As part of the ongoing refurbishment at the Island Mercantile shop at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the island registers are being removed to open up the space a bit more.

We’ll start with a look at the recently unveiled section with an island register removed and a new register constructed along a wall.

In the middle section of the store, the island register has been completely removed to open up the space.

Here’s a look back at the island register from July before it was removed. We call them island registers because they just sat out in the middle of the room, kind of like an island in the ocean.

In the section of the store closest to Pandora – The World of Avatar, the beaver-themed island register has been removed and the area is behind walls.

Here’s a look back at the island register from July when the writing was on the wall and we decided to take some final photos of the themed check-out area.
