Be sure you have your camera and spend a lot of time in Epcot just strolling around. The flowers and topiaries are awesome. Also, enjoy the Flower Power concerts in the theater across from the American Adventure.

Plan to spend lots of time at Epcot - it's absolutely stunning at that time of the year and take plenty of photos.

My favorite Festival, so many beautiful topiaries, flowers and hidden gardens....
So make sure you have extra film or memory sticks for your camera....
especially at Epcot during the F&G Festival, I hear this year it has a Nautical Theme......

Great pictures Brad! I was there during F&G last year and saw a lot of it, but clearly missed quite a bit too! We will be back at the same time this year. Where is the butterfly house?
