5/7 MK and Epcot Photo Update

[napnet]

We went for my wife's birthday with the intent of just enjoying the parks without trying to do too many rides. Crowds were not that bad and the Flower and Garden Expo was amazing. Space Mountain was closed for awhile and the lights were on as well. Here are the images, click on them to see larger ones

I couldn't find the 'Nature on the Rocks' guy so no pictures of them The decorations and plants at Epcot were amazing.

I would highly recommend getting the Birthday buttons when you go on your birthday. My wife loved every CM telling her happy birthday everywhere we went. I'll be back down there in 2 weeks

BTW, how's Tallahassee. I moved from there a year ago and miss the place. You look somewhat familiar. I'm wondering if I ever knew you from anywhere, but my memory sure aint what it used to be.

 

[trr313]

Thanks for the update. Makes me wish I was there. I cannot wait until my next vacation there.

 

[xtimMOOthyx]

I can't wait either! 3 days until I leave for WDW!

Happy B-Day to your wife! :wave:

 

[supapampam]

[LouDisney]

Thanks for the update!

I saw a few rabbits eating the displays!

Who needs the vegetables from The Land when you have good fresh eatin' like this!

By the way thanks for the update!

 

[shopgirl]

The pictures are lovely-- are there displays with the flowers all throughout EPCOT or is it in a specific area-- we will be there in 2 weeks and just wanted to know!
Happy Birthday to your wife!

It was pretty much all over Epcot. Alot of the sculputres were spread out around the park. Be sure to bring your allergie medican if you are allergic! I'll be there the 20th and 21st as well so look for me

Thanks for the tip-- already called in my scrip for Allegra! Had a funny feeling i would need it! So excited to go!

Thanks for the pics. My friend always makes fun of me because I -have- to get pictures of myself with the beautiful flowers in the parks. Seeing your pics really makes me want to go to the Flower and Garden expo one day.

Great pics, thank for sharing. With the exception of the star, they all look the same from year after year - only placed in different locations. How about some Pixar topiaries? The green army men and the little 3-eyed green aliens from Toy Story shouldn't be hard to create.

I'm not really complaining - it's just that I go to the flower and garden festival almost every year so I'd like to see some new topiaries.

Thanks again and Happy Birthday to your wife (and to you soon)!
