For many, there are three key ingredients to every Disney trip: rides, food, and…shopping! From Mickey ears to spirit jerseys, there is a LOT of tempting merchandise throughout Disney World and more merchandise will soon be available in a very special location!
Each day, EPCOT’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction gets closer to being done. We’ve gotten to see pictures of it from the inside and gotten more updates about it over the past few months. But now we’ve gotten a special look at something else that will be coming to this spot.
Earlier today, Imagineer Zach Riddley shared an exciting update via Instagram about the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction coming to EPCOT. Actually, this update doesn’t have to do with the ride itself. Instead, it has to do with a Disney staple — the gift shop!
Riddley said that the merchandise location that will be associated with the Guardians ride is called “Treasures of Xandar!” Below is a FIRST LOOK at this new spot!
According to Riddley, the story of this shop is that it is operated by “The Broker.” The Broker is “a proud Xandarian, who’s been awarded the contract and brought part of his famous store here to EPCOT.”
Some of the merchandise you’ll find here will pay tribute to Xandar itself and items that have been acquired throughout the galaxy. You may also find some items that celebrate the Heroes of Xandar. Who are they? Well the Guardians of the Galaxy, of course!
The Broker reportedly shared a special statement with the Walt Disney Imagineering Team recently. The Broker’s statement reads: “I am so delighted to bring my wares to the Wonders of Xandar pavilion. As a proud Xandarian, it gives me great pleasure to represent my planet to you Terrans and allow you to bring home a small bit of Xandar from my shop: Treasures of Xandar. I only hope that it brings our two cultures that much closer together.”
We cannot wait to see exactly what merchandise items will pop up inside this shop and what special details the merchandise location will hold.
We’re continuing to look for more updates and will be sure to share that all with you. Stay tuned for the latest news!
