The Mexico Pavilion of EPCOT has a new merchandise collection inspired by the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros.
The new apparel, tumbler, and throw blanket join a Loungefly mini backpack, ear headband, and plush.
The tumbler is clear with a red lid. It features the faces of the Three Caballeros wearing sombreros. Below them, “Mexico” is printed in stripes of green, white, and red inspired by the country’s flag.
The Three Caballeros are Donald Duck, Panchito Pistoles, and José Carioca. Donald debuted in the 1934 Disney short “The Wise Little Hen.” José was introduced in “Saludos Amigos” in 1942.
The trio was complete with the introduction of Panchito in “The Three Caballeros” in 1944. Gran Fiesta Tour is loosely inspired by the film, featuring elements like a flying carpet and the Aracuan Bird, which also appear on this merchandise.
Behind the birds, the Mexican flag wraps around the cup. There are also black musical notes and flowers.
The throw blanket is dark blue with white tassels. It’s 50 inches by 60 inches, or 127 centimeters by 152 centimeters.
The throw’s design features the Three Caballeros on their flying carpet. Red, white, and green fireworks go off behind them. There are white stars and musical notes in the sky. The Aracuan Bird flies in the corner. “¡Saludos Amigos!” is in large white lettering above “Mexico.”
The youth T-shirt is heather gray with “Mexico” repeated three times on the torso in red, blue, and orange lettering. “EPCOT World Showcase” is in white at the bottom.
The faces of Donald, Panchito, and José are over the words. Music notes and confetti appear to fall around them.
The button-up is short-sleeved with a collar. It’s off-white with an all-over pattern of the Three Caballeros’ faces, instruments, tropical plants, a flying carpet, and confetti.
This short-sleeved T-shirt is solid white.
“¡Viva! Mexico” is on the left breast. The letters of “Viva” are colorful while “Mexico” is dark blue. The dotted outline of a pink flower is above “Mexico.”
The Three Caballeros on their flying carpet is on the back of the shirt. “¡Saludos Amigos!” is above them. Colorful confetti, plants, music notes, and maracas are around them.
Each Caballero plays a different colored string instrument. The underside of the flying carpet is striped in shades of blue while the top is green and orange.
The same image of the Three Caballeros and the flying carpet is on the front of this shirt. Behind them is the black outline of a temple. Silver fireworks go off above the temple.
The Aracacuan Bird is in the top right. There are black clouds and “¡Saludos Amigos!” at the bottom. The shirt itself is bright blue.
This Baja-style pullover is striped tan, orange, brown, and blue. It has a large front pocket. It has a v-shaped neck.
The faces of the Three Caballeros are embroidered on the left breast.
An orange tag on the pocket reads, “EPCOT World Showcase.”

The exclusive Visa Lounge at Universal Studios Florida is now open to select cardholders.
The Visa Lounge is located at the front of the park, across from Guest Services. It is exclusive to Universal Rewards Plus Visa Signature cardholders. It has a counterpart at Universal Studios Hollywood that opened in March of 2024.
The entrance can be spotted by its blue and yellow awning.
Once inside, the first thing we noticed was how cold the air conditioning was, perfect for a break during a summer day at Universal Orlando Resort. The lounge is open every day from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
At the entrance, guests will be met with a team member. Each card holder can bring three additional guests with them into the lounge.
There is ample seating, all done in Visa’s signature blue and yellow colorway.
The design overall is clean and modern. The seating areas and all nicely separated so that different parties can take up their own section.
A high countertop is tucked into a nook with both regular outlets and USB outlets. This would be a great area to get a bit of work done in the park.
There is additional seating and tables on the right side of the room.
Along the back wall is a television and a refreshment area with two mini refrigerators stocked with complimentary water bottles.
The complimentary snacks offered during our visit included chips and granola bars.
Guests with their own reusable water bottles also have the option to fill up using the water refill station.
The lounge gets lots of sunlights from the windows to the left.
There’s a single stall family restroom exclusive to the Visa Lounge
The interior of the restroom has blue and gold tiling.
The primary Universal theming in the Visa Lounge comes by way of black and white photographs of Universal attractions past and present. This first one is of the Hollywood Backlot set.
Here, we have the signage for Captain Jake’s Amity Boat Tours, a.k.a Jaws, the attraction that was open from 1990 to 2012.
Next up is the exterior of Jimmy Neutron’s Nicktoon Blast, with various Nicktoons, including Jimmy himself stood outside. The simulator attraction was open from 2003 through 2001, before being replaced by Despicable Me Minion Mayhem.
Bruce the Shark gets his own photo, with the plaque noting he was in place in Amity from 1990 through 2012, before being relocated.
This photo is of the Institute of Future Technology marquee from Back to the Future The Ride, which was open from 1991 to 2002.
Finally, there is this photo of the Universal Studios’ Classic Monsters Cafe, which opened in 1998 and closed in 2022.
Watch our full tour of the Universal Studios Florida Visa Lounge below:
If you’re looking to apply for the card, there are Visa kiosks in both parks. You can apply right there and if approved, you will be given your card on the spot along with other benefits.
