New Art of Disney World Showcase
Posted: Monday December 16, 2019 11:15am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The Art of Disney is back open at Epcot in a new location in World Showcase.

Previously located near to Spaceship Earth in Future World, the new store can be found in The American Adventure pavilion in the former gift shop.

Art of Disney store carries a selection of posters, framed art and collectibles - including some originals.

This is one of the first locations to reopen after being displaced by the demolition work and redevelopment of the central core of Epcot.

Heritage Manor Gifts was reduced to a kiosk located outside.

The Antique Store in Liberty Square didn't either, but it was around for decades before closing. The Paul Pressler attitude of "every square inch must turn a high margin" didn't affect World Showcase as badly (thanks to many stores being run by third parties), but that doesn't mean it isn't sad to see it happen here. They could have built another Art of Disney location elsewhere in the park. Even using the empty retail space in Canada would have been a better choice.

Love this store, and original art cells.

so does Heritage Manor Gifts not exist anymore? I don't see any Americana merchandise like what was in there before. The sign just says "Art of Disney"
