It isn’t just the rides that make Disney theme parks so special; the magic is in the details. Everything from scented walkways to perfectly themed areas that enhance the stories of Disney work together to make an unforgettable environment for guests to experience. One of my favorite ways that the Disney powers that be express their creativity is in a fusion of nature and fantasy, drawing more of the characters and stores into the natural surroundings within different areas of the parks. A new example of this has just arrived in EPCOT, and I’m in love. Near the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction, you can now find this gorgeous new Groot topiary during the 2024 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, which officially kicks off on Wednesday, February 28, 2024.
Isn’t he beautiful? Being that the character already has a natural element to it, I love the way he has been crafted so perfectly in the landscape outside of this attraction. Groot looks strong and mighty but also cute and adorable at the same time, true to the beloved character. Will you be stopping by to get a photo with the new Groot topiary?
