Unless I'm mistaken, this may be the earliest (late December) that they've ever posted the entire musical schedule for the festival. (I think in the past, the full schedule wasn't announced until late February.) Yet, the duration of the Flower and Garden Festival seems to be getting longer in the past few years, so I'm glad to see the information released earlier.

Thanks for sharing the schedule today.
Food rocks is coming back? Please say it is but as a gardening themed show
Bummer. Was hoping The Orchestra would be over Star Wars weekend like last year. Oh well, two F&G trips for me!
Egg-stravaganza returns to Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival and joined by new Honey Bee Scavenger Hunt
ill be there mach 3rd through 10th. Ill miss the egg piece, but is the other scavenger hunt going to be on while im there? I feel like my girls would love that.
Just booked my 5th flower and garden trip! Super excited and love the fact there is a new scavenger hunt!
I'll be there right in the middle of it... 3rd time's a charm! 🌷🍺

LOL... The lineup looks like a who's who from EPCOT Center's opening days. Not that I mind; I'm an 80s guy. 👍

Go figure though; I'm stuck with Herman's Hermits. Instead of like, the other 90% I'd rather see. 🤬
We are going in 2020 for our first time in May (usually we go in October), hope that the construction (that hasn't started yet) doesn't cause them to cancel Flower and Garden as we are excited to see it!
I have the same sentiments as a couple others. This will be our first visit during the festival, and I can think of at least 5-7 other acts I'd rather see than the ones there during our visit. :rolleyes:
Has anyone taken the "Royal Tea Tour"? I thought that was a tour around the Twinings Tea Shoppe, and that there was no extra fee-that it was free.
