All of the construction walls have been removed from inside the Critter Co-Op store in Magic Kingdom, revealing a completed section of new flooring.
Construction Walls in Critter Co-Op
As we first reported on September 4, temporary construction walls were installed in the middle of Critter Co-Op, which is one of the two stores themed to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Frontierland. As seen in the image above, the walls were about waist-height and blocked the middle of the store near the fireplace, which means some of the merchandise displays were moved, and one of the store entrances was blocked.
During an update on October 13, a section of the walls had shifted, revealing that the work taking place in the store was the installation of a new section of flooring.
New Flooring Revealed, Walls Removed
Now, as of October 24, all of the walls have been removed from Critter Co-Op, and the store is now operating normally again. The newly-revealed flooring matches the small portion we saw earlier in the month. The area by the entrance used to have honey-colored vinyl plank, but it has been replaced with a darker brown and gray vinyl plank.
The new planks run across the whole front half of the shop, where they meet with the darker stone flooring in the back half. No other visible changes have been made to the interior.
With the walls now removed, the middle of the store is much wider again. A few freestanding merchandise displays have been added back to the center of the space, and the entryway on the far side has reopened.
