I think it's mostly just walking past and admiring...do you have to pick? The butterfly enclosure is very good, and really all of the topiaries are first rate! As far as the bands go, I haven't seen either, but they both would be fun to hear.

I've Paul Revere & The Raiders and it was a good show. Teens might enjoy them a bit more. Also over in Canada they have "Off Kilter" playing and "British Invasion" in England. My DSs always like hearing them.
We're going to see "The Grassroots" and "The Guess Who" in May at the F&G. DS didn't want to see the butterflies last year. This year we will if I can help it. Can't wait to see all of the amazing topiaries again.

Epcot is preparing, there are bushes serving as privacy screens all around!

We'll see The Turtles and the Boxtops in around a month!
