disney characters made into topiaries. Be on the look out for Buzz Light Year and some of the cast from Toy Story 3, you may even see Lotso. Your little princess will squeal with delight when she looks and sees Belle from Beauty and the Beast or Tinker Bell made into topiaries. This is just a few of the many characters you will see.
One of the not to miss at the Flower & Garden Festival is the Bambi Butterfly House. Now 3 times larger then the original house you will walk through hundreds of butterflies and see some of your favorite Bambi characters in topiaries.
When you are ready to relax you can take in some music with the Flower Power Concert Series. You can hear some legends perform such as Chubby Checker and Davey Jones.
