The 21st Annual Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing so we thought it would be fun to share some of what is involved in putting on this beautiful, stunning, aromatic event! Enjoy!

* 100 topiaries of some of your favorite characters
* 1,000 native butterflies, representing 10 species, flutter around in the Tinkerbelle Butterfly house
* 500,000 trees, plants and shrubs
* 70,000 bedding plants representing 48 bedding types
* 60 types of trees
* 47 types of palms
* 220 mini gardens

All of this creates over 30 million blooms and requires the work of 500 Disney horticulturalists to setup and maintain!!!

About the Author

Born and raised in the great state of Texas, Angela spent every summer in Florida. Each year, on the way to her grandparent’s house, her parents would take her and her sister to Walt Disney World and she didn't stop when she became an adult. Now a wife and mother of two (and a DVC member), she is continuing the tradition with her own family. In the parks you will often see her stopping to help a family she overheard who is lost or looking for an answer to a question prompting her husband to nickname her the walking kiosk. When not dreaming of Disney she is a busy wife, mom, and owner/agent of Once Upon A Time Vacations, a travel agency specializing in Disney Destinations and primary sponsor of Disney Mamas.

My precious family

A Disney fan from birth, I’ve made more than two dozen pilgrimages to my second home, Walt Disney World, with a handful of visits to Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line thrown in for good measure. Currently, I reside 1,162 miles from the World near Dallas, TX.

My usually willing, lifelong travel partner & husband is Chris, who’s Disney fandom is growing with every trip. Together we are raising two Disney-nuts-in-training: Connor and Logan. Connor’s passion of the moment is playing Sorcerer’s of the Magic Kingdom. Logan just wants to share your snack and ride it’s a small world.

Besides moming and blogging, I’m is also a high school theatre teacher by day and Disney and Universal travel agent by night for Once Upon a Time Vacations.
