Flower and Garden Festival

The Flower and Garden Festival started on Wednesday (March 6) and will run through May 19. The Flower and Garden Festival is my favorite time to be at Epcot. I love all the flowers and topiaries. I have to say, I didn't enjoy it as much this year as I have in the past. It felt incomplete. I wanted to see more flowers and different topiaries. I didn't care for the butterfly house. It's now fairies themed and I really missed the Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden. That's always one of my favorite parts of the Flower and Garden Festival. I was not impressed with the main display in front of Spaceship Earth. I think they could have come up with something much better for the 20th anniversary other than using some of the same topiaries that are out year after year.

I noticed quite a few things that are normally there were missing. There was no sand sculpture, no Bambi topiaries, no Fantasia topiaries, no garden, the butterfly house didn't have a sign on it, the Chinese zodiac displays were not out, and there was a lack of flowers.

I did enjoy the Flower and Garden Festival though. Everything they had out looked beautiful. I liked that they moved around some of the topiaries. Though, I wish they moved around more of them because certain ones are in the same spots year after year. I thought it was clever to put Peter Pan on the roof of a building in the UK. I really liked the Monsters University display. I look forward to going back again to see if they've added anything new.

This year, they have added food booths. I have no interest in them but I did take pictures of the menus.
