I can't wait to watch your video! I would like to take my mom to the Flower and Garden Show next year, anything that we must simply do or not miss? I've never been and my mom hasn't been to Disney since 1983, so it will be all new to us! Thanks!

Flower-wise be sure to walk around the entire park to take in the beauty and the topiaries. For the food and drinks, our favorite foods were the shrimp & grits (Florida Fresh) and the Scallops (Northern Bloom). They may change next year but the shrimp and grits have been there a while now. Have a good time!

How crowded is Epcot during this time?

How crowded is Epcot during this time?

It depends on when you go. Spring break time is quite crowded as is the week before and after Easter. We went the first week of March which was moderate. Depending on when Easter hits, late April and early May during the festival can also be moderate. Otherwise it's a pretty heavy crowd time of the year!

We'll be going in May for our 4th consecutive Flower & Garden festival. How was the merchandise? A few years ago they had much more merchandise for actual use in gardens than they have had the past year or two. I heard that they were returning some actual gardening merchandise, any truth to that?

I'm sure it all depends on what you want but merchandise seemed limited to me. They did have a few yard statues. A couple of figment and one of mickey. I think they had wind chimes but not sure. I got a flower pot. We have a haul video coming out this Friday at 2pm EST where we show all the Flower & Garden stuff we bought. If you subscribe to our channel you'll see it when it comes out.

My wife and I will be there this coming weekend. I've seen a lot of reviews that show the people using the orange wrist band gift card. Is that thing necessary? What are the benefits if it's not necessary?

No, it's not necessary. I used my magic band because I was staying at a Disney Resort and I had charging privileges. If you are not staying at a Disney resort, this won't work. You could use a credit card or cash or any Disney gift card of course, but some folks find the wrist gift card handy. You can load it with a specific amount, and this would help you stay within your budget.

It's not necessary. If you aren't staying on property, it's very convenient, but if you are staying at a WDW resort and have a credit card on file your magic band can work the same way. The only difference is with a magic band you have to enter a pin each time and the gift wrist band you do not. Also, if you want to put a self-imposed limit on your spending you can use the gift card to do so. For example put $100 on it and then when that's gone, you're done.

Our haul video is out now & we got a few items from Flower & Garden.
