There are lots of cool events at Walt Disney World throughout the year, but I think if I had to pick an ideal time to go, it would be during EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival. Not only are the garden and topiary displays super fun, but these food pictures my friend Venessa shared with me from her recent trip were the proverbial and literal icing on the cake. Scroll through and try to resist licking the screen. I dare you!
