Flower and Garden Festival - Opening Day

[Horizonstta]

I am planning on spending the day in EPCOT on Wednesday for the start of the Flower and Garden Festival. Last year, the grand opening ceremony was held on opening day. However, according to the WDW website, the opening celebration is not scheduled until April 5th (see below). This seems strange to me. Does anyone know if the information on the website is incorrect?


Premiere March 21-23
Join us Thursday, April 5th in Showcase Plaza at 10:00 a.m. for the Grand Opening Celebration of the 14th Annual Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival!

A bit odd, but considering the extended length of the festival, that would make sense.

Thanks for the post. But unless I just skimmed right over it, I don't see any mention of the opening ceremony on either date.
