Tinker Bell's Butterfly Garden in EPCOT

There are so many beautiful things to see in EPCOT in Springtime such as the amazing and spectacular gardens, topiary displays, outdoor kitchens, appearance of designer celebrities from HGTV, concerts, festivals, and more. If you haven't been here in Springtime, you should schedule a visit this time and I am sure, you'll going to love it.

This is Tinker Bell topiary by the Tinker Bell's Butterfly Garden.

The butterfly garden is just a good size area located at the Future World in Epcot. This is a fun place for kids who loves butterflies. The flowers are beautiful and colorful. I will be posting more photos that I took in EPCOT on my next post. Please comeback to check them out. Thanks for dropping by.

Blooms Inside the Tinker Bell's Butterfly Garden

Our visit to EPCOT in Disney World was just done in few hours. We wanted to stick to the plan: take three rides, stay in Future World and take photos in few areas there and the entrance. I tell you what, we were roaming about 30% in Future World areas. Yes, there is so much to see around but, since we have a pass holder, we are not in a hurry. We can comeback anytime. I already posted few photos of the topiary display in EPCOT as well as the fairy houses display. I still have more photo's to share though and for now, these are the flowers found in Tinker Bell's Butterfly garden.

This is one of my favorites. The blooms just explode.

I am not sure if this belongs to sunflower family.

Here's another color.

I like this too, it's like a scepter.

This is pretty too in fact, I got this one in my garden one time.

Here is Tinker Bell standing at the side exit/entrance of the garden.

This flower is my most favorite.

Very Pretty

This flower is nice too.

I think this flower is called Everlasting.

This is another color of everlasting flower.

That's all for now. What do you think?

#ButterflyTopiary : International Flower and Garden Festival in EPCOT

My husband and I were at EPCOT in #DisneyWorld last Thursday to see the #InternationalFlowerandGardenFestival which is presented by #HGTV. My goodness, fun is in bloom indeed. We love taking the monorail because it is really cool to see part of EPCOT up above the monorail tracks. The first blooms that I saw was the garden near the Tinker Bell's Butterfly Garden. It was so colorful and the Disney Character topiaries are gigantic so it was beautiful and visible up above.

We decided to stay in Future World and take 3 rides. I already reserved my fast pass online but, since hubby can't get his fast pass, we took the standby. We won't be long anyway coz we get tired from walking around so; I  told hubby that we will stay in Future World and take the photos of Topiaries and the garden display at the entrance. We will be back next time before the festival ends.

As we were walking towards the Tinker Bells's Butterfly Garden, this giant Butterfly Topiary caught my eyes. Such a gorgeous display don't you think? There are over a 100 topiary displays in Epcot. Some topiaries are favorite Disney Characters and some are seasonal topiaries so; every year is truly different. We did not go to World Showcase.

It is spring break so; it is super crowded in Disney World.  All the rides have 30 to 80 minutes stand by , crazy right? If you plan to visit Disney World, get your ticket ahead of time and reserve your fast pass online or on your cellphone.  You save time and your energy will not be wasted with the queue. With our case, it is alright because we have a yearly pass and we can visit anytime on weekdays and in any parks. We can take the standby of 30 max. When we went to Soarin' Attraction, the wait time is 80 minutes LOL. We did not go. We took the Land instead and it was pretty interesting.

The Amazing topiary displays are in the World Showcase area. I will take photos of the topiaries in that area on our next visit. I really wanted to go there alone though LOL. My husband hates to walk from pavilion to pavilion. Goodness! LOL!

Yep, for now , I am sharing this butterfly display.  I took more photos inside the Tinker Bell's butterfly garden. If you love flowers, I use the zoom feature of my camera phone and take photos to some blooms and the flowers are all pretty.

I hope you enjoyed viewing the butterfly display. Do you think you can you make this art work in your garden? Thanks for stopping by. Come back tomorrow for another exciting and interesting photos. have a great day!

#Disney's #HollywoodStudios

It's been so many weeks now that we haven't used our Disney pass. Hubby and I were so busy with this "moving frenzy" so; a trip to Disney is not a priority. We will definitely go there anytime soon. For now, I am sharing some photos that I took inside the theme park but, you will never see these anymore. They constantly changing the landscape but, no matter what, when you are inside the park, everything is beautiful and you will not miss any of these. Whatever is in there right now, it's equally AWESOME!

Hollywood Boulevard

I always feel excited whenever we go to Disney. Excited to see what's the new ride and what attraction is added. Hollywood Boulevard is the main road that goes all the way to Mickey's Sorcerer's Hat which is the icon of Disney World's Hollywood Studio in Florida. When I am here, I always love to check out :

1. The Great Movie Ride

This is a 22-minute tours which is fun because walking is not really favorable for me hehehe. I want to save my energy to just sit back and relax. In this attraction, guests will be able to travel through classic film scenes and view some exciting Hollywood moments. There is walking alright but, not that bad. I remember the rides mostly. By the Echo Lake, two attractions that I wouldn't dare miss.

2. Star Tours

If you love an adrenalin-rush type of rides, this attraction is for you. I like it alright just loving the heck out of it. But, I can only do once and more than that, I will probably get sick. Are you familiar with Flight Simulator? Oh yeah, the name is thrilling alright! R2-D2 will be there to greet the guests as well as C-3PO and #Yoda. It is more exciting when you see and greet Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker huh? Yes, they are there too. Now, the rides is EXCITING! THRILLING! SCARY! That's it hahaha. I hate fast rides. I can't help myself but, love this ride. Love and Hate LOL!

3. Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular

To make me relax after that dizzy flight simulator ride, watching the stunts from Indiana Jones movie are relaxing. You should have this attraction in your list too if you visit Disney's Hollywood Studios. Indiana Jones movie is an epic. It is one of my favorite movies. Did you know that Indiana Jones could really be real? Well not the name but, the person that they based this movie from. I saw a documentary about it and it was fascinating to know. Anyway, this attraction is all about stunts, movie magic and they will be showing how the movie was done. The stunts are dangerous but, safe for the audience to watch. If you are eager to volunteer, go ahead! They usually pick a volunteer from the audience.

Streets of America

1. Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show

This is one of the 4 attractions that I love in this area. It is exciting to see how monstrous vehicle stunts are done and captured on film for blockbuster Hollywood movies. This attraction lasts about 33 minutes and yes, if you love to volunteer, you can volunteer too. It is dangerous but, Disney always have safety measures for everyone so; just do it if you are a risk taker. It is fun though. At the end of the show, you will be starring in the movie stunts that they will going to replay on the big screen. You will have a 5-minute fame experience. Awesome huh?.

2. Studio Backlot Tour

This is one of the best attractions in Hollywood Studios and my personal favorite too. I love the walking tour especially the tram tour of movie-making magic. The tour lasts for 35 minutes. If there is a special activity in Disney, this attraction is a favorite so; wait time could go for an hour but, it is worth it. You should not miss this attraction.

Animation Courtyard

Kids love to meet Disney characters right? This is the best location to go to but, you need to get the map and the Times Guide to know when they are coming. My favorite in this area is:

The Voyage of Little Mermaid.
This is a live musical show and done in a theater. I am a big fan of Ariel so; I love to sit and listen to the music, just relaxing.

Sunset Boulevard

This place is fun because I love dining in this area. Aside from that, the hair-raising adrenalin rides are located here too: the Tower of Terror andRock and Roller Coaster. I am chicken so; I detour and never tried any of these two rides hahaha.Fantasmic is also in this area and my favorite:

Beauty and the Beast- Live on Stage.

This is a live musical and Broadway style show which lasts for 30 minutes. After all the walking and thrilling rides, this show is a perfect attraction to end an exciting day in Hollywood Studios. Unless if you want to wait for Fantasmic show which will be done at night time.

Well, those attractions are my personal favorites. What do you think? Are you excited to visit Hollywood Studios soon? I got lots of photos to share so; please come by anytime and check out my latest posts. Thanks for stopping by always. See you again.

Studio Backlot Tour at Hollywood Studios

Okay, would you like to ride this?

And is not afraid to experience this?

Then, you are so ready for an exciting #Disney treat!

Visiting Disney is truly a fun way to spend a quality time with your family and loved-ones. It's not only for kids but, for kids-at-heart too. Strolling down the theme park, experience the thrilling and heart-stopping rides, sharing a hearty meal at Disney restaurants, shopping for souvenirs, watching a stage show, meeting Disney characters and playing games are just some of the fun activities which you and your family can enjoy inside Disney theme parks.

There's a lot to explore inside and believe me, one week is not enough! But, make the most of your time while you are here. Get a fast pass to save your time and make a plan the night before. List down the attractions that you want to visit. Focus in one area and move to the next to save your energy. On a rainy season, bring your own ponchos to save big bucks. It's quiet expensive and if you have a big family, it might hurt your wallet.

I took these photos at Studio Backlot Tour. This attraction lasts for 35 minutes. In this attraction, I get to experience the behind the scenes and see the special effects in movie making. This attraction is one of my favorites because I don't need to walk. It's tiring to walk around Disney you know LOL.

By the way, when you visit any Disney theme park, get the guide at the front that way, you can refer which attraction to go first and so on. Remember, plan your time wisely and save your energy.

Here are my favorite attractions in Hollywood Studios theme park:
1. The Great Movie Ride
2. Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
3. Star Tours
4. Lights, Motors and Action
5. Studio Backlot Tour
6. Beauty and the Beast
7. Fantasmic
8. Voyage of the Little Mermaid

I know ... I know ... LOL, those are easy attraction to check out. I am not a thrill-seeker but, if you want the wild ride, I highly recommend these two awesome adrenalin rides!

1. Rock and Roller Coaster
2. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

Now, when you enter the Hollywood Studios, go to Sunset Boulevard first , take one fast pass take note of your time then, watch another attraction. When you come out, it will be time to go to the next attraction and you will be happy you did. When you are done with the second attraction, get another fast pass and move to the next attraction in your list. The same strategy to manage your time inside the theme park.

You will probably see all the attractions in your list if its on a weekday but, if it is on a weekend or holiday, the queue is long and that can kill your time in the theme park. If that happens, don't be mad. Just enjoy and make sure the kids are happy.

On every trip to Disney, I noticed that kids are crying because they want to see Mickey and the parents wants to see the Lights, Motors and Action stunts first, LOL. Come on daddy! Children's happiness first okay? LOL.

That's all for now folks. Hollywood Studios is not as crowded as Magic Kingdom so; if you want an easy stroll and you have more time to spend in Disney, Hollywood Studios theme park is a great place to visit. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you had a great time reading my post. I am sleepy so bye for now. Mwahhh!
