Disney Lorcana at Disney World and Disneyland: Park-Exclusive Cards, Promos and How to Get Them (2026)

I'm a Disney Lorcana collector, and I'm also an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner. Those two hobbies overlap more every year. Disney now drops new Lorcana sets at the parks a week early, sells collector boxes you can only buy at a handful of Disney stores, and builds whole festival events around the game. If you collect and you're planning a trip with your family like I do with my kids, a little timing can turn a regular Disney vacation into a Lorcana trip too.

Here's what's exclusive, where to buy it, how the virtual queues work, and what's coming next. Everything below is current as of October 2026, and Lorcana news moves fast, so check the latest before you go.

Disney World Exclusive Lorcana Cards and Products

The Curator's Collection

The Curator's Collection is the big park-exclusive product. Each box holds six borderless foil cards with brand-new art, and they're sold only at a few Disney locations.

• Heroines Edition (July 17, 2026): six full-art foil heroine cards for $99.99, sold in limited quantities at World of Disney in Disney Springs, Disney's Pin Traders in the Downtown Disney District and a few international Disney Stores (WDW News Today). Secondary-market prices have since gone well above retail, with reported sales of $400 or more (Toonado).
• Beauty and the Beast Edition (October 16, 2026): announced at D23 for the film's 35th anniversary (Disney Lorcana). It has six stained-glass-style cards: Belle, Beast, Gaston, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts and Be Our Guest. It launched alongside an I2I Foil Playmat from A Goofy Movie at Downtown Disney, Disney Springs, Disneyland Paris and DisneyStore.co.uk (Disney Lorcana). It sold for $99.99 at World of Disney on launch day (Disney by Mark).

"Magical Places" Promo Cards

When a new set comes out early at World of Disney, Disney has handed out a free Magical Places promo card while supplies last, usually with a Lorcana artist signing:

• Wilds Unknown (May 8, 2026): a free Buzz Lightyear Magical Places card and a signing with artist Randy Bishop (Laughing Place).
• Attack of the Vine! (July 17, 2026): a free Maleficent Magical Places card, a signing with artist Mike Parker at The Art of Disney, and a Winnie the Pooh "Hunny Wizard" playmat (Laughing Place, WDW News Today).

For the Hyperia City release on October 16, 2026, the Magical Places promo is Baymax – Lab Assistant (5/DIS), revealed on Ravensburger's September 22 livestream (TheGamer). Promo databases report it was handed out at the Disney World and Disneyland release (Lorcana Player), though Disney hasn't posted details on how it was given out.

Where to Buy Lorcana at Disney World

World of Disney in Disney Springs is the main spot. It gets new sets a week before they reach stores everywhere, and it's the Florida home of the Curator's Collection. Disney Springs is free to visit and doesn't need a park ticket, so you can fit a release into an arrival day, a pool day or a rest day. If you're new to the area, my Disney World tips and tricks post covers getting around.

Lorcana has also shown up inside the parks during events. EPCOT's Festival of the Arts featured Lorcana activities like the Ink & Find Scavenger Hunt and Collection Quest, and Disney says those experiences return in 2027 (Disney Parks Blog). More on 2027 below.

Lorcana Disney Springs Virtual Queue: How It Works

Demand is high enough now that Disney runs launches through a virtual queue instead of a line. Here's how the Hyperia City release worked on October 16, 2026 (WDW News Today, Walt Disney World):

• The queue opened in the My Disney Experience app at 6 AM ET, and you had to be within about 45 miles of Disney Springs to join.
• There was no standby line. Only the person on the boarding pass could buy, though a parent and child could go in together.
• Each person could join once with their own pass, and passes couldn't be linked or shared.
• Purchases were limited to 2 of each featured item, while supplies last.
• The parking garages opened at 9 AM, and groups were called no earlier than 9 AM. Once your group was called, you had 60 minutes to get to World of Disney.

With product still left that afternoon, Disney opened a second virtual queue at 4:30 PM ET. Anyone could join it, even people who had already bought that morning, with a fresh 2-per-item limit (WDW News Today, WDWMAGIC). So if you miss the morning drop, keep an eye on the app.

My planning tip: that 45-mile rule means you need to be in Central Florida that morning. You can't join from home. Book a hotel nearby (here are my picks for places to stay at Disney World), set an alarm for 5:55 AM, and have everyone in your group who wants to buy logged into their own app account.

