Just found your TR, great job! ( I'm from MKE area too...HI!)

Went to Flower and Garden last march for an all girls trip with my DD, mom, and MIL. Epcot is so beautiful with all the topiaries! We had a blast!!

Thanks!

I loved getting to see the topiaries.

We've been evac'd from the PeopleMover (pretty cool) and Winnie the Pooh (AWESOME!!!). I'm definitely one of those who goes all fangirl crazy about the behind the scenes stuff, and the couple of times we've been on Spaceship Earth when it's stopped or slowed significantly, I've had my fingers crossed.

Nice! It was definitely cool to get evacuated but I was hoping for a better scene.

I've never been evac'd either. The most exciting thing I saw was the lights on in Space Mountain when rolling through on the PeopleMover.

Maybe I will see that later too......

Maybe you won't have to or maybe you will

Congrats on your first ride evacuation! (I actually don't remember if I've ever been evac'd ... I think not)

I don't think I will ever get tired of looking at pictures of Flower & Garden topiaries. They're so beautiful and creative.

I loved taking pictures of the topiaries. They are really great aspects of the festivals.

Did you get to see anything cool when you were evacuated?
More beautiful pictures from F & G
Looking forward to your Edison review

Not really other than the descent with the lights on.

Thanks!

I try The Edison!

I ended up going out the front of the park and took the first bus I saw, Coronado Springs. I had never been to this resort before so it was cool to see it even for five minutes.

I was soon on my way to Disney Springs. I had a 12:30PM ADR.

I checked in and waited to be seated. The restaurant was pretty empty and I only waited about 5-10 but I found it weird that I waited at all to be seated.

I sat down below near the bar area.

On some of the walls they have cartoon shorts playing during lunch.

I couldn't decide on any of the mocktails so I just went with an iced tea. I also decided no appetizer even though I did want to try some of them.

For my meal I ordered The Edison burger.

Overall it was very good. I would definitely order this again. The server said the pepper served with it was very hot but I didn't eat it anyways because I don't eat peppers.

I really enjoyed the theming of the restaurant and the food. Service was good and the bar area seemed pretty great for those interested in that. I hope to come back here soon and try other items or see some of the entertainment.

After eating lunch I walked around a bit and decided to grab some dessert. I had yet to try Amorrette's so I gave that a try.

I got the Mickey Mouse dome cheesecake.

IMG_3511 by Ryan Teetz, on Flickr

Wow was this good! I was expecting a typical generic type cheesecake but it was one of the best I have had. I will be back there again for sure.

I headed to Magic Kingdom next!

IMG_3513 by Ryan Teetz, on Flickr

What do I do first? Peoplemover of course!

IMG_3514 by Ryan Teetz, on Flickr

Space Mountain was down while I was riding so I was excited to see if the lights were on inside... Low and behold they were!

How cool to see it with the lights on! Now next bucket list item: riding with the lights on.

A new popcorn bucket had arrived at Walt Disney World recently and I had to have it.

Next order of business was Hall of Presidents!

IMG_3527 by Ryan Teetz, on Flickr

I was very pleased with the changes they made and keeping it a very patriotic show. At this time they still had security stationed inside. Luckily no booing or anything disruptive during the show.

I went off to my favorite show in Magic Kingdom, Country Bear Jamboree!

My favorite character in this show, Big Al!

After the show was over I headed for some more fun before fireworks, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! Its the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!

Up Next: Its a crowded Happily Ever After

Can't wait to try the Edison! I have never seen Country Bears, but we will next time. I've listened to some music from it though. Evac'd AND a glimpse of SM with lights? Nice!

WHAT!?!? Go to Country Bears immediately! Lol

I really want to try the Edison and I also need to get a dessert one day at Amorettes. I rode space mountain with the lights on in August and it’s a really cool experience if you’ve ridden space mountain a bunch of times. Also Hall of Presidents is such a great attraction and a must do for me every time. I also really liked what they did in the lobby area.

I highly recommend both!

Lucky!

I didn’t get to check out the lobby so much this time.

I've been following along for your TR. That popcorn bucket is a must-have!

I know I had to get it!

I know I had to get it!

I hope I can find one next week! It reminds me of the balloon that my Disney Barbie holds.
It's a special edition Barbie from the late 80's or early 90's.
