In the ‘Nobody Does It Better Category’, our nominees are: (drum roll please)
Disney,
Disney,
Disney,
And last but not least, Disney.
The winner is: (drum roll please) … Disney!
It’s no surprise that Disney’s creativity and attention to detail are unsurpassed. Well, there is One who I’d give a bigger and better award to, but I’m limiting my entrants to mere humans. In this world that God created, the Disney experience is Perfect World as opposed to reality.
I present to you exhibit one, two, and three: Topiaries from the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival this spring, compliments of my friend Bette.
There were great gardens everywhere, but she and Don especially liked the topiaries. Bette calls it ‘Disney Imagination at work’.
The topiaries are constructed on a framework by the Disney horticulturalists, and then plants that are living or have been living (such as leaves for color on faces and rattan or bamboo for some parts of the sculptures) are added.
The Epcot Flower & Garden Festival is a two month annual spring event. April is a great month to go to Disney World because it is not 95 degrees in the shade, and children aren’t running all over the place.
The Festival and cooler weather were both long gone by the time I came to Orlando for business in June, so my Disney experience was Typhoon Lagoon. Creativity and Perfect World were still at Disney, as were some topiaries, like this one at the awesome Disney Marketplace.
Now, if only my return flight home hadn’t been delayed by 3 hours because of a Florida storm. Let’s put Disney in charge of the weather and the Orlando airport, because ‘nobody does it better’.
