Not sure if the water park discussion should stay here or if a mod wants to separate it out.

Saw the article on the front page about a waterpark at Margaritaville about to open up.

Island H2O Live! water park opening for preview days starting June 5

The new waterpark at Margaritaville Resort Orlando offers over 20 different experiences, including a wave pool, kids’ area, group raft rides, slides and lazy river.

Aside from the fact that it's a horrible name, does anyone know details of the dize or capacity of Island H2O Live?

I guess it answers the question about whether 4 waterparks is enough.

This is part of an entire Margaritaville complex that has housing, condo type accommodations, shopping, dining, a hotel and then the water park.

I'm not sure I understand what this waterpark's horrible naming and theming have to do with Margaritaville.

Sorry if I’m behind the time but what is the construction happening on the pathway from FOLK to Pandora? Did I get my wires crossed and that is where club 33 is going?

Yes, that's where DAK's Club 33 is going, on the other side of the path near FotLK's restrooms.

So is there any monorail scuttlebutt, or what? Are we getting a new fleet at Disney World?

All signs point to extensive refurbs of the existing fleet at the moment (see new refurb of monorail silver). Consensus is that a brand new fleet is many many years away

Hope so. Not sure how they would improve on the classic look.

Thanks. I've been out of the Disney loop for a while. Just looked up photos of monorail Silver. Looks good. Was the refurb purely the furnishings, or was there a mechanical refurb / rebuild involved?

Do a little diggin, because I could be wrong, but I believe it was both mechanical and aesthetic refurbs

I read the same - and the door mechanics were mentioned specifically.
