EPCOT Creations Shop opening this summer

Did Figment die or something? where is he?

Having anything showing the original EPCOT City plan just serves to confuse 99% of people and I'm not sure why they're pushing it. It was a dead idea shortly after WDW opened.

Yeah, Walt forbid they would use Figment Statues and have artists use their "Sparks" of inspiration..

The mouse gear was pretty much the best store of all the parks to me so this store has a very high bar to beat... I could find stuff there that not even the world of Disney had.

I feel the exact same way. From the concept art I'm not sure this is going to happen. When I looked at the concept art my first impression was it looked no diffrent than an Old Navy or GAP store. Other than the Mickey Mouse mural there was nothing to say this is a Disney gift shop. Hopefully I am 100 percent wrong. I'll see it in person in 16 days so fingers crossed.

I'm not quite sure what the appearance has to do with the merchandise offered, which was what the post you quoted was talking about.

I am glad that MouseGear is gone as I found that shop to be a claustrophobic nightmare so I am hoping that the new shop feels more open.

Thanks for pointing that out. the comment was deleted.

What is the plan for the current, temporary Mouse Gear? Is that the new Electric Umbrella?

does Disney even know anymore?

I mean, yes? I’m not sure exactly what the specific spot of the temporary MouseGear will be, but the restaurant and Starbucks are confirmed to be occupying the rest of the building.

You guys need some signs?

I gotta say, I dig the way the shop is coming out with the huge glass windows making the building look like its open all the way through and supported by those deco columns Cant wait to see it in a couple days

Yup, just like it was during the ComminCore days.

A return to the original design intent... Lovely to see.

It wouldn't be hard to work it into more seating space for the restaurant or use it for Festival related activities for a bit.

If not, it could also be a merch location for Guardians, if they're not going to have one in the old energy building.

Was that the plan? I'd figure it being in the former exit area..Then again we're not even sure since it was gutted bare..

Also up in the breezeway, per Blog Mickey:

So many signs is rather excessive in my opinion - the two on the end are only about 20 feet apart from each other.

Should have gone with just one sign between each set of doors instead of putting them above every door.

I am glad to see something is getting done in EPCOT. The very generic signage for CREATIONS SHOP and CLUB COOL does remind me of a strip mall when they put up generic signage for shoe store as SHOES or a pharmacy as DRUGS.

Does anyone remember Ice station Cool?
