Disney-Themed Topiaries at Epcot’s 2018 Flower and Garden Festival

Beauty and the Beast

One of the highlights of Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival is discovering the many topiaries nestled throughout the park. These natural sculptures look spectacular during the daytime under the sun or all lit up at night. Here are some you can scout out on your visit to Epcot’s 2018 Flower and Garden Festival

Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto

Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto

The first topiaries guests see as they walk through Epcot’s main entrance are Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto welcoming visitors in front of the Spaceship Earth geosphere. I love Pluto’s sunflower collar!

Donald Duck with Huey, Dewey, and Louie

Figment

Figment Epcot

Figment gets prime real estate right in the middle of Epcot with the iconic Spaceship Earth geosphere in the background. This was a very popular photo spot.

Butterflies

One of my favorite topiaries was this incredible dragon adorned with bromeliads in the China Pavilion.

Anna and Elsa

Anna and Elsa

The two beloved princesses from Frozen have foregone chilly Arendelle weather in favor of some Florida sunshine in the Norway Pavilion.

Troll

A sign next to this troll topiary in the Norway Pavilion explains that trolls are considered important in Norwegian culture because they used to believe the mountains were formed by trolls who turned to stone.

Final Thoughts

The topiaries are so creative this year, and it’s amazing to see the botanical details up close and in person. The ones that seemed to be the most popular when I visited were Beauty and the Beast, Figment, Snow White, and, of course, the topiaries of Mickey Mouse and his friends at Epcot’s entrance. Which topiary do you like the best?
