Day One Recap of the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival! #EpcotFresh

March 3, 2016

It’s that time again! Spring has sprung at Epcot with the beginning of their yearly Flower and Garden Festival.  Epcot in the Springtime is truly gorgeous, it’s a perfect time to bring your camera and walk around to capture the sights.  Also, it’s a great time for foodies to sample some snacks that they normally can’t find throughout the year at Epcot’s World Showcase.

The various topiaries are pretty much all over Epcot from the time you walk through the gates. This year we have our favorite ducks at the entrance.  As you walk towards World Showcase, you’ll see Mickey Mouse, some beautiful butterflies near the butterfly tent, and Minnie and Pluto at the opening of World Showcase.  It’s all just beautiful.

As you walk through World Showcase, you can smell the aroma of the goodies cooking at the various food booths.  There are extra stops for guests to get their foodie fix as they’re walking and enjoying all the festival has to offer.  One of our favorites is the Smokehouse over in the America Pavilion.  The brisket is awesome!
