FIRST LOOK, VIDEO: Merchant of Venus Reopens as Seating Area at Magic Kingdom With Timekeeper, Sonny Eclipse, and More Tomorrowland Easter Eggs

Merchant of Venus, a former gift shop space next to Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies, has reopened as a seating area. The shop never reopened after the COVID-19 related closures back in March 2020.

After the parks reopened, the webpage for Merchant of Venus was deleted from the Walt Disney World website. The space was reportedly allocated to the Wreck-It-Ralph replacement for Stitch’s Great Escape. However, that project appears to be at least on hold.

There are less than a dozen tables with four chairs each.

  1. There is confusion between if ralph has a fanbase or not compared to the fanbase a reboot AEC would bring. Alien EnCounter is #1 on most beloved mia MK tieing w toad. And holds as much love as kitchen kabert at Epcot (Horizons i see you home&garden poster is in a place all its own hence why no comparison). There are many people including my son who would only wish to see AEC and wdi wished they could reboot it. The show was so tech advanced in its day it fits tomorrowland forget the alien theme. They were planning 1 room would be kid friendly while the other would run like normal.remember walt liked scary i bet he would have loved it. Again 10 people hate it millions love it wdw is going to listen to the 10 oh well. But if your waiting in tommorrowland at least now you could sit???
