Have you been to Disney World to celebrate its 50th anniversary yet? If you have, you’ve probably tried some delicious 50th anniversary snacks, seen the 50th anniversary statues, and bought some 50th anniversary merchandise.
EPCOT turns 40 this year!
But another BIG milestone is coming soon in Disney World — EPCOT will celebrate its 40th anniversary on October 1st, 2022! We’ve had a sneak peek at some of the merchandise, including the spirit jersey, but Disney just released a list of MORE merchandise you’ll be able to get to celebrate this occasion!
The new collection will include clothing, accessories, and pins to celebrate EPCOT’s big birthday — and some of that merchandise will feature the little purple dragon that is quickly becoming the face of EPCOT — Figment! There will be t-shirts, sweatshirts…

We’re digging the 80s vibes that a lot of this merchandise is giving off — retro EPCOT for the win! There will also be a Spaceship Earth figurine, a Harveys Figment Crossbody Bag, trading pins, and an Alex and Ani Charm Bracelet. Merchandise will be released in EPCOT on October 1st, with some items available online at shopDisney.

And D23 Gold members will get a shot at buying an exclusive limited-edition EPCOT 40th Anniversary Pin, which will be available on shopDisney at 7AM PST on September 26th. The pins are $14.99 each.

You know, it’s as if they spent their entire budget on Magic Kingdom and the 50th and now they think, ok oh yeah, now it’s EPCOTS turn. A few things are cute but I guess I expected something more. I guess all the construction doesn’t help 🤷♀️
