Positive aspects of the product (pros): Butterfly garden, Cons:
Not as many displays as past years. The park looks beautiful with all the flowers. The toparies are very creative and look realistic.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Beautiful displays! Cons: Construction areas distract from rest of the park
The Flower and Garden festival shows EPCOT at her best. Gardens and planters are full of gorgeous flowers and topiaries, and the whole park feels fresh-scrubbed and shiny and new.
We arrived to visit at the beginning of the event, and many of the displays seemed a bit bit young and needed a few days to mature.
We would have liked to have seen more information on the Festival around the park - had we not known about it before we arrived, we never would have realized it was going on...

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Amazing Colors, Butterfly Garden, Topiaries Cons:
The Flower and Garden Festival really puts another layer of color and grandeur on an already beautiful park. From the gorgeously planned gardens, the color on the lawns around the World Showcase lagoon, and the topiaries, be prepared to be amazed.
I attended the F&G Festival back in 2007 and had a fabulous day. I understand they've scaled it back a bit this year, but I'm sure it still looks fantastic.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Very pretty displays Cons:
The large bands of colorful flowers are beautiful, especially from the monorail as it circles around Future World.
The butterfly garden was a delight, and Tinkerbell's Fairy garden was really cute and creative.
Also, the additional play areas set up are really fun for kids.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Beautfiul displays Cons: Some displays aren't exclusive to the festival
I loved the Cinderellabration theme this year, and the entrance was truly grand! I was a little surprised to see the Fantasia Mickey topiary and Snow White topiary were exact replicas of the ones at DHS. I also believe the Minnie topiary outside of the butterfly garden was a carbon copy from MK. But, I really enjoyed the butterfly garden, and Pixie Hollow was absolutely adorable! I also really loved looking for all of the topiaries in each of the countries. I would definitely look forward to this if I were going to be there while the festival was happening, but I wouldn't plan a trip just to see it.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Spring is here Cons:
Maybe it is because it is a sign that springtime is here again, but F&G takes Epcot to a new level. The amount of detail and planning that goes into upgrading for the festival is staggering. Great floral backgrounds for photographs.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Beautiful topiaries Cons: None
EPCOT is beautiful this time of year. Topiaries are dispersed all over the Park. Tons flowerbeds throughout the Park. We usually take one of our trips to WDW every year to coincide with the festival.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Color everywhere Cons: Bees
The first year we visited W.D.W. was in May of 2005 and when we arrived at EPCOT, we were pleasantly surprised to be here during this festival.
The Landscape is just beautiful, full of color and life. The characters and scenes that they make out of plant life is a true work of art!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Flowers, Flowers and More Flowers Cons: A bit lacking this year....2009
I gave this a 9 based on past years, but this year's festival was more of an 8. I've been to Flower and Garden four times and loved it, this year it didn't seem that there was a much out for the festival, if you have never been before you probably wouldn't notice, but if have and can compare to past years you will notice. It is still beautiful and they do amazing things with flowers, just not as much out in 2009. The Fairies Garden is a very nice addition. I highly recommend the Flower & Garden Festival.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): absolutely beautiful flowers, gardens, and topiaries Cons: some aspects have gone downhill over recent years
The topiaries, flower arrangements and gardens are spectacular. The concerts have been significantly cut this year. In previous years, the weekend concerts have been horribly crowded, but if spending the week, you could easily go to concerts during the week; but no more. The other activities (seminars, etc.) have also dropped off in quality compared to previous years. Previous years would have gotten a higher rating.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Beautiful Flowers Cons:
We love the Flower and Garden festival. It is Epcot at its finest!
Unfortunately...the cut backs this year were very noticable and we were diappointed with the lack of displays and activities.
We return though because the flowers and garders are gorgeous!!

I wish I could always visit EPCOT when it is decorated this way. The park is truly alive with color everywhere. We have not experienced the exhibits and seminars.

My birthday is in April and we make it a point to visit every year during Flower and Garden. Just walking around the parks is a wonderful experience!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): the park is beautiful, concerts Cons:
This is my favorite time to visit EPCOT. The park is absolutely beautiful with all the floral displays. I also love attending the Flower Power concerts at the America Gardens Theater. It's fun to hear the music of the 60's and 70's again. For those that love to photograph flowers, this is a wonderful opportunity. Not only are there a lot of landscape displays, but you can get some great close-up shots as well. The educational seminars held in the festival center (the old Wonders of Life building) are fun to attend as well. My son and I attended one in 2008 and we left with a pot full of flowers, plus some seeds and other goodies as well.
