The 2004 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival Celebrates 11 Years of Fantastic Flowers!
Spring into the planting season at the eleventh annual EpcotInternational Flower & Garden Festival this April 16 - June 6, 2004. It is definitely going to be a time to welcome spring with a concentrated dose of beauty as we celebrate Magical Gatherings. You will find wildly exotic flower displays gracing Epcot from the newly decorated gardens at Spaceship Earth to each country around World Showcase. And you'll be able to tap the expertise of top horticulturists who will share gardening tips, demonstrate new backyard planting ideas and showcase millions of blooms from thousands of species from around the world. Join us at the America Gardens Theatre as Epcot brings you internationally known entertainers who will perform "under the stars" as they bring you music from the 60's and 70's. Don't forget to make your reservation for our scrumptious "Mother's Day Weekend" brunch on May 8thand 9th. Space is limited. Call 407-WDW-DINE for priority seating.
