While the park is beautiful during this time, not much seems to change from year to year. Many of the topiaries there this year were there last year, albeit perhaps in a different location. Some variety would be appreciated!

What a beautiful job they do for F&G at EPCOT. We have been to many of the events and always love when they add new topiaries. The CARS ones are a favorite. We have also loved the fairy houses and all the other characters. The kids areas were great when mine were little. They like the little interactive make and take craft stations.
Pros:
So beautiful. They are always rotating in fresh designs and bring back old favorites.Cons:
Some times we look for a certain favorite but it isn't in rotation.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 09/27/2018

I love Epcot during the Flower & Garden Festival. Many of the topiaries remain the same year after year, just moved to different places, but there were some new and different ones this time around. I really enjoyed the Lion King ones near Africa Outpost, the Muppets near Italy, the Woody one in USA. Mater's garden was super cute and fun for kids, and the "Garden Retreat" nearby was a great escape for adults. I did not get to experience the Butterfly Garden due to thunderstorms, so that was a little disappointing. I hope I can return next year during the Festival as well!

The flower and garden festival is a great time to be at Epcot. It is absolutely beautiful to see all of the flowers and topiary that Disney puts so much time and effort into. The colors make the park just come alive. I like all of the food booths but if I'm honest I wish they would save all of the food type festivals for a different park since Epcot already has the best restaurants on property. It's hard to sample food when you really want to save your appetite for your favorite restaurants.
Pros:
Stunning flowers, food boothsCons:

We attended the 2018 Festival, and once again, it was a great addition to an already great theme park. There are even more corners to explore this year, or so it seemed. I liked the layout changes of some of them - they seemed to be better designed to handle more crowds, without squishing everybody in. We particularly enjoyed all the extra Disney character topiary models. I wish there had been photographers available at all of them. Some souvenir items were severely overpriced, for what you were getting. We got the pandora charm set, which at least provides some value. Overall, it was a great addition to Epcot, and I hope it grows (pun intended), specifically into every country's area around World Showcase, with even more national theming (like Lady And The Tramp in Italy).
Pros:
Those Topiaries!Cons:
some themed-item pricesReviewed by Steph w Review Date: 09/26/2018

As always Disney does an amazing job with this festival. The topiaries are amazing I have never seen anything like it.
