Spring is in full swing at Walt Disney World and so has Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival !  This is one of my favorite times of the year to visit Epcot.  The gardens, flowers and even food booths enhance the beauty that Epcot already has.

Saratoga’s main attraction is the horseracing track that is still active today.  The resort is inspired by the Victorian track life of the 1800’s and also the great Natural Springs.  The décor of the main lobby and grounds incorporate the art and styling of that era.  Saratoga Springs Resort has two dining options. The Artist’s Palette is the quick service option for the resort and is located just off the main lobby.  They serve three meals a day and have special offerings such as mickey waffles, sandwiches and pizza.  This is also where you can go to find the gift shop and purchase other necessary pantry items.  The Turf Club Bar and Grill is the table service option at the resort a...
