3/3/2010 – Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Opening Day – Part 1

Hi everyone!

Today was the opening of the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival.  The weather is getting a lot cooler for the next couple of days, but hopefully everything survives until our weekend warm-up! Epcot was busier than I'd seen it this week, but not too crowded for taking photos.

The opening topiary is about "Celebrating the Great Outdoors".   It started raining while I was taking photos in the morning, so the pictures are from two different times.  I think the topiary looks magnificent! The characters featured are Goofy, Pluto, Donald and Daisy.  There is even a waterfall!  We have a video of this – thanks to Jeff at JeffLangeDVD (the best in current and vintage theme park DVD's), who took the footage for our combined YouTube channel. (note – on March 9th, I put up the second part of the photos!)
