Several EPCOT Flower & Garden Topiaries Have Been REMOVED
One of our favorite parts of the 2023 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is all the incredibly detailed topiaries featuring all kinds of our favorite characters. Since the festival just ended, however, it’s time to start saying goodbye.

As Disney gets ready for the Food & Wine Festival to kick off on July 27th, we’ve been seeing new food booths pop up around EPCOT and now, sadly, topiaries are being removed. Let’s take a look below!
Goodbye, Topiaries!
One of the most epic topiary displays was this set of Encanto characters right at the entrance of EPCOT. From left to right, you can see Luisa, Mirabel, Antonio, and Isabela.
