Orange Bird Sipper, Little Golden Book Spring into Festival
While EPCOT bustles with spring energy, one of the most popular mascots of the 2023 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival continues to pop up across the park’s exclusive merchandise. For fans of Orange Bird, guests can now mobile order a new sipper that debuted at 11 a.m.
Available only at The Odyssey Pavillion, this year’s darling sipper showcases Orange Bird’s signature Floridian shade as well as the inspiration for his character from decades ago, the Florida orange. (It’s also a throwback to the original OB sipper.)
The sipper, available today, can be purchased in two ways. The first option for the sipper comes as a pairing with a new Little Golden Book dedicated to the nostalgic Magic Kingdom mascot.
When purchased with the book, the sipper and story retail for $19.99. When sold with the book, the sipper will come empty for those collecting the darling souvenir.
This year’s Orange Bird sipper retails for $15.00 when purchased on its own and includes a refreshing tropical orange-lemon smoothie. Like so much merchandise nowadays, the Orange Bird sipper does have a purchasing limit of 10 per customer.
Over the decades, Orange Bird has acquired quite the following as the mascot for Sunshine Tree Terrace, the Magic Kingdom purveyor of the ever-popular pineapple Dole Whip.
At this year’s festival, the Orange Bird sipper can be found at The Citrus Blossom’s new location: The Odyssey Pavillion. The location sits conveniently between Test Track and the Mexico pavillion on an often-less-traveled, peaceful walkway.
Inside The Citrus Blossom, guests can not only enjoy the pop-up shop’s snacks but also a small retail location selling much of this year’s special festival merchandise.
The location also offers a cool, air-conditioned place to relax and to enjoy a snack during the festival. The tables certainly fit in with the Floridian fruit theme.
Stay tuned for more today as MickeyBlog checks out all of the new snacks and beverages offered during this year’s festival (and of course, all of the Orange Bird merch)!
