A common phrase, but when not present it can land you in serious hot water if you assume that an equivalent will be acceptable.

well if we’re talking about “Walt’s vision” of Epcot, the 1939 worlds fair wasn’t it.

My point is standard contractural language…
…Disney gives little control to contractors to pick ANYTHING…however. Not typical construction or design
No product substitution stipulations are pretty common when it comes to commercial construction and are not at all unique to Disney whom I have done engineering work for. I have had a case where and EOR specified a brand of nails and would not budge on the matter and this was on a rather pedestrian clubhouse for a new subdivision.
Residential construction tends to be much more flexible.

Do you think that change in marketing psychologically affects Imagineering as well? When there’s no pre-hype surrounding a product, I feel like they would have more free reign and creativity. But when the hype starts prematurely I feel like all those Imagineers have a lot of pressure on their shoulders and sometimes make bad decisions because of it.

It’s possible…there’s probably an inherent pressure to do things a certain way if they use it for marketing material everyday prior to opening for 5 years…
nothing other than major park re-working, infrastructure redos should take 5 years.
nothing about Disney’s construction these days does anything to foster excitement in the staff except for the accountants.

Come on guys, pick a color and finish the job. This is just example of cost overruns where the bean counters could step in. And, that's only one that guest can see right now.Latest on the exterior paint job at Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind

See…I see it as more a case of intentionally slow timelines
(if you build stuff…the peasants will just expect more)

The whole exterior saga is definitely pretty funny.
We went from grey ribs, solar panels, lights in ribs, large greeter structure, water(?) around ship, lighted signage, painted/metal patterns on the sides of the building:
To random metal panels, brown ribs, planter around ship, no interesting lighting to note, grey/sliver metal paneling,:
back to grey ribs but no lights:
I'm hoping something will be installed on top of those metal panels because they really don't look great. Considering there's power(?) being ran behind the ribs, I have a slight bit of hope:
Even if they aren't solar panels, just some kind of lighting effect would be nice.

Posted what, exactly? Nobody has posted anything claiming to be new.
Well, since they keep changing the colors almost week to week, there's always something new to report.

I’m not sure why it has to be “new” to discuss it? This isn’t watergate.
I’ll never get why people want to kill discussion on a “discussion board”??
They also posted that a fix for the yeti was "imminent" 1,255 days ago

These color changes also tell me they are having problems deciding what to do and having a consistent design aesthetic. No wonder costs are so high and the end results can feel weak.
Have they reported on what's replacing CBJ and LwtL yet?
As mentioned, these are getting paint jobs weekly, it seems. Clickbait clings to anything so he can "be first". I think Buzz Lightyear said it best when it comes to Clickbait - "You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity".

Residential construction also plays by a different set of legal rules than commercial in most jurisdictions. What you can And can’t do on a single-family home is VERY different from what you can and can’t do in a commercial setting.
