And we learned about gardening challenges in the Festival Center, bringing home another Epcot Flower and Garden reusable bag. Our project was to plant calocasia bulbs (also known as the "elephant ear" plant) to take home.  These are my favorite plants in Florida, so I hope I have a green enough thumb to grow them!

Tomorrow the Lego Imagination Center re-opens at Downtown Disney!  We'll be there to check it out, as well as the re-opened store, Little Miss Matched.
