EPCOT 30th Merchandise

Somewhere over the course of the past couple years, EPCOT has seemed to replace Magic Kingdom as my favorite Walt Disney World park. It's the one I end up at the most as it's so enjoyable to just go, walk around, take pictures and have a bite to eat there. This October the park turns 30. It's undergone many changes over the years... some of our favorite attractions have come and gone. I'm not sure if it's just rose colored glasses, but today's EPCOT attractions do not seem to be as cool as some of the extinct ones. I also enjoy the retro designs of EPCOT much more than styles we see today. That is why I was thrilled when I read the latest post on the Disney Parks Blog. It is a sneak peak at some of the upcoming merchandise, and very specifically, pins.

I'm really excited about all the retro inspired merchandise that will be coming out later this year. But I have to say, just as my bank account was recovering from last year's WDW 40th and The Florida Project, I am afraid I'll see another dip this fall. No mention of Vinylmation... but what would you like to see? Some single 3" or 9"? How about an LE set? Coming on the heals of a few EPCOT related LE sets from the WDW-centric Park 7 (Kitchen Kaberet and Tapestry of Nations) I'm not sure how much we will see, but I would love it!
