The annual EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival officially returned to EPCOT on March 2 and Guests have been enjoying fresh cuisine, colorful gardens, beautiful topiaries, and fun-filled entertainment.

For this year’s Flower and Garden Festival, Guests can look forward to a few brand new topiaries just for Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary! One of the new topiaries will be displayed at the entrance of EPCOT and will feature Goofy and a 50th-themed birthday cake.

In addition to new topiaries, Guests will also see classic character topiaries like in year’s past such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Germany pavilion and Lumiere and Cogsworth at the front of the brand-new expansion to the France pavilion.

As we are a few months into the Festival, the flowers began to look a bit dismal and dull due to the hot Florida sun. The good news is Disney just replanted some of the flower gardens and they look brand-new!

Bioreconstruct shared a side by side photo on Twitter, showcasing how much difference a little replanting makes! The garden is much brighter and bolder now that Disney made the upgrade. Per their Tweet:
