On October 1, 1982, Card Walker dedicated the second park in Walt Disney World, saying, “May EPCOT Center entertain, inform, and inspire, and above all may it instill a new sense of belief and pride in man’s ability to shape a world that offers hope to people everywhere in the world.” Since then, EPCOT has invited guests to journey around the world, the depths of the sea, and to galaxies beyond belief!

As we get closer to the anniversary date, we are beginning to see more and more news regarding the big celebration.

EPCOT40 Merchandise

Today, Disney teased us with some merchandise available in the EPCOT 40th Anniversary Celebration on their social media channels. From the teaser, we can see a special light up wand, new ears, several shirts showing off decals for EPCOT40 and a brand new Loungefly! Did any of those catch your attention?

Be sure to check Disney Parks Blog for information regarding the release date and details for all of the brand new merchandise!

I (Maggie) want to know more about this wand. I would say it looks like a light saber, but we’re at EPCOT here! Disney has shared that more details regarding the release date and merchandise will be released tomorrow on Disney Parks Blog.
