Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2017 - New Outdoor Kitchens and Topiaries

A 6-foot-tall topiary Figment balancing on a floral ball will be just one of the firsts that guests will experience during this spring’s Epcot® International Flower & Garden Festival at Walt Disney World® Resort.  This year's festival will be ninety days of bright blooms and whimsical creations for all of the senses begin March 1, 2017

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Daisy and Pluto will greet you at the front entrance of Epcot in a new topiary garden inspired by a vintage Walt Disney short film. Belle from the Oscar-winning Disney film “Beauty and the Beast” is getting a major topiary makeover, joining Snow White, Elsa and Anna as the next-generation “princess” topiary. In the “Cars”-themed interactive play garden: a new character topiary from the upcoming June 2017 release of “Cars 3” will join the gang.

If you are looking for a little extra inspiration, take advantage of the expanded operating hours of the Festival Center opening week, Wednesday, March 1 to Sunday, March 5, and pop into a gardening seminar or DIY workshop. During the remaining weeks of the Festival, the center will be open Friday through Sunday.

You can also sample a wide variety of tasty dishes, desserts and specialty sips at 13 enticing stations – including two new Outdoor Kitchens – sprinkled throughout World Showcase.