Where to Buy Lorcana at Disneyland

At the Disneyland Resort, Lorcana releases go through Disney's Pin Traders in the Downtown Disney District. Like Disney Springs, Downtown Disney doesn't need a park ticket, and it's a great place to grab a bite between card runs (see my Downtown Disney restaurants guide).

Lorcana Disneyland Exclusive Releases and the Virtual Queue

Disneyland got both Curator's Collections at Pin Traders. For Hyperia City, it ran its own virtual queue (WDW News Today):

• It opened in the Disneyland app at 5 AM PT, with a 90-mile radius, which is wider than Florida's.
• There was no standby queue, you had to use your own account, and boarding passes couldn't be linked or shared.
• When your turn came, the app sent you to Pin Traders, where Cast Members scanned your QR code.

The Disneyland app may list the release as the "Disney Lorcana Collection," so don't let the name throw you (The Disney Scoop).

Lorcana Promo Cards at Disney World vs. Your Local Game Store

Not every promo is a park exclusive. For Hyperia City, local game stores give a Minnie Mouse – Urban Visionary promo to customers who buy a full booster box in store (Ravensburger OP kit), and prerelease events at game stores come with their own promo cards. Collectors usually want both: the park cards for the art and the story, and the store promos to finish the set.

Disney parks overseas run their own events too. Hong Kong Disneyland and Disneyland Paris held Collection Quests in 2026 with three promos, Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear and Elsa, available only through those events (Disney Lorcana).

What's Coming Next for Lorcana at the Parks

Here's what's on the calendar as of October 2026:

• Hyperia City everywhere: October 23, 2026 (Disney Lorcana).
• EPCOT International Festival of the Arts 2027, presented by Disney Lorcana: it runs January 15 through March 1, 2027, and Disney promises festival-only promo items, gifts with purchase, the Ink & Find Scavenger Hunt, a Collection Quest and an Illumineer's Lounge (Disney Parks Blog). The headliner is Figment's first Lorcana card, a "Creative Inspiration" promo (WDW News Today). Disney hasn't said yet exactly how you'll get it.
• Into the Inkdark: prerelease February 5, 2027, and everywhere February 12 (Lorcana Player). It debuts Collector Boosters, which will be sold at select game stores and at Disney Parks and stores (Mojo Nation). Based on past releases, I'd expect another early drop at World of Disney, but Disney hasn't announced it yet.
• Cosmic Quest: spring 2027. Ravensburger also said Lorcana will show up at more Disney events and park locations in 2027 and beyond (Disney Lorcana).

How I'd Plan a Disney Trip Around a Lorcana Drop

1. Pick the release date first, then build park days around it. New sets come out every few months, and the parks usually get them on prerelease day.
2. Stay close. The virtual queue has a distance limit (about 45 miles in Florida and 90 in California), so arrive the day before.
3. Make the release day a lighter day. Use Disney Springs or Downtown Disney that morning, then pool time or a half park day.
4. Every buyer needs their own app account and boarding pass. If my kids are along, I plan for who's actually buying.
5. Combine events. The Festival of the Arts (Jan 15, 2027 start) and the Into the Inkdark launch (Feb 2027) are close together, so one winter trip could cover both.

FAQ

Are Disney Lorcana Curator's Collections only sold at the parks? They're sold at a few Disney locations, not at game stores. For the Beauty and the Beast Edition, that's Disney's Pin Traders (Downtown Disney), World of Disney (Disney Springs), World of Disney in Disneyland Paris and DisneyStore.co.uk, as of October 2026.

Do I need a park ticket to buy Lorcana at Disney? No. World of Disney at Disney Springs and Disney's Pin Traders at Downtown Disney are both outside the parks. Event promos inside a park, like EPCOT's Festival of the Arts, do need park admission.

How do I join the Lorcana Disney Springs virtual queue? Use the My Disney Experience app at the posted time (6 AM ET for the Hyperia City release) while you're within about 45 miles of Disney Springs. Each buyer needs their own boarding pass.

Can my kids buy with me? For Hyperia City, a minor could go in with a parent, but only the guest registered on the boarding pass could buy.

Do you get a free promo card at Disney Springs? Sometimes. Wilds Unknown and Attack of the Vine! came with free Magical Places promos while supplies lasted, and the Hyperia City release reportedly had a Baymax – Lab Assistant promo.

What's the next Lorcana event at Disney World? The 2027 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, starting January 15, 2027, with Lorcana activities and a Figment promo card.
