No matter what the weather is like where you live, Spring will definitely be in the air at Walt Disney World when this year’s EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival begins on March 1. Blooming once again through July 5, this stunning festival will feature alluring gardens, whimsical topiaries, lively entertainment, beautiful merchandise and delightfully fresh cuisine.
There will be some new things this year too! For the first time, topiaries of Mirabel, Antonio, Isabela and Luisa from Disney’s “Encanto” will make a grand appearance at the festival. Located near the EPCOT main entrance, these new topiaries are sure to be a must-do photo moment to mark your visit. (Just remember: We don’t talk about Bruno.) Read more
