It’s Spring at Disney and so as happens every year, Epcot is hosting the annual Flower and Garden Festival for all of the ticket holding guests. There is no extra fee for the Flower and Garden Festival, just the cost of a regular admission park ticket. However there is more to enjoy than just the beautiful topiaries and flowers. Like the Food and Wine Festival in the fall, the Flower and Garden Festival boasts food booths around the world showcase. This could be a nightmare for someone with a food allergy – having to see the glorious mouth watering food and unable to eat it.

The thing is, so much was packed into that week that I just couldn’t include it all in my trip report breakdowns. Instead, I’m going to go back and pick them out and tell you all about them.

Disney with Special Needs: Trip Report Part 7
Can you believe that it’s the end of our trip already? It never feels like a trip to Disney is long enough.
