PHOTOS, VIDEO: New Pin Traders Shop and Camera Center Opens at EPCOT, New Pavilion Pin Collection Available

With work continuing on the new World Celebration area of EPCOT, Pin Central will close after 20 years of service (It’s still open as of today) and move into the Camera Center beneath Spaceship Earth. The new shop opened this morning to guests.

Signage outside indicates that the store is both Pin Traders and the Camera Center.

The interior is now a pin shop, as well as a PhotoPass location as it was before closing.

New flooring, new registers, and more were added to the store. It looks almost like a different shop once inside.

Compared to the more bland store remodeling projects of late, this seems like an improvement.

The store does sell more than pins and camera equipment. Much of the 2020 merchandise line can be found here as well.
