In celebration of the June 19th theatrical release of Toy Story 5, Buzz, Woody, Bo Peep & her sheep, Lotso, and the Pixar Ball will be the first topiary you see in World Celebration. While there aren’t any brand new topiaries this year, there are some we haven’t seen crop up in a few years — including Mike and Sulley of Monsters, Inc., Lightning McQueen and Mater from Cars, and Stitch!
