Pre-pre planning - Orlando, FL April 2016 - Flower & Garden Show

I recently realized that during our planned trip in April 2016 is going to coincide with the annual Flower & Garden Festival in the Epcot park at Walt Disney World!  This is one of the longer special events at Disney World spanning from early March until mid May.  There are a number of annual special events that happen at Disney World - some traditional like Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Independence Day, Halloween and Christmas - and some that are unique to Disney.  Maybe you'll find something special that you'd especially like to enjoy!

Here is a list of some of Disney World's usual special events and when they're scheduled to happen in 2015:
