FIRST LOOK: New Moana Topiaries Arrive at EPCOT for Flower & Garden Festival

A new display of “Moana 2” topiaries is now at the entrance of EPCOT for the 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival.

Moana Topiaries

People gather in front of a large geodesic dome with trees and decorations. Some stand, others walk, under a clear blue sky.

As previously announced, the “Moana” topiaries are in the central planter facing the park’s entrance. The planter’s flowerbeds have been replaced by a sandy “beach.” Blue flowers at the front represent ocean waves crashing into the shore. Strings of purple and white flowers hang from torches of red flowers. A hut is at the back of the display.

A green plant sculpture of a girl in a dress, holding a paddle, stands on a sandy area with tropical-themed decor and vegetation in the background.

The characters are in the foreground. Moana, wearing her outfit from the second film, leans on her oar featuring Maui’s autograph. Carvings on the oar and Moana’s necklace light up. Moana is planted in hypoestes and her hair is moss. Palm fronds are at the bottom of her skirt.

HeiHei stands on Pua’s head. Pua is also planted in hypoestes.

A statue of a large, muscular humanoid figure covered in greenery stands in a tropical-themed setting, surrounded by plants and decorated poles.

Maui, complete with his fish hook and topiary tattoos, is on the other side of the animal companions. He’s planted all in ficus. The fish hook’s carvings light up.
