Although they do make boatloads of money, most visitors/guests don’t visit every year. So Disney can easily recycle topiary and change locations without too many people really noticing or continue reading “Recycled” Topiary … In 2009 Nora and I flew down for a long weekend in May. This was the first year I recall seeing a sand sculpture at the Flower and Garden Festival. My recall is that the sculpture was to promote the Disney Nature series. In 2008 Disney had founded a new division to work on nature continue reading Sand Sculpture … Calvin and I were at Epcot yesterday. Turns out the Cars 2 topiary is still on display. The signs about the cars representing each country are gone but the flags are still out. I neglected to say in my post that these are big flags. They are over 6 feet tall and maybe 10 feet continue reading Cars 2 Topiary still on display … I already raved about the Minnie and Mickey Picnic topiary… The Cars 2 topiary had the potential to steal the show. Unfortunately for half the festival Mater was not on display. I happened to be at Epcot two days in a row and was there the day he appeared (April 21st). The delay was rumored continue reading Cars 2 Topiary … My memory is not that good but I recall Pooh topiary from past years. That said – I’m not easily finding old photos to prove it. The Pooh topiary occupied a large space where the dolphin display was last year. The display was ok but nothing spectacular. Here are some photos for your enjoyment if continue reading Pooh Topiary … For those of you who always enjoyed the butterfly house at Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, 2011 brought a surprise. If you walked toward World Showcase from the fountain in Future World and turned left to find the butterfly house – you may have feared all was lost. Where the butterfly house had encircled the continue reading Butterfly House …
Immediately behind Spaceship Earth was one of if not the best topiary at the 2011 Epcot Flower and Garden festival. My photos will not do it justice. Delphiniums stand up taller than the surrounding flowers which encircle the crew and their picnic blanket. As I visited over the course of continue reading Mickey and Minnie’s Picnic … Every year there are new topiaries at the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. But I realize that it would be too huge (or maybe expensive) an undertaking to make all new topiaries. So sometimes an existing topiary is just slightly modified. For 2011 it appears to me that Donald and Daisy were slightly altered as continue reading Donald and Daisy Topiary … What is Disney doing? Did you see the topiary at the entrance to the festival this year? Do you remember a couple of years back how awesome the pirate ship with Peter Pan, Captain Hook, et al was? What about the one where the Fab 5 are at the beach – a theme which carried continue reading 2011 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, Entrance Topiary … |
