Epcot30 Merchandise Available Starting September 28th
From Disney Parks Blog:
Commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Epcot
with New Merchandise
Starting September 28
posted on September 25th, 2012 by Steven Miller, Merchandise Communications Manager
Being a long time fan of Epcot, I’ve been looking forward to the 30th Anniversary celebration all year long. As October 1 draws near, here are some details about our release plans for the merchandise we’ve created.
For starters, we will release a handful of items beginning Friday, September 28 at select locations throughout Epcot. This “weekend of” collection will include a few previously discussed items such as the open edition pins, the “Epcot 30” logo shirts, the baseball cap, and the “toothpick holder” set.
We will also release new items including a 12-inch Duffy the Disney Bear and four D-Tech on Demand iPhone 4/4S cases each with an edition size of 300. Also look for 11 new World Showcase shirts that are so amazing I’m writing a separate article about them.
One of the more interesting items is something new called “Cover Your Ears.” This Spaceship Earth-inspired cover will fit over a regular Mickey Mouse ear hat. Additional special ear hat embroidery will be offered at Mouse Gear through October 1.
For this anniversary, we also commissioned Noah (of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival fame) to create a futuristic image that we will offer as a giclée and deluxe print.
On Monday, October 1, we will release several “day of” items including three shirts that have “October 1, 2012” and the “Epcot 30” logo, as seen in the first image above. For those who can’t attend that weekend, those three dated shirts and the 11 World Showcase shirts will be sold via the Disney Parks online store from September 28 through October 4.
Monday will also see the release of a commemorative framed coin set and the limited edition pin collection, including the “I Was There” pin. Noah has created a few custom 3-inch and 9-inch Vinylmation figures inspired by his Epcot image. Artist John Henselmeier also designed three, 9-inch custom figures and several 3-inch custom figures that will feature original Future World pavilion logos. All of these items will be released at MouseGear starting at park open on October 1.
Finally, if you trade pins, look for a special pin that will only be found on cast members’ lanyards at Epcot starting on October 1. I hope to see you there (I’ll be wearing my retro EPCOT Center hat with gold leaves).

Really disappointed to see that everything is very limited edition. I would love one of those phone cases, but would never pay what I'm sure they are going to go for on eBay.
Will post the World Showcase shirts to this thread as well.

I think I may have to order the shirt. We won't be in the world until the end of November so I'm sure they probably will be gone.

I actually found my license plate from 'EPCOT Center' the other day. We bought it in September, 1982, and it reads 'The 21st Century Begins October 1, 1982'. I was so excited to finally find it again, and especially this year. I think I will put it in the window of the car when we go to Disney in November. I don't think they make any license plates anymore, but it would be nice to have 30th anniversary edition.

We are going to be there on the 1st but was a little bummed to see the phone cases are going out earlier and only limited to 300, we will not be able to get on the 1st b/c I am sure they will be sold out by then.
If you can dream it you can do it!!!

The Horizons merchandise is so bittersweet to see. Sigh. I can't believe it's been over 10 years and I'm still upset about it!

I'm going with a friend on Oct 1st but hoping to see something else, not really interested in a t-shirts or the pins, now I do like Duffy's Figment t-shirt! What else besides the special fireworks show is going to happen that day?

Well, it's almost 4pm, and Cindy (AgentC) is reporting there are plenty of iPhone cases and lots of all the merchandise. Weird. Me thinks there may have been more produced than announced?

disney store is selling the shirts for one week only... so i ordered the japan shirt and now have to wait almost 2 months to get it I find that a little odd...
