This week, spring arrived early at Epcot with the return of the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. We shared some wonderful stories featuring the flowers, the food, and of course, the new merchandise at this year’s celebration. If you missed it, be sure and check out the fun topiary video we launched to kick things off.

The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival which will run through May 19, features more than 100 Disney-themed topiaries, including floral versions of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Phineas and Ferb, Lightning McQueen and Mater, among others.

Our most shared story of the week was the announcement that new Disney-inspired handbags and accessories by Vera Bradley will bloom this fall at Disney Parks. Disney Theme Park Merchandise worked closely with Vera Bradley to develop two new patterns that will appear on items this fall. Go check out Steven’s original post for a closer look at the patterns.
