LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – An elaborate “Cinderellabration” topiary and an environmentally friendly Green Garden bring fresh springtime flair to the 16th annual Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, presented by Disneynature, March 18-May 31, 2009. Amid a colorful tableau of more than 30 million blooms, Walt Disney World guests of all ages can explore myriad exhibits and activities geared toward gardening and outdoor fun.
Every spring, Disney gardeners channel their creative energy into presenting an intricate topiary display against the backdrop of Spaceship Earth. This year, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Snow White and the seven dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty and Prince Phillip, and Belle and Beast from “Beauty and the Beast” debut in all their “blooming finery” as the grand front-entrance topiary during the 75-day festival. Seventy other topiaries appear throughout World Showcase and Future World.
Flower Power concerts spread a groovy vibe each weekend (Friday-Sunday) at America Gardens Theatre in World Showcase. Acts appearing for 2009 include Davy Jones, Paul Revere & The Raiders, Jose Feliciano, Chubby Checker, and for the first time at Epcot, Harold Melvin's Blue Notes.
More information about the 16th annual Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is available by calling 407/W-DISNEY (934-7639) or by visiting disneyworld.com/flower. The festival, including all gardening programs and exhibits, is included in regular Epcot admission.
