Epcot Flower and Garden Festival

I've been wanting to go to the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival for a few years now, but when I heard they had a fairy garden, I really wanted to take the girls! Steve was able to break away from work for the day to go with us which made the day extra special.

The fairy garden was great! It was full of fairy topiaries, fairy houses, a fairy playground.. all things magical.

Brooke was mesmerized by the fairy houses. She builds them all the time in our yard, so it was fun to watch her soak it all in, looking for ideas and taking mental notes.

This was a Rapunzel topiary

 

One of my favorite memories from the day was going on the ride Soarin. It's kind of like a flight simulator that makes you feel like you're "soarin" through different scenes. We got to the ride and both girls wanted to go too. Ali just BARELY measured tall enough to get on the ride according to our estimation. Steve went ahead and gave Ali some pointers on how to measure at her very tallest once she got to the entrance. Sure enough, the Disney employee puller her aside to measure her and Ali stood her very tallest, hoping to make it through. After being checked by two different employees, they gave her the thumbs up! She was thrilled and got to go on her first big-girl ride!
