Disney has today announced that the new flagship merchandise location at EPCOT will be called "Creations Shop" and will replace the former Mouse Gear.
According to Imagineer Zach Riddley, "Creations Shop features a bold, sleek design that creates a perfect showcase for the rich variety of items you’ll find as part of your EPCOT experience. It will be an open, bright, welcoming environment with huge glass walls that allow sunlight to pour in and make you feel like you’re in touch with nature even while indoors. We are using color, materials and light in new ways with some unique EPCOT touches that connect back to this park’s storied past while looking to the future."
The store will include a Mickey Mouse mural along the side wall and homages to him throughout the interior. There large dynamic murals will showcase the global, contemporary icon that Mickey has become for generations around the world.
Construction on Creations Shop is still very much underway as we can see from the recent photos of the area.
Creations Shop will be located in the former Mouse Gear building, which is in the new World Celebration area replacing the original Future World.
