PHOTOS: New Super-Realistic Character Topiaries Make Early Debut for 2014 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival

If you have visited the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival before, you’ve undoubtedly seen the famous character topiaries that are the highlight of the annual event. Well, prepare to see them in an entirely new way in 2014…

Unlike years past, the details of the character will not only be made completely from greenery, but they will be incredibly accurate to every character detail. We were anxious to see the changes to the topiaries when Disney promised they would have a “computer generated look” this year, but I can honestly say, we were not expecting anything like what we saw at Epcot yesterday. These Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs topiaries arrived a little early and give us a great look at what to expect from all of the characters this year.

Just look at the detail in Snow White’s shoe!

Here is what the display looked like last year:

Lady and the Tramp also debuted early and were looking much better this year

So, what do you think of the new look for the character topiaries in 2014?

    • Thanks Mike W. although I did read the article, the term "greenery" can mean artificial, but I can't wait to see them in person this spring.

  1. I'm really glad at the new style. It brings a little more 'realism' and looks a lot more professional than the original versions. I could sympathise with hardened gardeners that might be disappointed that Disney have gone down this route, but for me, kids will love it more than ever!

    Said to see the traditional methods go, but very happy to see something better evolve from the imagineers!
