2020 Epcot's International Flower and Garden Festival

Unfortunately not many people are going to get to experience Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival this year.     It was only running for 10-or-so days before Walt Disney World parks shut down to limit the spread of COVID-19.  Our trip was booked months ahead of time and the concept of social distancing was coming into play towards the end of our trip. Luckily we left Orlando for home on schedule, before the announcement of the park closures.

Overall impressions:  Same festival, different year.   With Epcot's construction a few things were out of place and there wasn't the usual grand display at the park entrance.  The butterfly house was between The Land and Imagination.

Things we experienced
  • We played Spike's Pollen-Nation Exploration scavenger hunt game.
  • Enjoyed the temporary entertainment in Canada - Marc Angers and FriendsThis is the best act we've seen in the Canadian Pavilion since the departure of Off-Kilter.
  • Took in 3 Garden Rock Shows:   Peabo Bryson in the front row, The Orchestra featuring former members of ELO, and The Guess Who.
  • Ate or drank something from most of the festival food booths.   
  • Had dinner with friends at Takumi-Tei, the newish restaurant in the Japan Pavilion.  We had excellent service and food.    Our table enjoyed the omakase (tasting) menu along with wine/sake pairing.





We put together a 20 minute video from our festival experience which includes all the locations of Spike's hiding spots, some topiary characters, Marc Angers and Friends, and bits from the three Garden Rocks artists we watched.

  5. The thing that matters is clear when one analyzes the climate of the dance club and the music one finds there with the raised climate of the expressive dance or drama and its music. Food Events

  10. The most superb Christmas lights are as a matter of fact holding tight the enormous walls of the high rises along the 2 sides of the Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong.
