Pirates and Princesses Reign April 5-June 3, 2007, During 14th Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival

Filed under: Disney Doings, Disney News

Disney Flower Fest Expands to 60 Days

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — A flower-festooned pirate ship will drop anchor and Disney princess topiaries will color the landscape at the 14th annual Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival April 5-June 3 at Walt Disney World Resort. Previously running for seven weeks, the popular festival expands to 60 days this year and offers more floral fantasy and gardening fun than ever before.

The first-ever pirate ship topiary will feature Peter Pan and his nemesis, Captain Hook, plus Tinker Bell — all as intricately designed topiaries. Pirate Mickey Mouse and Princess Minnie Mouse, plus Cinderella and Prince Charming, Belle and her Beast from “Beauty and the Beast,” and other popular characters make topiary appearances throughout the park. A towering Pirate Goofy, with Donald Duck and Pluto, offer Disney gardeners a chance to reach new topiary heights.

In all, there will be more than 70 topiaries — plus 30 million blooms, artfully designed floral beds, expertly crafted bonsai trees and lush rose gardens gracing the 300 acres of Future World and World Showcase. For the first time in the festival’s history, Disney’s horticultural team will plant two crop rotations during the fest — which will produce “the biggest opening show ever” and allow for a more brilliant floral display for the festival’s duration, says horticultural manager, Eric Darden.

Beyond the dazzling displays of bursting blooms, the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is known by gardening aficionados for its celebrity guest speakers, hands-on seminars and innovative planting demonstrations and exhibits.

Each evening, Flower Power concerts rock the park with live entertainment from top acts of the 1960s and ’70s. Past lineups have included The Turtles, Davy Jones, The Association and other crowd pleasers.

Minnie’s Magnificent Butterfly Garden is back with hundreds of butterflies in a screened, walk-through enclosure that will include a live exhibit showing how caterpillars form a chrysalis and emerge as butterflies. The family-oriented Growing Future Gardeners area, complete with colorful (and tasty) planting ideas for kids and parents, doubles in size this year following an overwhelming family response during its 2006 debut.

New themed weekend events will salute spring romance and Easter whimsy. Back by popular demand are the child-friendly I Dig Bugs weekend, Art in the Garden weekend, and the time-honored Mother’s Day celebration, among others.

Other festival features include:

  • The Festival Center, where guests can find program guides and festival merchandise and attend speaker presentations and demonstrations.
  • The popular Great American Gardeners series, opening with Paul James of HGTV’s “Gardening by the Yard,” April 5-8.
  • A “Lift and Sniff” Fragrance Garden at the France pavilion showcasing flowers and plants used to create several Guerlain perfumes.
  • Disney Gardening at Home presentations during which Disney horticulturists share tips and secrets for at-home gardening.
  • Kids’ activities, including an upgraded, fun-filled Tinker Bell’s Fairy Garden, Disney character meet and greets and daily ladybug releases.

More information about the 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.

And while millions of blooms adorn Epcot, one million very special dreams will be granted to guests visiting Walt Disney World and Disneyland resorts during a first-of-its kind celebration, “The Year of a Million Dreams.” Guests will find Disney cast members delivering an unprecedented level of guest service. The celebration will also be highlighted by the debut of innovative Disney attractions and entertainment spectaculars at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts.

Top 10 Tips: Walt Disney World Resort Offers Romance for Lovebirds on Valentine’s Day and Every Day

Filed under: Disney Doings

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — All you need is love — and a Walt Disney World vacation — to make this year’s Valentine’s Day dreams come true. It’s “The Year of a Million Dreams” at Disney Parks, and with dreams being granted to guests every day, there’s no better time to visit the home of the world’s greatest storybook romances.

Whether it’s a spa treatment for two, a horse-drawn carriage through the South or a view of the sunset over an African savannah, these top ten delights create the perfect setting for unscripted romance on Valentine’s Day or any day!

