EPCOT Creations Shop opening this summer

[Haymarket2008]

I was wondering that myself while we were at Epcot this past Saturday. I also wonder if they will use the pavilion logos like they used to.

Pavilion logos are back and are currently being used throughout the park.

Are they? I know there’s the flags at the entrance and Test Track’s and the Seas’ are in a few spots at their respective pavilions but I can’t think of any others.

LOL at the sign.

Creations looks fine (good, even), but why the insistence on "shop"? It even looks tacked on to the sign as an afterthought.

Sorry, but that takes me back in a really not so good way.

You can speak for yourself. The new one looks much better.

Centorium fit EPCOT Center - Bold, futuristic, imaginative. Creations Shop fits with The Bob’s - Bland, boring, profit-driven. I know which one I’d pick.

This but updated and better theming that includes more of EPCOT itself along with the parks’ characters & Mickey & Friends in EPCOT themed clothing.

I wish they made it 2 floors again.

For the same reason they put "Gifts from Future World" under the Centorium sign and "Gifts with Character" under the Mouse Gear sign.

I think the more concise "Shop" actually gives the guest more credit that either of those past options and feels more contemporary in its brevity. What I fear is that guests will find it too cryptic and it will go back to the earlier variations on "Gift Shop."

I like the sign and nothing else.

Well, you certainly can't miss it! Probably could have scaled the size down by about a third if I'm honest.

I also see LED uplights are installed all along the sign ledge so I expect there will be dynamic or color change lighting above the entrances.

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
No-one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
But where do you belong?

When they put a giant old school light up sign that scrolls "welcome to Epcot Center" on it, then I will be impressed.

"Creations" just makes me think it's that store where the robot airbrushes your design on a t-shirt. Also Centorium was awesome! Disney merch is so boring, the opposite of "creations-itive." I've been ordering a lot of fan art lately.

 

[No Name]

Yeah the name Creations Shop makes me think you can get something created in there.

MASS PRODUCED BY LOW WAGE LABOR shop would be more accurate, but I don't mind Creations. Better than Mouse Gear, though not as good as Centorium as a name.

Very build a bear-ish..

It was dumb on those signs too, although it fit the old Centorium sign better. It looks especially bad on this sign because, as I said, it looks like a last minute add-on.

You don't need to specifically call something a shop for people to understand you can buy things there. World of Disney doesn't say World of Disney Store on it.
