Even More Topiaries Return to Epcot Ahead of 2023 International Flower & Garden Festival, Including “Frozen,” “Winnie the Pooh,” and More!
We love Epcot at any time of the year, but have to say that the park is positively blooming right now!
Even though we still have days left of the International Festival of the Arts, the Imagineers have been busy planting the seeds for the 2023 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, which is due to commence on March 1st. We have already seen flowers start to blossom around the park, but it’s the arrival of the fan-favorite character topiaries that really “springs” up our attention!
Over the weekend, our MickeyBloggers spotted new displays crop up in the China and Morocco pavilions of the World Showcase. Today, even more have arrived, and the range includes some of the most beloved topiary designs of the annual festival! Let’s take a look…
Frozen Topiary Display
We’ll start off in the Norway pavilion of Epcot, where this spectacular display inspired by Frozen is ready to bringing springtime warmth to any icy hearts!
Looking as gorgeous as ever, the regal sisters Anna and Elsa are posing in dresses made from intricately-clipped greenery, creating the most dazzling display of garden genius we could hope to see!
Elsa is stood in her signature, icy-power-yielding pose, while Anna dances next to her among the huge barrels of pink and white flowers. We love all the topiaries at Epcot, but this one remains a firm favorite year after year in our opinion!
Winnie the Pooh Topiary Display
Moving along to the UK pavilion, and we’re delighted to share this adorable display featuring Winnie the Pooh and Rabbit topiaries.
Although Pooh Bear has some rather interesting proportions in topiary form, he and Rabbit are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face!
You can catch them posing amidst a vibrant patch of purple, red, and yellow flowers, with Pooh holding a bright red balloon, and Rabbit his orange carrots. There’s even a cute little Hunny Pot hidden amongst the colorful display, too!
This display is very quaint and sweet, and looks amazing positioned in front of the picturesque buildings of the UK pavilion!

Woody and Bo Peep “Toy Story” Topiary
The third and final new display we have to show you today is this Toy Story-inspired piece, featuring lovebirds Woody and Bo Peep.
Smiling from their station in World Celebration, the pair are surrounded by sunny yellow flowers, and have even been joined by Bo’s sheep trio!
We can’t wait to see more topiaries arrive at Epcot as preparations continue for the Flower & Garden Festival to begin next month.
