TRANSCRIPT
Epcot®, a beautiful park of discoveries no matter what the season, really springs to life during the 18th Annual Epcot® International Flower & Garden Festival Presented by HGTV.
This year’s 75-day festival, which runs through May 15, offers the perfect opportunity to help you plan your spring and summer gardening, with special tips and techniques shared by many of HGTV’s on-air and nationally recognized designers. Add that to the richly-hued roses, petunias, violas and other colorful fl owers throughout the park at this time of year, and we’re all in for a real sight to behold!
And speaking of sights to see, along with many returning festival favorites, I can’t wait for you to experience the brand new elements, including new topiary characters from the Disney•Pixar fi lm, Toy Story 3. With a nod to Winnie the Pooh (coming to theaters this summer), you’ll also get a glimpse into the Hundred Acre Wood with Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger and Friends, in an innovative and fun display of topiary show gardens between Future World and World Showcase. Then, with a sneak peak at this summer’s hottest movie, Cars 2, Lightning McQueen and Mater will welcome you to World Showcase in all their topiary glory.
Also new this year in the topiary-fi lled Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden, there will be special meet-and-greet experiences with Tinker Bell, her friend Rosetta, the Garden Fairy, Vidia, the fastest fl ying fairy, and Terence, the Pixie Dust fairy – all here to help welcome spring to the mainland, and the festival. Right next door is even more wing action in Bambi’s Butterfl y House. This year’s presentation has almost tripled in size with more space to wander among and enjoy hundreds of beautiful native butterfl ies.
Whether it’s informative and entertaining presentations from our nationally recognized garden personalities, or the Flower Power Concert Series featuring popular performers of the 60s, the 70s and a touch of the 80’s era, I hope this year’s festival blossoms into memories that will last a lifetime!
