News Swan and Dolphin Tower Expansion - The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve

[NiarrNDisney]

It might be the time to rename this thread as the height balloon tests are no longer a thing since the new tower is going vertical.

I still vote for it being called The Chinchilla. The Chinswalphin complex rolls off the tongue better than Swolphinove.

I can perhaps settle for Coswolphin I guess...but I’m not happy about it.

The Scwovphin.

Lets see, Swan... Dolphin...

How about Beached Whale?

It's clearly the SwolPhinCo. That will make the transition to Swolphin Co. on their new office building much more seamless!

And timeless...
And relevant...
And Disney...

Then what happens when they replace Fantasia Gardens with a Costco? SwolPhinCoCo?

Don't be silly, they wouldn't put a Costco on that site... it's too small for a Costco, I'll be a two-story Target store instead.

Oooh SwolphinCoGét (with the bougie pronunciation of Targét) sounds SUPER premium.

Most of the first floor was poured yesterday. These hotels seem to go vertical pretty quickly once they start pouring the floors.

Corporate events.

Swan... Dolphin... and the Land Sea Lion. And then call the guy who made the dolphin fishes to get it right this time.

What do you mean "get it right"? I'd say they pretty much nailed a classical representation.
