Disney Debuts World Showcase Character and Food Pins at EPCOT

The new designs link specific characters and snacks to World Showcase pavilions in a targeted in-park collector rollout.

Overview

  • Reports published July 7–8 show character pins are on sale in-park for $17.99 at Disney Traders and Gateway Gifts, and a separate food-pin set was placed at World Traveler for $19.99 each.
  • The character series pairs films with pavilions, including Luca and Pinocchio for Italy, Marie/Belle/Remy for France, Elsa and a troll for Norway, Rapunzel and Snow White for Germany, Miguel for Mexico, and Mei Lee for Canada.
  • Character pins use a pin-on-pin layout with the World Showcase compass-rose logo and flag-color backgrounds, while the food pins feature raised, rubbery snack sculpts mounted on enamel Mickey-head shapes in each country’s flag colors.
  • Cast Members at World Traveler said the food pins were 'just put out on the rack' and did not know if more snack designs or additional pavilions will be added, suggesting the food-pin rollout may be limited or phased.
  • The release taps into a longrunning Disney pin-collecting hobby and collectors should expect quick sell-throughs, in-store restocks, or additional pavilion designs as the likely next developments to watch for.
