Downtown Disney's United World Soccer closing to be replaced with a Disney operated Marvel store

[WDWtraveler]

Photo update as of Sunday, Apr 12. West Side Downtown Disney storefront for the former United World Soccer with window coverings for new store: "Super Hero Headquarters."

If you are wondering what became of United World Soccer, they have relocated to a trailer on the way to the West Side parking lot, near Cirque du Soleil.

Makes me believe that they will move to the Town Center since they seem to be hanging around.

Excited already! We are arriving on the 26th April to stay for two weeks, so hoping the store will be open at least from the 1st May. My boyfriend wants an Iron Man t-shirt. We will have seen the new film already, as it comes out 23rd April here.

Awesome I can't wait for the Marvel Superheroes store in Disney Springs!

So it looks like the idea that they will not be using the Marvel name might be true.

Indeed. Seems to have the SHIELD logo on the store name though.

I had already confirmed that a few pages back...

Did you known that DC and Marvel own the trademark on the word Super-Heroes? So Universal Marvel Super-Heroes Island should really be call the Island (and it really not a island).

D-street is pretty much next door and they have a lot of Marvel Merch. I wonder if they'll still carry the super hero related stuff they have now.

Any updates on the store opening?

Friday with the movie.

Always thought a Pixar related store in this manner could do quite well. Every movie has a unique fan base that is being underserved except Cars IMO.

Agreed. Al's Toy Barn needs to be a component of DHS expansion.

Smart move on Disney's part! Great way to bring Marvel to WDW without violating their licensing agreement!

Just for anyone checking. The store opened today
