Rise of the Floodborn Disney Springs Release

The official X page for Disney Lorcana confirmed this as well, and also detailed that new product can also be picked up at Pin Traders at Downtown Disney in Disneyland, Storybook Store at Disneyland Paris, and Disney retail stores including Times Squre in New York City.
When we arrived this morning to Disney Springs, there was a queue to enter the shopping district from the parking structure.
Most of these people were waiting for Rise of the Floodborn.
Crowd control measures were in place at World of Disney.
Most of these people are queued at World of Disney for the Rise of the Floodborn release.
There was an area set up for the queue to form. The line began moving around 9:20 to enter the store.
When it was our turn to we saw starter decks, booster packs, the Disney100 Collector’s Edition Gift Set were available.
We noticed purchase limits on a sign. Price sheets were available for the products that were available. The addition of booster packs at World of Disney is a change with this release; for the initial First Chapter release, as Disney Springs only sold starter decks and gift sets for that release and subsequent restocks, with no booster packs available for that release.
The purchase lines were long, but there was a lot of product behind the counters available to purchase.
Stock bins of booster cards were behind the registers.
More product was stocked on the shelves behind the registers.
We had no difficulty buying up to the purchase limits of the new release at World of Disney.
Rise of the Floodborn Backstory
As the new chapter of Disney Lorcana is released, Ravensburger has released some more plot to the game, explaining what Floodborn glimmers (characters) are and the cinematic story that led Illumineers (players) to this point. Between “flavor text” on the cards, short comic-style videos with high production quality, and an interview with the story lead, the Inklands in the Realm of Lorcana are beginning to take shape.
Disney Lorcana
Disney Lorcana launched earlier this year to great audience reception and demand. Both physical and digital retailers initially had difficulty keeping product on the shelves, prompting Ravensburger to announce that it will reprint cards from “The First Chapter” early next year in an effort to meet demand. The reprints will be identical to the originally issued cards in an attempt to lower inflated resale costs and provide enough product to reach everyone who wants to play.
The game was also well received by critics, earning a top-20 spot on Good Housekeeping’s Best New Toys 2023 list. Disney Lorcana will become available in 10 new countries in 2024.
Disney Lorcana’s second chapter, Rise of the Floodborn, will contain 204 cards. You can preview them all here.
A third chapter of Disney Lorcana is set to release early next year. Check out our recent interview with seven different Disney Lorcana artists here:
