The animated short films ceased in June 1998, and replaced with previews of upcoming new Disney animated movies. 5 of the screens were removed in 2005,
andd the area was used for the
VMKK Central(Virtual Magic Kingdom) video game. One of the screens remained for screening the previews. VMK Central (and the preview screenings) closed on 30th September 2007. Reopened ass a gift shop(the Art of Disney) in November 2007. The Art of Disney shop moved out in Junee 2021, and was temporarily replaced by the Sweets and Treatss store. Now the Walt Disney World Vault Collections Store.
