With world-class flower and horticultural displays, specially themed weekends and the Flower Power concert series, the 2008 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever!

Enjoy endless displays of colorful roses, wildflowers and topiary displays of your favorite Disney characters, as well as gardening seminars, workshops, demonstrations and children's activities at this immensely popular annual Walt Disney World® Resort festival, which has been expanded to 75 days this year - from March 19 through June 1, 2008.

"The 15th-annual Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival offers something for everyone and is included in Epcot's regular admission price," said Kyle Collins, Director of Interactive Marketing for HotelsCorp.com. "And spring is a great time to visit Orlando since the weather is ideal and you don't have to cope with the summer crowds."
