A merchandise buffet awaits guests at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival now through Nov. 12, 2018. Special event merchandise invites “foodies” of all types to bring home merchandise that is useful around your kitchen.
“Products are both commemorative and functional,” explained Cathy Dawson, Product Developer for Merchandise Special Events. “These items will assist guests with recreating the tasting-around-the-world experience at home especially when paired with a Festival cookbook.”
Most of the home merchandise comes in a cream and wine colored scheme and features Chef Mickey Mouse exploring the Festival. A few new merchandise items have hit the festival including a ceramic pie plate, wooden pepper mill, bottle-shaped cutting board, and a serving dish.
Foodie Figment's beloved artwork from last year's event still shows his culinary love on apparel, drinkware, and coasters. Chef Remy from Disney•Pixar’s “Ratatouille” appears on aprons, kitchenware, ornaments and more. “The [Figment and Remy] merchandise was a tremendous hit with guests last fall, so it was important we include them in this year’s assortment. The Remy-themed measuring spoons look adorable, and they are useful for would-be chefs,” continued Cathy.
For the craft beer lovers in your family, don't miss the “Brews Around the World” collection which includes must-have apparel, barware, and accessories. My favorite item is the coaster that doubles as an opener!
Trendy apparel, such as a Spirit Jersey or cork-inspired headband, with a stylish handbag by Dooney & Bourke are available for the food fashionista.
Annual Passholders can discover the exclusive handbag design along with several other treasures including a Raglan T-shirt, drinkware, and a limited release pin shaped like Spaceship Earth.
Of course there's always new pins to collect including limited edition pins of kitchen-inspired scenes, from Snow White baking a personalized pie for Grumpy to Timon and Simba enjoying grubs.
Look for these items and more, including the fan-favorite Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt, at the Festival Center located adjacent to Mission: SPACE, and in select merchandise locations throughout Epcot.
