Farewell Illuminations Merchandise Now Available at Epcot
The Farewell Illuminations merchandise that Disney announced a few weeks ago is now available at Epcot. Epcot’s longtime headliner evening show, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, will be making its final performance on September 30, 2019. This merchandise collection is to commemorate that event. These items are available at MouseGear in Epcot, and like all other time-sensitive items, once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Personally, I’m finding these items underwhelming. Despite being presented in the dark, I’ve always thought of Illuminations as vibrant spectacle. These pieces just read as dull to me. And I can’t figure out why the only image of the iconic globe is only on one item, presented as though the Guardians of the Galaxy have cleaved it in two. Alas.

Are these items worthy of IllumiNations? Are they are they on your must-buy list? Will Derek be writing about them in the Outlet Report in October? Let us know your thoughts.
I absolutely agree!!!!!!!
They are not worthy. The font they chose is cartoonish which doesn’t reflect the spirit of the show. Even worse, they added characters. Mickey and Figment do not play any part in the show. Apparently it was too much to ask to have the farewell merchandise reflect the dignified tone and spirit of one of the best shows they ever created.
I agree, they could have done so much better. I’ll get the ornament, which is, thankfully, character free.
Actually, upon further inspection, it’s not character free. That’s disappointing
