Stitch and More Topiaries Installed for 2026 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival

Even more topiaries have been installed for the upcoming EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival at Walt Disney World Resort. Characters include Stitch, Miguel and Dante, Tinker Bell, Donald Duck, and more.

World Discovery

Stitch – Near Mission: SPACE

The Stitch topiary is placed inside a flower bed near Mission: SPACE. This is the first time the Stitch topiary has appeared since 2019. Buzz Lightyear has been in this location for the past several years but will join other Toy Story characters at the park’s main entrance this year.

World Nature

Donald, Huey, Dewey, & Louie – Near The Land Pavilion

Donald and his nephews are part of The Community Garden, which has moved from World Discovery to World Nature. This garden takes up two large flowerbeds between The Land and The Seas pavilions.

Isabela makes an arc of flowers above her head. Antonio has his friend Pico the toucan. Mirabel is holding a glowing butterfly. And Luisa is flexing.

Tinker Bell Topiary – UK Pavilion

The Tinker Bell topiary sits in a garden outside the UK restrooms.

Small fairy cottages made of reclaimed and natural materials sit on tree stumps throughout the garden. This garden used to be located on the other side of the pavilion.

Hundred Acre Wood Friends – UK Pavilion

Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet, and Rabbit are in flowerbeds between the UK and Canada pavilions. In recent years, they were in the flowerbeds outside Sportsman’s Shoppe but Peter Pan, Captain Hook, and Tick-Tock Croc have taken over that location.

Snow White and Dopey – Germany Pavilion

Anna and Elsa – Norway Pavilion

Anna and Elsa are accompanied by giant snowflake topiaries outside the Norway pavilion. They are on the side with the Frozen Ever After entrance. The ride was recently revamped with new physical faces for the Audio-Animatronics.

Anna and Elsa are depicted in their main outfits from the first Frozen film.

Troll – Norway Pavilion

In an homage to Norwegian folklore and Maelstrom, the ride Frozen Ever After replaced, a troll topiary returns every year. The troll has moved from a flowerbed close to the Royal Sommerhus to a flowerbed near the lagoon.

Other topiaries that have been installed include Phineas and Ferb, Goofy, Bambi and friends, butterflies, and Figment. There will be over 60 topiaries at this year’s festival, which runs from March 4 to June 1, 2026.
