It’s the time of year when EPCOT is in full bloom! The 2023 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival begins on March 1st.
Besides the farm fresh fare at the food kitchens, the Flower and Garden Festival is well-known for its exquisite character topiaries. Cast Members are hard at work preparing these impressive structures, and Disney has given us a sneak peek!
We have already seen the flower tribute to the Three Caballeros and more topiaries, but there are plenty more topiaries receiving final tweaks before they make their debut. There are quite a few Encanto characters on the way, including the sisters Mirabel, Isabella, and Luisa …
… as well as their cousin Antonio. He even has a feathered friend!
Princess Tiana is also making an appearance. They fittingly chose to portray her in the iconic lily pad gown, a perfect choice when you’re working with greenery!
Disney’s Horticulture and Walt Disney Imagineering teams worked together to create these intricate displays, with some of the designs requiring nearly a year of preparation! You can see more about these amazing topiaries in the video below.
