It looks like a Claire's that open up in an old Apple Store

I like the simple minimalist designs and I don't care who knows it

 

[Alicia]

My only question is does it still have the swampy/sewer smell (I assume from the tunnel) like Mouse Gear, or did they fix that finally?

All I smell is wet paint.

Probably replaced the AC system and ducting so it should be good for a while

They 100% replaced that stuff. It was evident from aerial pictures awhile back and i'm sure permits too, but I don't follow permits as closely as I used to for WDW.

While it does look a bit too much like UNIQLO for my tastes (at least some brickwork at the new World of Disney), I overall like it. The color changing LED lights in the breezeway are cool, too.

Disney loves their boring minimalist designs, don't they?

I mean, it's the way of all current shopping design. The new Universal Store at CityWalk is pretty much the same design.

And I love it. It’s modern but simple, clean.

The new designs they are doing for these stores is way more my preference then what they used to look like.

I definitely like more natural light, having an open floor plan, and simple yet sleek design, but I would prefer at least a *tiny* bit more actual theming. And that doesn’t mean it has to be garish like Mouse Gears or the old World of Disney were. It just means I want to feel like I’m in something that belongs in a theme park and not like I’ve been transported to Disney Springs.

It reminded me of a box store as much as anything. It's hard to make a judgment from a video but it just doesn't feel special. The MK Main Street stores have that certain something that makes wading through people worth it. This store? Not so much.

I got my delirious behind the scenes video too, today is a good day

"we want to celebrate the things that create connections between people"

Lol, it's just a store hun

No it's not JUST a store, it connects money to the Disney Corporation, that is true love.

I do find weird that they’re going all out being future retro yet they didn’t revive the Centorium name. Seems like it would have been a win win. Oh well looks nice.

It’s like the Emporium, but at EPCOT Center = Centorium. Brilliant!

Yeah, it's a drag lol.

I can care less about theming inside a store. The shop at Epcot is what it's suppose to be: clean, lots of natural light and simple. The new Universal store is also clean and simple.

As much as I love the tribute stores/legacy store at CityWalk, they are a pain to maneuver about.

 

[Nick]

The abundance of natural light is easily the best feature of this store.

I think it will look really nice when there is more than a construction wall outside the window as well


Speaking of really nice...This is probably the first time I've ever wanted to buy Epcot related merch. I love the designs a lot in all this stuff

 

[MikePat]

I haven't been to Epcot in many years. I would like to ask...

Does anyone else think that with the Creations Shop opening up that this marks the beginning of Epcot's hub multi-year process of turning back into a short of "normal" experience?

Glad you like it…but it’s not Disney.

the fact that everybody is going this route is a major reason people like me don’t care to shop at malls and in Disney’s stores when they’re all like this….and all selling generic garbage.
