Flower and Garden Festival must do's?

[steg]

Are there any must do/eat/see things at the Flower and Garden festival that you personally would make time to do?

The Concerts and munching at the food kiosks. There used to be a musical group called Mulch, Sweat and Shears that performed in DHS, don't know if they still do, been a few years for us.

Great question. This will be our first time there and wonder if there are certain things to look out for. Daughter is 8 so we'll definitely be checking out some topiaries.

 

[recmouse]

We love going into the butterfly tent!

 

[disneyfor3]

I agree about the butterfly tent. It's been years since we've gone to flower and garden and are excited to be going back. My son was around 8 last time. He loved the special playgrounds they had set up and definitely loved the butterfly tent. Back when we went they had special activity stations for the kids too. Not sure if they still do that.

Eating around the booths, looking at all the details of the topiaries.

Like other of my favorite WDW entertainment (Off Kilter) - Mulch, Sweat and Shears got the axe.

I just enjoy all of the additional flowers at Epcot. The many topiaries are lovely, too.

Stay out of the butterfly tent if you have allergies.

Smell the roses--really rows of them (I just love this)......then shop for that special must have garden souvenir.(I like the Figment garden t-shirt)...then start
nibbling your way around the food booths. Check out the Twinings Tea tour........then take some selfies with the beautiful Topiaries.
I'm coming from Canada and just being able to walk around flowers and gardens without 4 layers of clothing is a treat.
Just a few more weeks for me to wait. I just finished making my granddaughter a passport for Easter Around The World--homemade.
Epcot 's Easter Egg Hunt is returning this year...(March 1-May 29) YEAH!!!!(I think there is a small price to do this.$5.99)
Have fun planning

Is the Butterfly tent open late hours? We will be doing a 1 park day trip during the Flower and Garden Festival--currently we plan to have morning in the Magic Kingdom, early afternoon at HS, and will probably make it over to Epcot around 4 or 5 pm (we have a 6:45 dinner ADR.) The day we go also happens to be evening EMH at Epcot until 11 pm

Last year we did the Easter Egg hunt and it was a complete blast. My son can't wait to do it again this year. It is really hard in some countries but the cast members will give you hints if you ask them. I sure hope they hide them in different spots each year! Does anyone know?

What is the Twinings Tea tour? Thank you!

The little garden behind the Twinnings shop in GB has different tea plants. You can take a guided tour of the area (free) or you can wander around there yourself.
