Flower and garden festival...2016 info

[Ckmommy72]

Anybody know when we can expect the menus/schedules to be released? Or where can I find the info if it's already been released? I've looked and can't seem to find anything for 2016. The blogs seem to still have 2015 info up.

Seems like it should already be out with the festival only 52 days away...

It seems like last year new info wasn't released until right before opening.

I've only seen the dates so far, with 15 additional days added compared to last year's schedule.

Thanks... have been to food and wine a couple times and recall info coming out well in advance... Figured it would be the same.

We arrive on March 3rd, so I was hoping for time to obsess...er..plan.

You'd have to look up concert dates for bands you think may be scheduled. Here are a few that have dates on their website.
Only Disney knows if these dates are subject to change.

3-11 Star Ship w/Mickey Thomas
3-18 Little River Band
3 25 The Village People
4-1 Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits)
4-8 The Guess Who
4-15 Blood Sweat & Tears
5-6 Gin Blossoms

Oh wow! The Village People are going to be there the night we arrive. Does that mean they'll be there all weekend, or do the acts change each night?

 

[Candlelady]

I believe they play Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Someone will chime in if I'm wrong.

I am also looking for some info. on the first week of the F&G. I was hoping they would at the very least be taking bookings for the tours. We will be at Disney from Feb. 23- March 3 so right at the start. I've also asked a couple of times if they will have a soft opening a day before, does anyone know?

There were no soft openings in 2013. We were there on opening day and nothing has been open prior to that day

Looking to see whose playing May 6th-15th for the Garden Rocks series myself.

Thanks for the reply. That kind of sucks but we will have one full day at least. Last year we went the last week of Feb. and they did have a lot of the topiaries out around EPCOT that were neat to see. Hubby got a new camera so I'm sure he will have fun. I'm just surprised that the F&W you hear about for months before but this is only six weeks away and nothing so far. I know the F&G is much smaller so maybe that is part of it.

Those will be out so they are in place and ready when it opens

Looking for this info as well.....Subscribing.

 

[Ladyfish77]

Subscribing. So glad they added days!

 

[SUSIEQ]

Anxiously waiting for info!

4-15 Blood Sweat & Tears

This seems strangely appropriate for Tax Day!

 

[Candleshoe]

This will be my first Flower and Garden. Is it like Food & Wine?

thanks

 

[jockey]

Waiting for info too!

 

[JulieODC]

Can't wait for more details -- we'll be there the day it opens!
