If it’s anything like past festivals, most countries in the World Showcase will get one, along with some bonus offerings in other parts of the park. Click Here to See Last Year’s List of Food Booths! Topiaries One of the most iconic things about the Flower & Garden Festival is the ACTUAL flowers and gardens. All around the park, you’ll find Disney characters in colorful topiary form, and they are truly amazing to admire! In the past, we’ve seen everyone from Buzz Lightyear to Miss Piggy to Elsa, so we’re definitely interested to see what characters make this list in 2022. There are going to be so many beautiful topiaries! Disney has already confirmed that Cogsworth and Lumiere will be on display in the France Pavilion, while Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will be coming back to Germany. Also, the front of the park will feature a special 50th Anniversary topiary with Goofy and a birthday cake! Click Here to See the 50th Anniversary Topiary in Magic Kingdom!

Disney confirmed that new collections will be arriving in the park just in time for the 2022 Flower & Garden Festival, and we can’t wait to see what they’ve got. Last year’s festival merchandise was beautiful! In the past, we’ve seen a lot of Spike the Bee-related merch (he is the festival mascot, after all!), and this year, we can expect to get “vibrant apparel, drinkware, accessories, and more.” We can’t wait!
