Disney Lorcana at EPCOT Festival of the Arts: New Quests, Rewards, and Photo Ops

Hey Disney Vacationers! Disney Lorcana is officially joining the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and Disney just shared full details on how the trading card game will be woven into this year’s event. If you love collecting, scavenger hunts, or anything Figment-level creative, this is a big addition.

Quick Summary

• Two new Lorcana activities: Collection Quest + Ink & Find
• Exclusive merchandise-style rewards: Two limited-edition promo cards
• Locations: Illumineer’s Lounge (Morocco), Figment’s Inspiration Station, and stations across EPCOT
• Extras: Festival Questbook + Fabled-set photo backdrop
• Dates: January 17–February 23, 2026

Let’s look at how we’ll see Disney Lorcana at EPCOT Festival of the Arts this year.

How Disney Lorcana Is Joining the Festival

Disney is bringing Lorcana into the festival with a mix of hands-on card trading, scavenger-style exploration, and art-driven rewards. It lines up perfectly with the Festival of the Arts theme—creativity, storytelling, and visual design.

Lorcana Activities at EPCOT: Two Ways to Play

Guests can jump into one or both experiences to earn limited-edition cards made just for the festival.

1. Collection Quest — Trade & Collect

Location: Illumineer’s Lounge (Morocco Pavilion)

How it works:

• Open Disney Lorcana booster packs
• Trade cards with other festival guests
• Complete a short in-lounge challenge (quest)

Reward:

• Exclusive “Magical Places” promo card — available only during the festival while supplies last

2. Ink & Find — Parkwide Scavenger Hunt

Location: Across EPCOT

How it works:

• Search for oversized Lorcana cards hidden around the park
• Match each card’s “ink” type to stickers in a free Festival Questbook
• Visit both World Celebration and World Showcase as you complete your Questbook

Reward:

• Second limited-edition promo card — earned when you finish the Questbook

Where to Start & Redeem

• Pick up your Festival Questbook:
  On the bridge between World Celebration and World Showcase
• Redeem your reward cards:
  • Illumineer’s Lounge (Morocco Pavilion)
  • Figment’s Inspiration Station at The Odyssey

You can complete both experiences at your own pace throughout the festival.

Artful Lorcana Photo Op

Don’t miss the new Lorcana-themed photo backdrop featuring artwork from the Fabled set. It shows Mickey Mouse as the Brave Little Prince and Minnie Mouse as his Sweetheart Princess, riding a whimsical carousel. It’s a bright, storybook-style scene that fits perfectly with the festival’s artistic energy.

What Is Disney Lorcana?

Disney Lorcana is a trading card game created by Ravensburger in partnership with Disney. It launched in 2023 and has quickly built a devoted fanbase.

Players take on the role of an Illumineer, using magical ink to summon “glimmers” — alternate versions of Disney characters from across the multiverse. These glimmers include everything from heroic Mickey cards to powerful Maleficent forms and playful versions of Stitch, Elsa, and more.

Each card features original art created just for the game, blending collectible appeal with strong gameplay strategy. It’s a natural fit for a festival that highlights creativity and design.

My Thoughts

While I’m not someone who collects Lorcana myself, I think this is a great addition to the Festival of the Arts. Trading cards are booming right now, and Disney usually trails behind big trends — but bringing Lorcana into the festival feels right on time.

The Ink & Find freshens up the classic EPCOT scavenger hunt format, and it gives guests a fun way to trade, learn the game, and walk away with a “free” festival-exclusive keepsake. It would not surprise me if this becomes one of the nice add-on experiences next year.

Adding Lorcana gives the festival another layer of creativity and discovery. It fits EPCOT in a way that feels natural during the Festival of the Arts, and I hope this becomes a recurring part of the event.

Disney Lorcana’s debut at the EPCOT Festival of the Arts brings new energy, new collectibles, and a fresh way to explore the park and see art in a different way — and for many festival-goers, those exclusive promo cards are about to jump straight to the top of the must-do list.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
