Al’s Toy Barn Flashback

For my part of remembering attractions that are now closed, I turn the clock back to when Toy Story’s meet and greet was located off Streets of America.

Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival ended on May 15th but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the fantastic hard work that horticulturists do all year long at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
