New Disney Art Display and Walt Disney World Store Coming Soon to International Drive

A new larger-than-life outdoor art display will soon be visible along the popular I-4/International Drive corridor in Orlando, which will animate to showcase some of your favorite Disney characters and attractions in a whole new way.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and other Fab 50 golden sculpts will come to life in an impressive ribbon-like Disney art display that enwraps the outside of the Hollywood Plaza garage. And that’s only the beginning! The dynamic art display will feature additional Disney characters, celebrations, and more over time.

“We took a lot of knowledge from setting up the 50th art installations in our parks and the Orlando International Airport and wanted to spread a little of that magic out into the world,” Will Gay, design director with Disney’s Yellow Shoes Creative Group, said. “It all started with a little idea and a question – could we do this? Could we turn this into a dynamic art display bigger than anything we’ve ever done before?”

Inside the building, visitors will find a new Walt Disney World Store that combines merchandise, ticket sales, and the first-ever interactive Disney Vacation Club Virtual Discovery Station. Opening May 31, this one-stop will give visitors to Central Florida a convenient way to purchase commemorative souvenirs, park tickets, and explore Disney Vacation Club membership.

With floor-to-ceiling screens, The Disney Vacation Club Virtual Discovery Station can transport Guests to Disney's theme parks, resorts, and cruise destinations around the world via first-person virtual tours, photo galleries and videos.

Known as a popular retail and entertainment destination in Central Florida, I-Drive is the perfect spot to highlight all the magic the Walt Disney World Resort has to offer. So keep an eye out for Mickey, Minnie and other Disney favorites looking ever so fabulous the next time you travel down the I-4/International Drive corridor!
