Picture
Walt Disney World Cast Members are working hard to prepare Disney’s Blizzard Beach for its reopening on March 7, 2021.  Water Parks fans, this means you are roughly one month away from once again leisurely floating across Cross Country Creek, speeding down Summit Plummet and indulging in your favorite meals at the Lottawatta Lodge!

When Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park reopens, it will operate in alignment with the health and safety protocols implemented throughout the Walt Disney World Resort, including reduced capacity, temperature screenings, physical distancing markings and face coverings. You can find the most updated information on health and safety protocols at Walt Disney World Resort here.

Guests can now purchase one-Day Water Park tickets, as well as other ticket options, through their SPV agent or by requesting a quote for your tickets if you are not working with an agent yet. The water-park tickets will remain valid through December 31, 2021.

Fresh Details for the Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

1/26/2021

The Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival (an SPV favorite) is a little more than a month away!  This year’s event starts on March 3 and runs through July 5 - the longest Flower and Garden festival ever!  Here are some newly released details about this spring themed festival.

To welcome in spring, there will be 20 different gardens across Epcot for guests to enjoy. These gardens will include floating gardens on the waters of Future World, a bamboo garden in China, a tropical rainforest garden in Mexico and the English Tea Garden Presented by Twinings of London in the United Kingdom (where park guests can also take a Self-Guided Tea Tour).  At The Goodness Garden Butterfly House (presented by GoGo squeeZ) guests can view a kaleidoscope of butterflies up close.  And at Outdoor Escapes (Presented by OFF! Repellents) in Future World East, Guests can unwind in refreshing spaces that show just how easy it is to create an outdoor escape for family and friends.
Lady and the Tramp Topiary

Throughout the park guests will see stunning topiaries of Disney Character blooming to life. Favorite topiaries that you will see include Remy in the France pavilion; Tinker Bell and the Fairy Houses in the United Kingdom; Lady and the Tramp (a personal favorite) in Italy; and Sorcerer Mickey at the park’s reimagined main entrance.

If you're going to the festival for food and drink, you won't be disappointed.  With more than 20 delectable stops to choose from you can embark on a mouth-watering tour  around the park and discover a variety of options.  Each Outdoor Kitchen offers a specialty menu of creative cuisine and libations to savor and sip. 

Looking for live entertainment? The Flower and Garden festival features live music every day.  Voices of Liberty will perform an all-American a cappella showcase and Mariachi Cobre will perform Mexican folk music.  Jammin’ Gardeners will be at EPCOT performing rhythmic beats with inspired backyard percussion, and in the World Showplace the EPCOT Pianist will be playing seasonal songs.

The Festival is fun for the whole family with the fun scavenger hunts. Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration is a springtime quest to find the buzzzz-iest honey bee at Walt Disney World Resort.  And during the Easter season (March 19 – April 4), Guests can also take part in the Egg-stravaganza Scavenger Hunt to find Disney pals and their oversized eggs all around World Showcase.

No Festival visit would be complete without picking up some official event merchandise to commemorate you visit. This year's merchandise will feature Orange Bird, Figment, Minnie Mouse and Spike the Bee on apparel, headwear, drinkware and much more.

The best part about visiting the Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival? It is available for guests already visiting EPCOT to experience at no extra charge! Valid admission and a park reservation to Epcot for the same date of your visit is required (food, beverage and merchandise are not included and do cost extra).

If you're ready to book your spring trip to Walt Disney World, contact your Simply Perfect Vacations agent today. Or you can request a free, no obligation quote here.

The Disney Vacation Planners of Simply Perfect Vacations could not be happier today as it has been announced that one of our favorite Walt Disney World shows will be returning!  Expected to return this summer, the Harambe Theatre at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park will host the Festival of the Lion King. This fan-favorite show features a troupe of musical storytellers, along with Simba and his friends, and more. 

Singers, dancers, technicians and other Cast Members have been called back to start rehearsing one of the most popular shows at Walt Disney World Resort. When it returns, Festival of the Lion King will be presented in a modified format to be mindful of the current environment. There will be adjustments to the show on stage and backstage, including updates to choreography to allow for appropriate physical distancing. How the audience is seated will also be modified, line with other theater-based experiences at Walt Disney World Resort.
​
If you're ready to clap along with “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” thrill to the fire knife performance during “Be Prepared,” swoon over “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” and take in the joyous “Circle of Life?” - contact your Simply Perfect Vacations Disney Vacation Planner or request a Walt Disney World vacation quote.  The return of this show is going to be an amazing celebration you won't want to miss!
