Today Club Cool and Creations Shop officially opened at EPCOT.

Club Cool, which was formerly in the Innovations West building in Future World (soon to become World Celebration), has been moved across the plaza and is now connected to Creations Shop. The new shop brings back the tasting station, where guests can sample Coca-Cola products from around the world, and offers an expanded line of Coca-Cola merchandise and beverages.

Bon Bon Anglais (Madagascar) – Exlusive to Madagascar, Bon Bon Anglais offers a unique taste experience with a blend of tropical fruit flavors.

Sprite Cucumber (Russia) – Sprite originally launched in 1961 and is now enjoyed in multiple countries around the world. Sprite Cucumber from Russia has a crisp cucumber flavor, providing a refreshing twist on this classic lemon-lime beverage.
Viva Raspberry (Moldova) – Viva Raspberry is a delicious sparkling beverage from Moldova, a country in Eastern Europe. The slightly tart, yet sweet raspberry flavor is complimented by a hint of raspberry juice.

Creations Shop, which is the reimagined MouseGears, has been updated to reflect a more contemporary feel. The shop looks like a cross between an upscale department store with boutique areas and an H&M.

According to the Disney Parks Blog, the Creations Shop celebrates Disney’s legacy of creativity by honoring the nostalgia of EPCOT’s past and the exciting promises of EPCOT’s future. Disney Imagineers used one-of-a-kind art installations, meaningful souvenirs, and a contemporary architectural design to bring the story of EPCOT and Disney creativity to life. Each thoughtful detail within Creations Shop was purposefully chosen to represent story elements and foster a memorable shopping experience for guests.

Mickey Mouse, who has inspired creativity for generations around the world, serves as a symbol of Disney’s creativity and can be seen prominently in a number of homages to him throughout the space, including large, dynamic murals and a collection of 10 original sculptures created by Disney Imagineers.
