EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival 2026 Blooms Bigger Than Ever With Returning Favorites and Brand New Gardens
Spring is ready to show off at EPCOT, and the 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is shaping up to be a full-on floral glow up. Disney has officially confirmed the full list of topiaries and gardens for this year’s festival, running March 4 through June 1, 2026, and it is packed with nostalgia, Pixar power, and some fresh new green spaces that feel plucked straight from the future.

With more than 60 topiaries and 30 gardens across the park, this festival is once again turning EPCOT into a living storybook you can stroll through one petal at a time. Guests entering the park will be greeted by a playful Pixar welcome featuring Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Bo Peep and her sheep, Lotso, and the iconic Pixar Ball. World Celebration also gets extra love with Mickey, Minnie, Chip n Dale, and Pluto, plus Figment popping among colorful topiary flowers.
Several long-missed favorites are finally sprouting back into view, including Stitch near Mission SPACE, Mike Wazowski and Sulley near Creations Shop, and Lightning McQueen and Mater racing back into World Discovery near Connections Café.
Around World Showcase, familiar scenes return with Beauty and the Beast in France, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in Germany, Lady and the Tramp in Italy, Princess Tiana in the American Adventure Pavilion, Miguel and Dante in Mexico, and Winnie the Pooh and friends nestled between Canada and the United Kingdom. Near the Imagination Pavilion, Simba and his pride return alongside Mirabel, Antonio, Isabela, and Luisa, making this area a must-stop photo loop.
The garden lineup is just as impressive, with a giant butterfly-shaped topiary covered in warm orange and yellow blooms taking center stage as one of the festival’s most eye-catching displays. New for 2026 is the Wildlife Crossing Garden near CommuniCore Hall, inspired by the upcoming Disney and Pixar film Hoppers and focused on how animals safely navigate shared spaces.
Pet lovers will want to sniff out the new Pet-Friendly Garden near The Seas with Nemo and Friends, while plant trend watchers can explore the Trendy Tropicals Garden between Morocco and France. The Rain or Shine Fruit Stand presented by Outshine near CommuniCore Plaza adds a splash of science by celebrating the water cycle and how it fuels crops. Fan favorites are back too, including Butterfly Landing presented by AdventHealth, the Honey Bee-stro Garden, Blossoms of Fragrance presented by Scentsy, and the English Tea Garden in the United Kingdom Pavilion.
