Epcot (Orlando) FUTURE WORLD WEST…read more I was wowed by the dazzling works of art that filled this shop. I oooh'd and ahhh'd as I walked past collectibles, figurines, sculptures, exclusive keepsakes, framed prints, paintings, souvenir postcards, artwork, Christmas ornaments and many more all Disney-inspired. At the same token I oooh'd and ahhh'd at the prices of each item. This store was for the serious Disney collector. Towards the front of the store there was an artist on location at work. It was actually pretty cool watching him work his magic putting life on a white sheet of paper. As I continued to walk around I came upon a glass case displaying Disney Princesses. I fell in love with the princess figurines as I have a few in my collection. I stopped collecting them as my daughters grew up. Now I just collect memories from our travels. I better just mosey on outta the store before I think of starting up my princess collection again. Oh, one more thing, if you are a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder enjoy 20% off at this location. The shop is located in Future World (West) at Epcot. Review #1516

We absolutely love this store and try to stop and every time we're in Epcot. Once you go in and…read moreyou're just underneath spaceship earth you'll see this small location off to the right. They have all kinds of different art pieces with of course a Disney theme. Pretty much every Disney character and Disney park is represented in artwork inside the store. If you don't see a character you want there are even machines where you can pull up art pieces that you can have custom made. They pretty much always have an artist on site who is doing sketches where you can watch and see how it's done. This is especially awesome if you want to buy a piece and ensure that it was handmade you can literally buy the piece the artist is working on. All of the large framed art pieces come with certificates of authenticity so you can be sure your piece will hold its value over time. Recently they've also started to include some of the pieces from a variety of different artists that are also at Disney Springs so they're a little more fun and Whimsical than your standard art pieces you may be used to seeing from Disney. They also sell almost everything in a print so it's definitely a lot cheaper than an original piece of art. So there's something for every budget inside the store. Overall: A Amazing store to buy amazing art!!

Located right on Hollywood Boulevard, the store fits perfectly with the old Hollywood theme of the park. The moment you walk inside, it feels a little more like a classic department store than a typical gift shop. There are displays of apparel, accessories, collectibles, and Disney merchandise throughout the store, but the layout makes it enjoyable to browse. After an early race morning and a long day in the parks, it was nice to slow down, wander through the shop, and see what was new. I also found a few items that I hadn't seen elsewhere in the park, which is always fun as a frequent Disney visitor! It's a great place to take a break, enjoy the Hollywood Studios atmosphere.

The luggage is super cute, but costly. They have a small suitcase for $149 which I purchased several years ago. You can see a photo of it here: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sunset-club-couture-kissimmee?select=tnFcHVsRO8FFjs4dMnyrbw#tnFcHVsRO8FFjs4dMnyrbw and they also have a larger suitcase in two different designs for $199 each. You'll also find some very nice jewelry here like sterling silver earrings, rings, and necklaces. They also have some nice watches with Mickey designs on the faces. I know some of the watches are Citizen because I've purchased two in the past, but I'm not sure of the other brand names. A great shop to check out if you're looking for more upscale fashion items.

It wasn't as busy as some of the other stores in Epcot! This is a great place to stop at if you're on the way out of the Epcot theme park and you wanted to get a last-minute souvenir!

They have all sorts of items like toys, dolls, costumes, apparels, mugs, stationaries, key chains, pins, caps, tote bags, and so much more. I liked the Nintendo Mario World and Harry Porter sections of the store. Those had the most unique merchandises. We bought few items from here. Prices were little high, as expected. The checkout lanes had 5-10 minutes wait due to a lot of people in the store. They had 3 register open and lines were moving quickly. They were also offering discounts and promotions for getting a Universal Credit card at the store.

The gallery offers a peaceful break from the crowds and gives you a chance to experience a different side of Disney. The current exhibit is Kawaii: Culture of Cute Things from Japan, a fun and interesting exhibit! Bright, colorful displays are full of pop culture references, but also explain how kawaii culture became such an important part of Japanese society. I really enjoyed learning more about the history behind something I usually connect with things like Hello Kitty, anime, and character designs. The gallery is air conditioned and a lot of fun to explore, making it a perfect place to slow down for a few minutes during a busy Epcot day. After visiting the gallery, I did spend some time walking through the rest of the pavilion and browsing Mitsukoshi Department Store for Japanese snacks and souvenirs! The whole area is beautifully themed and has a immersive feel. I recommend stopping by Bijutsu-kan Gallery if you're exploring the Japan Pavilion. It's educational and memorable, one of the best exhibits for me at Epcot and is always a must visit!

You can easily get here by taking the Skyliner from Disney Hollywood Studios or from the Caribbean Skyliner. My husband and I ended up taking the Skyliner to go from the back entrance to France, as soon as the park opened at 9:00 A.M. We had some additional time before Epcot opened. Luckily, the World Traveler store was open, and we were able to do a little bit of shopping prior to park opening! World Traveler does accept the Annual Passholder Discounts and the Disney Visa Cardmember Perks. Inside the store, you'll see a wide range of offerings! Some of those include the following Food (snacks like Popcorn!) Mickey Ears Pins Toys & Plush, Drinks (Soda, Water) Apparel & Accessories Gifts & Housewares Magicbands!!
