I really like how the shop turned out! The ceiling adds so much, especially when compared to the ceiling from MouseGear that was supposed to be ignored.

Yes, beyond nostalgia for 1990s-era Disney, I find it hard to understand thinking Mouse Gear was a better fit for the space.

The metal/mirror face plates on the mannequins are creepy.

MouseGear really had strong Tomorrowland '94 vibes, not unsurprising given when it was conceived. It wasn't my preference and I always thought it never really "fit" into Future World, but it was certainly unique compared to other stores, Disney or not.
The natural daylight and cleaner lines of Creations are big positives; just wish it had more EPCOT in the artwork and displays (and a better name, too, really - Creations Shop is such a dumb name).

I’m glad I’m not the only one, that was my first thought when I saw pics… creeeepy mannequins.
I’m a little disappointed it’s kind of bland but I think that’s better than overly busy like mouse gears was, I’m also very glad they went back to the white exterior, I think two tone with gray on the pillars would have been a nice touch (like someone mentioned earlier) but the white is infinitely better than the multi color mess it used to be.
Considering how crowded the store is, Disney should stop building attractions and just keep adding new stores every other month. Capacity!!

That elevator was removed during the gutting of MouseGear. There is no longer a second floor, it's all one level. That column is just a column and nothing more.

The Centorium was the best (one of my all-time favorite Disney shops). MouseGear was okay. This new shop just looks very bland. And with the name 'Creations' I'd think there should be some type of 'design your own t-shirt' area or something where you get to actually create.
i do agree with the build your own shirt idea, as that would def make the creations name tie in much better. I still like the looks of the new one though

They remind me of the unsettling humanoids from Disney's 'The Black Hole' movie -
thanks. I kinda wish they had done maybe like a stained glass picture in each tube for a dash of color up top. Looks cool as is though

Eh... I guess the new store is fine. I do like all the natural light.
I'd say it looks more "contemporary department store" whereas Mouse Gears had a vibe that was much more "theme park". Reminds me of the approach they took with the Disney Springs World of Disney store, only with a futuristic slant.
Again, it looks okay... don't have strong feelings about it either way. It's a store, nothing too exciting

They didn’t bother to replace all of the window wall systems… So they’ve got the new narrow sight/butt system with glass that doesn’t align to the control joints, and the old system that did align with the joints and the colors don’t even match. Such attention to detail.

I’ve never really had much of a thought on mannequins, but some of these are really interesting and look surprisingly like people in 2021 while being clearly mannequins. Overall the new store is looking pretty nice if not a little too generic. Hopefully this ages well and/or they keep it fresh.

I don't have much to say other than they are finally getting this right. Clean whites, pops of color, natural light. It's only a gift shop but it finally feels like EPCOT.
