**Continued from previous**
We made our way past Mouse Gears and the Electric Umbrella. We had to talk about the time we saw the guy unconscious on the ground outside here. It was so scary. Luckily, there was a nurse walking by and she stopped to try and help him while the paramedics were on the way. Never did hear anything about him, so he mustve been okay. Poor guy.
While we were walking up to TT, we saw that FPs were still available! Score! You see, when we go in the summer, you never know if there will be FPs left or not. Our return time was 2:55 3:55. Perfect. Our Le Cellier ADR is for 2:05, so we decided TT will be our first thing to do afterwards. And hope we dont puke. HAHA.
With FPs in hand, we headed to the first F&G thing we saw, which ended up being Princess Tianas Wedding Bayou. I have to say, Princess and the Frog is such a cute movie! I just watched it for the first time a few weeks ago with the little guy. He loved it too!
It was basically just a little path you walk through and look at the different flowers. There is also a scene with the characters from the movie.
Next, we headed to the Fairy Garden. I was SO excited to see Tink!
One of Tinks friends. Forgive me, I dont know her name. I still havent seen the movie. I have a hard time accepting that Tink talks. HAHA. I guess Im just old school and like her in Peter Pan better.
From there, we walked into the butterfly house. It was so neat in there!
Outside on the other side of the butterfly house:
We turned around and right at that moment, a monorail was going by! Ironically, it happened to also be the monorail we rode to Epcot on! Heres also an upclose view of the flower design we took a pic of from the monorail:
As you leave the butterfly house area, you see this pretty design:
When we were done there, we decided to ride SE.
Theres the fountain again. It was windy and the water was COLD when it hit you!:
While we were walking, I stopped by one a pin trading cart and grabbed a F&G Festival brochure. The CM noticed our buttons and congratulated us. He asked us if this was our first time at the F&G Festival and we told him it was. He told us a little about that, then he asked us if we had been to Epcot before. We told him yes, and he asked when was the last time, so we said June. Evidently, there is a new thing Innoventions called The Sum of All Thrills. Its a robotic arm and you sit at the end. A little thing comes down over you and you basically are building your own ride. We thanked him for the info and said we would check it out.
Were almost there!:
Oh my gosh, it was so windy and cold in line! Everyone who had hoods on had them up. It was definitely weird freezing in WDW. Were used to being all gross and sweaty. HA. Luckily, the line is always moving, so it didnt take us long to get on. Of course, the ride was nice as always. Our video of the future was hilarious. We spent some time looking around at all the neat interaction activities you can do once you get off the ride.
When we made our way back outside, we saw Scar and Zazu:
We were near Innoventions, so we decided to find The Sum of All Thrills.
Yeah
definitely wont be riding THAT! Im crazy claustrophobic. The wait to ride was 60 minutes! Im sure its fun for those who like that sort of thing. We headed back outside to check out the wait time for Nemo.
Some more pretty flowers:
We made our way up to Nemo and saw that they were already weaving outside!! Plus, theres more weaving inside! So we decided to skip that and make our way to The Land.
Fiancé liked this tree:
We seriously could not get over how beautiful all the flowers were:
Then, we made our way up the annoying ramp and into The Land.
~Up next:
More of our Epcot morning and our lunch ADR at Le Cellier
We had never made it to the parks early but last year on our Feb trip I made it a point to make an 8:20 ADR for Crystal Palace and just test us out - we loved it!! Not just CP but getting there early, the quietness, the stillness, the freshness...we stayed on that trip in my very favorite WL, and waiting for the boat on the dock that morning is one of my best memories from that trip. 
Now, we are converts on early mornings, only in Disney of course. 
I've been thinking about getting them at Capt. Cooks just to try them - we love Poly so much and usually spend a lot of time there and eat there several times on our trips. Yup, that's what I'll do. 
I'm sorry! 
weeks from today I will be almost to Jill's house and we will be leaving for Disney World! 
Just realizing we are at the three week mark, and then coming home to find your pictures of flowers and fountains...life is good right at this moment.
