EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival has always celebrated Disney’s most beloved characters through its beautifully designed topiaries, and in 2025, Moana is finally joining the lineup. With Moana 2 on the horizon, Disney is bringing the adventurous spirit of the Polynesian Wayfinder to the festival in a stunning new way.
Moana, Maui, and More Take Center Stage
For the first time ever, topiaries of Moana, Maui, Heihei, and Pua will welcome guests at the main entrance of EPCOT. These lush, artistic creations are expected to showcase the bravery and determination of Moana while incorporating the detailed floral work the festival is known for.
Disney has yet to reveal a first look at the designs, but if previous topiaries are anything to go by, guests can expect an intricate and colorful display. The timing of Moana’s arrival couldn’t be better, as excitement builds for the release of her next big-screen adventure on Disney+.
Festival Expansions and New Features
Beyond the debut of Moana and her friends, the 2025 festival is set to include several exciting new additions:
- Two New Outdoor Kitchens – Festival favorites like fresh produce and seasonal dishes will be joined by brand-new flavors.
- A Themed Playground – Young adventurers will have a new space to explore, inspired by Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts.
- New Festival Photo Spots – Disney will expand its interactive photo opportunities, with more themed backdrops for guests to enjoy.
These additions promise to make the 2025 festival one of the most immersive yet, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Moana’s Growing Presence at EPCOT
Moana has become a major part of EPCOT’s transformation. From the opening of Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, to this latest addition at the Flower & Garden Festival, Disney is making sure the spirit of the ocean-loving explorer is felt throughout the park.
With her growing presence in EPCOT, could even more Moana experiences be on the way? While Disney hasn’t announced anything further, it’s clear that Moana’s role at the park is only getting bigger.
Guests visiting the 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will get the chance to celebrate Moana’s journey in a brand-new way, making this year’s event a must-see for fans of the fearless adventurer.
