A Beginner’s Guide to Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

This year the 2019 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival dates are March 6-June 3, 2019.

If you’re going to Disney World between these dates then you will see the beautiful Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival. The Flower and Garden Festival shows some outstanding garden work that makes the plants look like Disney characters: Lightning McQueen, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Pluto are all found at the entrance, Buzz Lightyear is at Mission Space and The Three Caballeros are at the Mexico pavilion.

The Garden Passport is free and helps you find the Outdoor Kitchens and has scavenger hunts. It’s really cool! The Outdoor Kitchens are all around the World Showcase Lagoon. They have food for you while you’re at the Flower and Garden Festival.

… and Buzz Lightyear (in front of Mission Space)!

The Garden Rocks Concert now performs nightly! Best part? It’s free with Epcot admission!

The Egg-stravaganza Scavenger Hunt takes place April 5-April 21. You can buy a map and stickers and look for Disney character eggs.

The Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is definitely something worth seeing. Don’t forget to take lots of pictures!

A Beginner’s Guide to Epcot Passports

At Epcot, in the World Showcase, they have many pavilions or countries you can visit to celebrate our diversity. A fun thing you can do is buy a passport in Epcot. The passport comes with stickers for each pavilion and a pin (not for pin trading, but it has a picture of Mickey and with all the flags for the countries in the World Showcase).

Cast Members add the stamp, date, time and a short message!

When you are in a pavilion, go to the Kidcot fun stop and a Disney Cast Member (that’s what they call everybody that works at Disney World) will stamp your passport, fill in the date and time and write something in their language.

Passports are fun because you might even learn a new language. Always be on the look out for the Kidcot fun stop! There is one in every country pavilion, even the United States pavilion. The passport at Epcot helps make going to the pavilions even more enjoyable. When you go to your hotel, you can put the stickers that come with the passport on it. After you have visited all the country pavilions every page of your passport will be full of pictures from the stickers and different languages.

A Beginner’s Guide to MagicBands

My brother’s green MagicBand waiving to the parade.

If you know anything about Disney World, they are always keeping up with the latest trends and technology. MagicBands are waterproof wristbands that come in all different colors and have Mickey’s head on them. They are free if you are a passholder or if you stay on Disney property. Update: Disney is now not giving guests free MagicBands starting January 1, 2021.

The blue MagicBand and a macaroon. Yummy!

MagicBands are cute but they are also very important to have at Disney World. When you enter a park at Disney World you have to scan your MagicBand and then scan your finger next to it. You can use a card instead but MagicBands are better than the cards because MagicBands are always on your wrist so it’s scan and go. Meanwhile with the cards you have to take the card out of your bag and then scan it. Why have to do that when you can have a MagicBand on your wrist? They also help you get on rides when you have a Fastpass+.

If you don’t like the plain color MagicBand choices, you can also get MagicBands with designs or your favorite Disney characters on it, but those MagicBands are not free. Do not trade your MagicBand with a family member. When you scan your MagicBand, the people that work at Disney World can see your first name! Once you have a MagicBand it’s yours and no one else’s. I hope this information on MagicBands was helpful!

My Favorite Restaurant at Epcot

Epcot has the most restaurants to choose from, but my favorite restaurant at Epcot is Garden Grill. The restaurant is in the Land Pavilion and the restaurant even moves! In the background you can see scenes from the Living with the Land ride.

Notice Living with the Land is behind us.

At breakfast, for kids they serve Mickey waffles. For adults there are eggs, bacon, sausage, potato barrels (tater tots), fruit and a cinnamon roll sticky bun. My favorite is the cinnamon roll sticky bun. They bring all the food to your table. If you go to Garden Grill really early for breakfast, they sometimes let you on Soarin’ Around the World early so you don’t have to wait in a long line!

For lunch and dinner they have lots of foods including salad, turkey, pot roast, macaroni & cheese, french fries and vegetables. Best part is the dessert: berry short cake with whip cream! You also get to meet characters. Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale all come to your table.
