Mickey, Minnie and Pluto

A visit to Epcot is always a fun and cultural experience and around this time of year, a flower-filled one, as well.  The park really springs to life during the Annual Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, a 75-day event presented by HGTV.

Winnie the Pooh and Friends

So while the kids had a blast on Mission: Space and Test Trak (zooming around in rocket ships and race cars is more their style than ours!), we had fun snapping pictures of our favorite Disney characters and strolling through the gardens.

We hope that some of the beauty we saw at Epcot will rub off on our own gardening efforts this year and perhaps turn our black thumbs to a lighter shade of green!  Who knows, there might be a new topiary or two in the yard come summer…
