Two days ago the area formerly known as Team Mickey opened up as the Marketplace Co-Op. The new store is divided into individual little stores that all have their own little theme. I had a chance to stop by today and take some pictures of the new area. Below are pictures and descriptions of what you can find in each section:

In recent years we have seen D-Tech spots throughout the parks, but inside the Marketplace Co-Op we can find the next step in D-Tech with D-Tech on Demand. Here guests are able to create their own phone case based off of their favorite characters, movies, etc. It is a bit pricey if you are creating your own, but guests do have the option to purchase a premade design as well.

Beautifully Disney is a make up line that has been growing over the past few years and now it has an entire section of Marketplace Co-Op dedicated solely to it!

Zoey and Pickles features clothes for younger girls. Some of the designs in here are great, especially the ones featuring Buttercup from Toy Story 3 and Paschal from Tangled!

The back section of the store features designer bags and various forms of jewelry.

Centerpiece is easily the greatest addition to Downtown Disney! Here guests can find several vintage Disney items including coasters, cups, stands, plates, pillows, signs, and much much more! It's a Disney nerds paradise. My bank account will most likely be taking a hit in future visits here.

The final section of the store is The Trophy Room, which keeps the wonder and splendor of Team Mickey alive. While there aren't any amazing new additions to this portion of the store, it is nice to still have a selection of sports items!

Overall, I fell like the Marketplace Co-Op has great potential for Downtown Disney. The way the six sections are divided are great and the individual theme in each room is very well done. What do you think? Are you excited for this new addition?
