Many a mom chooses to spend her day at Disney World, where the Epcot theme park is in full bloom for the Flower and Garden Festival. Most years, a highlight is the Mother's Day Brunch, which unfortunately is not occuring in 2009. But Mother's Day Weekend at Disney World will still be a prime time, with flower displays for the Flower and Garden Festival (especially the Disney character topiaries), and free Flower Power concerts with bands from the 60's and 70's. (See details about Mother's Day events at Disney World.)
