Flower & Garden Topiary Maps

EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival begins in just a few weeks, but the topiaries are already finding their homes! Let’s take a tour through some of the first displays popping up around EPCOT..

Stitch is up first and has taken the spot previously occupied by Buzz Lightyear. You can find Experiment 626 in front of Mission Space in World Discovery.

Bambi, Thumper, and Flower have a new home this year, too. You can find this sweet team on the Creations side of World Celebration just before the bridge to World Showcase.

Figment is still centered in front of Spaceship Earth, but his location moved more toward World Showcase this year. You can’t miss him, though!

Phineas and Ferb are in the same place of honor as last year! They’ll be on your right as you leave Figment headed for World Showcase.

Mirabel, Antonio, and the Encanto stars are now near the CommuniCore stage. This move makes sense because the Madrigal family is planted within dancing distance of Celebración Encanto! at the CommuniCore Stage.

The Lion King topiaries have a new home this year, too! Our pals from Pride Rock are now located where the Toy Story topiaries have been in prior years. You can find them just outside of CommuniCore Hall on your way to The Land Pavilion.

Donald has new digs, too. Get it? Digs? Sorry. He’s now outside of The Land Pavilion close to The Seas with Nemo and Friends. Angry Donald is the best Donald, no?

Goofy is right where he was last year! Blowing dandelion toward Spaceship Earth on the west walkway to World Showcase – Canada side.

Pooh, Piglet, and pals are still in the U.K. Pavilion area, but they now occupy the center planters closer to the Canada Pavilion.

Captain Hook, Tick-Tock Croc, and Peter Pan now occupy the spot where Pooh and the Hundred Acre Wood friends have been for years. You’ll find them across from the Rose & Crown. Tink is in a new spot, too. She’s located in the center of the Shakespeare garden near the U.K. restrooms.

Snow White and friends are still near the water in front of the Germany pavilion, but there were a few changes we noticed to their trimmings for this festival. The flowers on Dopey’s hat are so vibrant this year! It must be said that all of the topiaries get better and better each year. We’re sure they’re at peak beauty and then Disney pops out with some new snazzy creations.

The panda topiaries in the China are in the same spot as last year and they’re just as sweet.

Anna and Elsa are in Norway just in front of Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. With the recent changes to Frozen Ever After, lots of folks will have a close view of these topiaries as they wait in longer than usual lines for the ride.

Still in the Norway pavilion but further down the path is the Troll we’ve all loved for years. His hair, blush, and even fluffier pants make him look less mischievous than years prior. He’s positively precious this year.

 

Miguel and Dante from Coco are occupying the same planter as last year – greeting guests as they enter the Mexico pavilion.

We’ll be at opening day of Flower and Garden when it kicks off March 4th. We’ll be trying all of the new dishes and we’ll research our old favorites, too, to make sure they’re still good. Stay tuned for all of the reviews and new topiary photos as they appear!
