Gateway Gifts remodel January 2020
Posted: Tuesday January 21, 2020 11:37am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Gateway Gifts at Epcot reopened Sunday following a brief remodel, and before we take a look inside, the classic sign outside the store remains.

Located under Spaceship Earth, the store is now the park's package pickup point, which relocated from the now closed Gift Stop outside the main entrance.

The remodel includes new registers, new flooring, and new paint color scheme.

During the closure, new concrete was installed outside the store, matching that of the recently reopened eastern main entrance side. The new concrete is a crushed stone type, replacing the former colored concrete.

It's about time Disney invests on the best ride on property.

That's pretty sad and disappointing to see. I saw a video fairly recently and they were operational. We go in July, and was looking forward to spending a bit of time there over two weeks for some pics of it all lit up at night

I hope wdwmagic can get a better video, that sites video is constant ads and then goes into a whole different video.

I wonder if LwtL's Christmas decorations, which totally was a huge draw with queues at night hitting an hour, was a sign that if they spruced it up a bit more outside of Christmas, it would help with capacity, since it often only has a 5 minute queue.

I like improved lighting but I feel this needs to be a bit adjusted. Seems overdone but again, pictures and videos aren't going to show what it's really like. Anyways, I'm so happy to see the ride getting regular love and can't wait to see it in person.

Looks like they're going for a consistent vibe in all of their bayous.

Love this sort of stuff. A ride doesn’t need a massive overhaul all at once, iterative improvements through the years culminate to an exceptional experience over time. It reminds me of Disneyland. I honestly wish they would leave more room for improvement in new rides. A lot may never come to fruition, but if you allow for future plussing (not an excuse to cheap out) you can ultimately deliver a better product through the years.
