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.
