Epcot prepares for the Food and Wine Festival and Biergarten unleashed a tremendous line of merchandise in our latest report from Epcot:
Prep work is in full swing for the 2016 Food and Wine Festival
A lot of work going on in MouseGear
A Build-Your-Own-Lightsaber kiosk was added to the Star Wars section
The Liquid Layer play area is closed for refurbishment… during the hottest time of the year…
Don’t worry, ti was just after 7… Yeah, 7…
Lighting rigs up by the Festival Center, not sure as to why
Some Norwegian art was added to the rather bare exit walls of Frozen Ever After
Germany had a number of merchandise items that were at least new to me
As much Rose and Crown merchandise as there is, Biergarten might have even more…
I also found this rather charming Rapunzel shirt for kids
When did Disney start selling their own Hidden Mickey book?
We saw the Hidden Mickey book in Germany when we visited mid July. Sure wish we could come back for the Food and Wine Festival!
Another photo report heavily skewed towards stuff to buy in the gift shops. Out of 28 total pictures there are 21 featuring gift shop items that’s 75%, looks like Tom is, or at least should be, working for Disney Marketing/Merchandising Department. There has to be more happening to report on at EPCOT than 2 closures, 2 signs for stuff that’s going to happen, and all that gift shop restocking.
