Only 10 days left before we leave... and one of the things I'm really forward to is the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, which runs from March 18th to May 31st.

This year looks better than ever. Lots of new sets with all your favorite Disney characters, and the weather should be perfect. At least I'm hoping it's perfect, because aside from touring Epcot and taking in the flower scene, I also want to take a ride in the new balloon at Downtown Disney.

Now THAT looks like fun. It's not a real hot air balloon, it actually uses helium (which will make it much quieter than the traditional hot air baloon) and it lifts off about 400 feet above Downtown Disney. The carrier holds about 30 people, but I'm hoping if we get there early enough it won't be so crowded.

Also hoping to get plenty of great aerial photos once we're up there!
