Kon'nichiwa, Emily, and welcome to
planDisney!
Thanks for stopping by to chat about the pearl experience at the
Mitsukoshi Department Store in
EPCOT. Although I have yet to participate, I enjoy watching the ceremony of Guests selecting their pearls. My daughter has requested this activity for her birthday, and I love the idea of having a piece of jewelry to commemorate the occasion.
Emily, I spoke with someone at the Mitukoshi Department store who shared that the official policy is to only set pearls purchased in the store. I recommend bringing your pearl along with any proof of purchase to EPCOT and explaining the situation to a store Cast Member. Hopefully, they can assist you, but if not, it could be the perfect opportunity to choose a new pearl and accompanying jewelry.
I hope everything works out for you! In addition to the pick a pearl activity in the Japan pavilion, my family has enjoyed several memorable experiences in EPCOT that you might consider trying. My kids love the
seasonal scavenger hunts in World Showcase (currently, you can participate in Spike's Pollen-Nation Exploration) and
Disney's DuckTales World Showcase Adventure. In World Nature, we're big fans of
Living with the Land and had a great time diving deeper into one of our favorite attractions in the
Behind the Seeds tour.
Best wishes for making new memories on your upcoming trip, and if there's anything we at planDisney can do to make it even better, don't hesitate to reach out again.
Have a magical day,
Betsy
