Topiaries, Gardens, and Exhibits
This year’s festival will surround guests with whimsical character topiaries, breathtaking gardens, and beautifully designed exhibits throughout World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and World Showcase.
More than 60 topiaries inspired by classic Disney favorites will be blooming throughout the park. Buzz, Woody, Bo Peep and her Sheep, Lotso, and the Pixar Ball will greet guests as soon as they enter the World Celebration Neighborhood, while other pals they haven’t seen in a while, like Stitch, Mike Wazowski and Sulley, and Lightning McQueen and Mater sprout across the park. Additionally, over 31 gardens and floral displays invite guests to explore, relax, and enjoy the stunning horticulture Disney is known for.
And this year, guests can immerse themselves in several unique garden experiences, each offering its own blend of beauty, play, and discovery:
- Butterfly Landing presented by AdventHealth: Observe a kaleidoscope of butterfly species up close in this vibrant walk-through experience.
- Camp Get Out ’N’ Play Garden presented by OFF! Repellents: Families can venture into a camp themed garden where little ones are invited to jump, play, and climb.
