Epcot this year will celebrate 24 years of the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival this spring.
The 2017 event kicks off March 1 and runs through May 29. During the festival, guests can enjoy new outdoor kitchens and take topiaries designed after Disney characters.
Topiaries designed after Anna and Elsa will grace the landscape at the Norway Pavilion in celebration of the Frozen Ever After attraction. The new attraction displaced the fan favorite Malstrom attraction.
Meanwhile, colorful gardens will line the path to The Land Pavilion where guests can discover Soarin’ Around the World. The favorite attraction now takes guests to new heights with scenes from Sydney, Australia, the Great Wall of China and other destinations around the globe.
Sightseers’ Delight started publishing in June 2016. The site, published by The DeFeo Groupe, collects and curates content about places where historical events large and small happened. The site builds off the legacy of The Travel Trolley, which launched in June 2009. The site aimed to be a virtual version of the trolley tours offered in so many cities.
