PHOTOS - Riverside Depot opens at Disney's Animal Kingdom

[Next Big Thing]

Is the name Disney Outfitters going away? It appears that the two stores are combined into Riverside Depot.

I hope so... "Disney Outfitters" is so generic.

It looks like they are getting ready to soon.

The new store looks like a Whole Foods.

The new store looks like a Whole Foods.

It does somewhat resemble the inside of a Whole Foods. The outside looks nice, but I'm hoping the inside looks better in person.

I loved the details inside that I saw from the pictures. The baskets, lights, carvings on the bracing. Don't know what the Whole Foods stores look like there, but they certainly don't look like that in Kansas.

Be careful Animal Kingdom... don't end up like South Park did when Whole Foods came to town.

I think it resembles the gift shop inside the the Animal Kingdom Resort. Nice job, especially if they include some native(African,Asian) merchandise

Looks like City Walk to me

That was my exact thought

Only had time for a few photos. In short, the design of the new shop is very well done. Another excellent addition to DAK.

The large bugs along the top of the wall shelves are a very nice touch.

Looks nice inside. I really like the exterior.

Saw on Twitter that the Thirsty River Bar is open today.

Love how AK is adding nicely themed infrastructure and small pluses all around the park BEFORE it switches over to nighttime offerings. It'll help with the crowds and make the transition a lot easier

Pretty soon we'll forget about the time AK closed early.

Thanks for your detailed pictures. DAK is shaping up nicely. I like how they are getting everything ready in stages for the extended hours leading into the evenings. Enjoy your trip.

I remember when DAK had evening extra magical hours a few years back. The park had such a cool vibe when it went dark. I can't wait for them to have everything in place and make it the must see park.

We've done DAK at night during every vacation. It looks so different at night (as all the parks do), and really did have a nice feel. We often commented on how cool it would be if they added attractions and stayed open later. So excited this is finally happening.
