Disney Reviews Special Edition #5 - F&G Festival Topiaries Part 1

Getting off topic of food for a bit (but just a short bit), it's time for me to finally review the Flower and Garden Festival itself and it's going to take me a while. Unlike the Food and Wine Festival which basically just deals with food, the Flower and Garden Festival, in addition to food, has gardens and topiaries and flowers EVERYWHERE! I guess I should also mention that both festivals have seminars and events, but we never attend those (because they take up time and cost extra), so I can't review those.

For those that don't know what a topiary is, I link you to Wikipedia for the official description, but it's basically just a bush trimmed to look like something and, in Disney's case, Disney characters. Due to the large number of topiaries spread throughout both the Future World and World Showcase sections of Epcot, I'm going to have to split this post up into two parts. I'm probably also going to use more of my Sister's pictures than mine, simply because hers turned out better. Just to give you a scale reference, most of these are a lot bigger than "human-sized" (ranging about 6-7ft tall) and these aren't in order as they appeared in the park, just separated into their respective lands. Oh, and this is going to be a HUGE picture-filled post, so prepare yourself and, without further ado, let's get started with the Future World side first!

I love the ones with Donald Duck and his nephews and the good old Buzz :) What a lot of details and hard work, it's simply stunning and I would love to have the opportunity to go there and admire them all.

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
