Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival

Saturday, April 6, 2019

After our Hollywood Studios visit we took a short rest at the hotel. While there, we also looked at the weather forecast for the rest of the week and realized that our planned Epcot day might involve a good deal of rain.   That wasn't ideal since we were really looking forward to walking through World Showcase to see all the flowers and topiaries. So, after a little break we headed to Epcot.

There were so many pretty topiaries and flowers it was hard to pick just a few for this post.  But here's my best effort:
   
   
   
   
The best part of our early Epcot adventure was our stop for Orange Bird drinks!  These were special for the Flower and Garden Festival and I was really hoping to find them.  They had an orange cream drink in them and it was so yummy.  Daniel passed on the bird in favor of a beer.  Shocking, I know. 
After our topiary tour and Orange Bird drinks, we were able to get a FastPass for Soarin' then we grabbed dinner in Sunshine Seasons.  Then it was time to head back and let Daniel get some sleep for the half marathon in the morning.  But first, a photo op with the Epcot ball (Spaceship Earth) and then a stop for ice cream at Ample  Hills Creamery on the Boardwalk on our way home!  You always sleep better with Disney ice cream in your tummy.
