WorldCup Soccer merchandise in Epcot???

[lala5176]

Hey there. If anyone has been to Epcot recently, I was wondering if they had any world cup soccer merchandise in the store at the Italy Pavilion.
Just thought maybe someone would have noticed. We arrive on Fathers Day and was hoping to find a gift for my husband. ( I know last minute)Thanks !!

I didn't "notice" any in Italy during my trip last month,but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the World Showcase countries now have merch.

I did notice United Kingdom had some World Cup merch for sale.

There is also the temporary World Cup Soccer store they have opened in Downtown Disney.

Was there for the F&G show and they had a small area set up selling balls, shirts, etc.

I was there two weeks ago and they had turned one of the gift shops near the main entrance to the world showcase into World Cup central. They definitely have stuff from all counties. We were caught there in a rainstorm which became very expensive for DH's Father's Day as well! I'm assuming that store will stay through the games! It was over by the Duffy Bear store if that helps.

A. There's always soccer stuff in the shops in the England, Germany and Italy. At times the Scottish section of the main store in the England also has gear, but that's been sporadic over the years.

B. When I was down last month I noticed that there are more national team items in those pavilions, and other World Cup gear on sale in random other stores in Epcot. As noted one of the two stores right on the lake at Showcase Plaza has a big display of World Cup stuff ... mostly Mexico and US gear IIRC.

C. As noted there is now a soccer only store located in Downtown Disney that will be open through the end of the World Cup

Duffy is in Disney Traders("twin" store on the left)so the Soccer merch must be in Port of Entry("twin" store on right).

I can't remember where it was exactly, maybe by Village Traders?, but there was an outdoor market with shirts and gear with the Brazil colors. It may have been near Italy but I don't think they would allow THAT!

Great idea btw! I thought, I'll get one of those when I come back around and of course never did

No. They have removed the Duffy items from the Duffy shop and turned it into a World Cup store.

Thanks!

I took "By" the Duffy Store" not to mean "IN" the Duffy Store!lol

That would definitely be Disney Traders then.

Awesome!!!! Thanks everyone for all your responses. A whole store dedicated to me spending lots of money on soccer gear Can't wait to go!!!

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread

The store at Downtown Disney has kits for all the teams, but no additional merchandise. I went looking for a US Soccer shirt for DH. He didn't want the cost of a jersey, because he already bought a Cameroon jersey. They also didn't have scarves. I'll head over to Epcot tomorrow, hopefully and find something over there.

Lots of stuff in the Duffy store and several items at other stores and outside carts.

When we were there earlier this week there is also a HUGE topiary/floral/garden scene dedicated to the World Cup. One of my fave items was a shirt that had Mickey kicking a soccer ball... Mickey and the ball were made up of all the different flags. There were also jerseys.

Disney debuted it during Flower & Garden-great Photo Op.

It should be a WILDLY popular Photo Op when The World Cup actually starts!

We will be down in 13 days, but who's counting (ha ha). I am not sure if it was the last WC or the previous one, but Disney has t-shirts for the different countries with Disney characters on it. I specifically remember buying the Brazil one for my Ds, I'm pretty sure it had Donald on it (it could of possibly been Mickey though) with a soccer ball, clearly WC themed. I am curious to see if they will have any Disney themed WC merchandise this time around as well.

I would say thee is an excellent chance.

It looks like Disney is going "all out" for this World Cup-they are showing all matches live from Epcot.

This will be the first time in WDW history that live TV has been shown IN one of the Parks.
