Epcot’s Flower & Garden Topiary Watch 2026. We are on the hunt for the 2026 Disney character topiaries being installed around Epcot! Join us as we discover when and where the Disney Topiaries will be located.
EPCOT Festivals 2026 — Complete Guide to All Four Festivals
The Disney Horticulture Cast Members are hard at work getting Epcot ready for the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, opening March 4th, 2026, and the topiary you thought you knew where it was located has probably been moved. Plus, we think we know the Main Entrance Disney Topiary that will take the centerpiece this year.
Originally, we wrote a Guide to all the Disney character topiaries for 2026, and now we have to go back and fix the list because they are on the move. We have told you all about Figment moving from the central garden in World Celebration to a spot closer to the World Showcase bridge. Stitch has taken over the Mission Space entrance, moving Buzz Lightyear out of the way (but that is for a good reason, as we will explain shortly)
Updated March 2nd, 2026 – Pixar Toy Story Characters like Buzz, Woody, Bo Peep and her sheep, a Pixar Ball, and Lotso, along with Cars Mater & Lightning McQueen topiaries, are now out. Furthermore, we got to see a new Pixar Hopper’s Garden this morning
Updated February 26th, 2026 – Groot Topiary, Moana, Mickey & Pals, Princess Tiana, and the Canadian Geese have all been installed as of today. We recently had some freeze warnings in central Florida, so there was a small delay while Disney Horticulture did what they could to cover all the flowers and topiaries. We are now having beautiful weather!
Okay, let’s start at the Main Entrance and move through World Nature, World Celebration, World Discovery, and finally World Showcase. We walked the whole Disney park this morning and have firsthand images. This year’s centerpiece at the main entrance to Epcot will most likely be Pixar’s Toy Story characters. Buzz, Woody, Bo Peep (and her sheep), Lotso, and the Pixar Ball.
- Gardner Donald Duck and his nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, are now in World Nature.
- The Lion King – Simba, Mufasa, Sarabi, and Rafiki are in the same location in World Nature by Imagination Pavilion!
- Ecanto Topiary has moved to World Nature next to The Lion King.
- FYI: In between these two topiaries is the new Kids Chalk Zone.
- Moana, Maui, HeiHei, and Pua are in the central World Showcase spot.
- Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Chip & Dale are at the start of World Showcase Bridge.
- I am GROOT! is back in World Discovery
Disney’s World Showcase Topiary Watch 2026:
- Tinkerbells Fairy Garden and Topiary have been installed in the Shakespeare Garden in front of the UK restrooms
- 100-Acre Wood Friends, Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, and Piglet are across Tinkerbell now, along the water.
- Princess Tiana has now been placed in the American Adventure gardens.
- Lady and the Tramp are in the same Italian location.
- Snow White & Dopey have been placed in Germany in the same spot, close to the Water Transportation Dock. The rest of the Seven Drawfs have been placed. Grumpy, Bashful, Sleepy, Doc, Sneezy, and Happy are now placed.
- China placed the Panda Bears
- In Norway, Elsa & Anna are in front of Frozen Ever After, and no, they didn’t get a facial upgrade as the attraction did! They look good how they are. While the ride animatronics just got a high-tech facelift, these floral versions are sticking to their classic roots!
- The Norway Gnome is now located on the waterside of Norway, across from the entrance to Frozen Ever After. He also did not get a facial upgrade! (These are the jokes, because the ride just got new animatronics.)
- Finally, just placed in Mexico was Dante and Miguel
