Friday - Epcot Flower and Garden Festival

We arrived Thursday night and had a late dessert at Ragland Road before staying at our favorite Comfort Suites hotel. On Friday morning we drove over to Epcot to see all the flowers and gardens. We only rode a couple rides... Soarin' and Journey in the Imagination, and spent the rest of the day sightseeing.
