I was recently asked by a Disney Parks Blog reader if we have any Celtic jewelry featuring Mickey Mouse. I visited Sylvie Brumbaugh, product developer for World Showcase, to find the answer. She is responsible for the merchandise found at the United Kingdom Pavilion at Epcot (you may recall our recent conversation about Beatles merchandise). Sylvie was delighted to share that three new Celtic jewelry items will soon be introduced at the pavilion in late August.
“For the past few years, the United Kingdom Pavilion at Epcot has offered a selection of sterling silver jewelry by Kit Heath,” explained Sylvie. “This is the first time that we are introducing necklaces and earrings that have a Celtic design inspired by Mickey Mouse.”
Sylvie said these designs have been in development for a few years. The artwork for the designs was originally created by artists at Disney Design Group. The new items join an expanding assortment of Kit Heath jewelry offered at the pavilion.
Once released, they will only be found in the jewelry room located between the Queen’s Table and the Lords & Ladies shops in the United Kingdom Pavilion. They won’t be offered via the Disney Parks online store.
