Your Complete Guide to EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival Topiaries
It’s been a few weeks since the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival kicked off at Walt Disney World and it will continue to delight guests through July 5, 2023. Among the highlights of this year’s fest is an incredible array of topiaries themed after your favorite Disney characters. Disney’s horticulture team has definitely outdone themselves this year. With that in mind, here’s your complete look at the incredible topiaries you’ll find at this year’s Flower and Garden Festival.
NEW for 2023
At the main entrance to EPCOT you’ll find a few new topiaries inspired by our favorite characters from the popular Disney film Encanto. This includes the main protagonist of the film Mirabel.
Made out of stunning succulents is Isabela who uses her magical gifts to create a beautiful array of blooms.
Luisa
Luisa’s strength and courage also shows through in this stunning Encanto-inspired topiary.
Rounding out the Madrigal family is Antonio who is masterfully brought to life. Note the Toucan perched on his shoulder.
Also new for 2023 is a topiary featuring Tiana from The Princess and the Frog. Tiana is wearing her beautiful ballgown complete with magnolia blossom. Be on the lookout for Princess Tiana at The American Adventure Pavilion.
Mickey Mouse
It wouldn’t be a Flower & Garden Festival without a Mickey Mouse topiary.
Minnie Mouse
Mickey is also joined by Minnie Mouse. You can see her here with her picnic basket.
Chip and Dale
In the same flower bed you’ll also see Chip ‘n’ Dale getting in on the fun!
Pluto
Also joining the crew is Pluto. You can find Mickey and Co at the bridge to World Showcase and World Celebration.
