Everything Confirmed for the 2024 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
New Topiaries
Every year at the festival, we see a bunch of fun topiaries around EPCOT! And this year, a new one is joining the lineup.
Groot will appear as a topiary for the first time at the festival! Disney says the flora colossus from Guardians of the Galaxy will be near Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in World Discovery.
