We learned a few days ago that the new Vault Collection of 50th anniversary merchandise would be on display in a special popup shop at Disney Springs. Work on the store has now begun.

The Vault Collection is taking over what was previously a Disney Cruise Line popup shop in Marketplace Co-Op.

Though the area is not yet open, the sign outside does advertise it.

Curtains block the view of the shop.

A wall sticking out from behind the curtain reveals a little bit of the store’s aesthetic.

The wall has a hand-drawn-looking map of Magic Kingdom printed on it, part of the souvenir map from the 1970s.

The curtains are slightly see-through and we could tell there was nothing else inside except boxes right now.

Banners featuring the 50th anniversary logo hang from the ceiling.

These resemble banners that used to hang at Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride in Toad Hall, and the shop is supposed to have a Mr. Toad photo-op. There will be an Orange Bird photo-op at the location in Magic Kingdom.
