Located near the EPCOT main entrance, these new topiaries are sure to be a must-do photo moment to mark your visit,” Disney explained on its blog. “A new Princess Tiana topiary will grace The American Adventure. Plus, we also have returning favorites such as Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs; Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and Tick Tock Croc; Figment; Anna and Elsa; and more.”
