Also new for next year is the Remy topiary, which will be on display inside the Ratatouille Garden in the France Pavilion. Based on the popular 2007 Pixar film, Remy will be surrounded by veggies that one would find in an actual ratatouille recipe. The festival will also bring back it's 17 unique festival kitchens, including some local Florida fare that guests will delight in! Families can indulge in special behind the scenes tours as well. My personal favorite — the English Tea Garden Tour presented by Twinings — is one of the best (and inexpensive) things to do during this festival.

Some popular topiaries will be returning next year, including Kermit the Frog, Buzz Lightyear, Pluto, and more. The popular butterfly garden will also come back, giving guests a chance to interact with dozens of butterflies inside of their enclosure. This festival has grown substantially in 27 years, and it's continuously my favorite Disney festival. If you're thinking of going next year, go! This is a festival you can not miss.
