Shopping Zawadi Marketplace
- At nearly 5,500 square feet, Zawadi Marketplace will be among
the largest retail shops at Walt Disney World Resort. Disney sent
a team of researchers to Africa to locate one-of-a-kind treasures
to showcase amid the natural finishes, patterns and textiles featured
throughout the marketplace. Guests also can watch as a native artisan
perfects crafts amid the rich, dynamic showcase of wares. Featured
marketplace items include:
Zulu baskets, tightly woven in a variety of shapes and sizes from
the plentiful grasses of Botswana. The centuries-old art of basket
weaving is passed traditionally from mother to child. The weaver
becomes the narrator. Each pattern woven into the basket symbolizes
a certain life stage and social status.
Hand-loomed fabrics and textiles, hand-woven in vibrant colors,
posing as floor coverings and tapestries. Whether the textile’s
patterns reflect the love of a family or the heroism of a tribal
chief, each textile bears a unique story.
Hand-carved masks, a significant part of a tribe’s religious and
cultural life. Songye Masks, one of the featured selections, would
customarily welcome important visitors to the village while a round
carved mask, crafted from dark wood with etchings, was believed
to add youth and strength to a tribesman.
The Zawadi Marketplace also features beaded gourds, hand-carved
chess sets and an assortment of authentic accents.
The marketplace has items in store for the Disney collector as well,
including distinctive headwear, T-shirts, picture frames and more
featuring the Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge logo.
