Toy Story character topiaries are now in position at the front of EPCOT for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, which runs from March 4 to June 1, 2026. Most of the Toy Story topiaries aren’t new but have been moved to the entrance this year in honor of Toy Story 5, in theaters June 19. The Lotso, Pixar Ball, and Cars-themed topiaries have returned after a long hiatus.

Toy Story Topiaries

Woody, Bo Peep, and her sheep were in World Nature for the past several years, while Buzz Lightyear was in front of Mission: SPACE. All of them are now facing the front of the park, greeting guests entering the park.

Returning after about a decade is the Pixar ball topiary. It’s in the center of the display with three flower towers behind it. There are also toy block planters throughout the flowerbed. Monkeys from Barrel of Monkeys are dangling from nearby trees.

The “B” block has a picture of Buzz. The “A” block has a picture of Woody. And the “C” block has a picture of Rex.

At the back of the flowerbed, facing Spaceship Earth, is another topiary that has been absent for about 10 years: Lotso.

The villainous bear from Toy Story 3 stands beside an oversized pinwheel.

Flower Topiaries

Just past the entrance are a pair of flower topiaries. These are at the base of Spaceship Earth. Each topiary is a ball within a giant pink flower frame.

Lightning McQueen and Mater Topiaries

Lightning McQueen and Mater are also returning after several years absent from the festival. These topiaries are in World Discovery, near Connections Café. This flowerbed was previously home to the Community Garden, but that has moved to World Nature.

Lady and the Tramp Topiaries

Other topiaries recently erected include Lady and the Tramp in the Italy pavilion. They’re in their usual location on the platform in the center of the pavilion, surrounded by potted flowers.

Beauty and the Beast Topiaries

In the France pavilion are characters from Beauty and the Beast. Belle and the Beast are at the end of the flowerbed in front of the Impressions de France theater.

Cogsworth and Lumiere are in a flowerbed in front of the hedge maze.
