2/23 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Prep – Topiaries, Flowers, Butterfly Tent

Hi everyone!

I went to Fort Wilderness this morning to time my Fort Wilderness Photo Walk (200 photos up now), and planned to run into Epcot briefly for Epcot Flower and Garden Festival preview photos. I figured I'd make a quick sweep of World Showcase and then head out – but instead, I found many topiaries already in place!

The Epcot Flower and Garden Festival will run from March 7, 2012 through May 20, 2012.

We will have video tomorrow that I shot as well, I'll link to it in the morning (the video is now posted as of Friday night). Jeff is off at Daytona today and won't have time until at least tonight to edit it. 

This will be the 6th year that Mousesteps has brought you the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival! Check out our 2011 coverage! We'll have full Festival coverage once it's open.