  • 1. A South Pacific paradise awaits at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, where couples can lounge on a hammock made for two amidst tropical landscaping, cascading waterfalls and a picturesque view of Seven Seas Lagoon.
  • 2. In the United Kingdom pavilion at Epcot, guests can stroll through the serene Perennial Garden, an oft-missed attraction (it hides snuggly behind the thatched-roof cottage of The Tea Caddy). Sample an English biscuit and a cup of Twinings tea, then relax on one of the many benches that provide excellent views of fluttering butterflies and seasonal flower blooms.
  • 3. It was a “Bella Notte” when Lady and the Tramp shared that famous spaghetti noodle, so to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their classic romance, guests can recreate the moment at Tony’s Town Square in Magic Kingdom. Couples can share a heaping platter of the restaurant’s signature dish, spaghetti and meatballs dressed in Tony’s tomato sauce, next to an indoor Lady and the Tramp fountain or outdoors on a patio that provides excellent parade views on special nights. (Info: 407/WDW-DINE)
  • 4. Travel amidst scenic waterways and the grand manors of Disney’s Port Orleans Resort-Riverside on a horse-drawn carriage ride, departing most nights from Boatwright’s Dining Hall.

(Info: 407/824-2332)

Each celebration can be custom-tailored to the whims and fancies of the couple to make their milestone magical. (Info: 321/939-4623)

With most rooms overlooking a 33-acre savannah filled with 200 exotic animals and birds, guests can watch the sunset — or sunrise — over Africa from their private balcony. Room service can deliver breakfast in bed, or for more exotic cuisine, Jiko-The Cooking Place, a AAA Four Diamond restaurant, is steps away from the lobby. (Info: 407/W-DISNEY)

And for couples who want to make their own fairy tale dream come true — complete with Cinderella’s coach and her famous glass slipper — Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings can create an enchanting, unforgettable union.

    Oh, and the name of the boat is perfect for couples in love: Breathless.

  • Disney Dining Serves Romance — Couples find Disney dining infused with romance in settings ranging from the subdued to the spectacular.

    California Grill atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort offers a panoramic view overlooking the Magic Kingdom theme park. Here, stellar cuisine and the restaurant’s award-winning selection of California wines set the stage. Lovebirds can catch a Florida sunset over Magic Kingdom.

    One of the most romantic dinner spots at Walt Disney World Resort is a table for two at Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The elegant restaurant has been honored with the Five-Diamond Award from AAA for its gourmet cuisine. Combining Royal Doulton china, Cristofle silver and personalized menus, Victoria & Albert’s is the “crown jewel” of the Grand Floridian’s dining destinations. Soft harp music fills the air as “maids” and “butlers” provide stellar service to each of the 18 tables in the intimate dining room. Ladies also receive a long-stemmed red rose.

    For the ultimate romantic experience, an evening at the Chef’s Table is unsurpassed. Couples are seated at a table in Victoria & Albert’s kitchen and treated to a culinary feast custom tailored to their specific tastes by Chef Scott Hunnel.

    Guests who prefer to dine in an even more intimate setting at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa need only to pick up the closest telephone. The Grand Floridian can arrange a private dinner for two, served against the elegant backdrop of the Grand Floridian beach — or aboard the Grand 1 – on a sunset excursion around Seven Seas Lagoon.

    For these couples, dreams become reality. Where else but at Disney could a bride arrive for her wedding in Cinderella’s glass coach, have a handsome major domo carry wedding rings to the altar in a glass slipper, or have Mickey and Minnie greet guests at the reception?

    Whether it’s an elegant ball at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, a traditional ceremony at the Wedding Pavilion, a country hoe-down at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, or a beach-themed wedding complete with tiki torches, leis and luau on one of the Walt Disney World white-sand beaches, Disney custom designs each wedding with the famous “Disney Difference” — providing attention to the tiniest detail.

Game Boys movie scheduled for release in 2008

Scheduled for release in 2008, Game Boys follows the story of two 30-year-old gamers hired by the Department of Homeland Security to recruit an army of gamers to battle the live monsters created from the video game they have already mastered.
