Epcot Flower & Garden Festival

We've been to the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival twice this year. Had great weather both times. We arrived there early, before the crowds started to come in. The topiaries are amazing and my 3 year old Owen really enjoys looking at them. However, there are a few other things he enjoys that you can only see during the festival.

1. Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden: Really neat playground for children 2-5. 

2. Main Playground: If you're standing in front of the Lightning Mcqueen topiary make a right. You'll see this unusual structure on your right. This playground is a bit larger than the previous one and has lots to climb on and some fun music playing in the background, which Owen seemed  to really enjoy.

3. Bambi's Butterfly House: In here you can of course see... butterflies! However, I thought the best part was seeing the caterpillars. Everyone's read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and seen how he becomes a butterfly at the end of the story. I think being able to explain to your child the process while standing right in front of real caterpillars and surrounded by butterflies is priceless.

After doing all these, we go on to do some of Owen's other favorite things at Epcot.
