We visited the fourth week of September. On Monday, September 30th, it seemed that work on the mural had begun as lines were visible on the eastern side of the tower. Without the mural, the colors and styling reminded us of Scottsdale condominium communities and resorts. A-frame roofs should...

A former Disney Store executive, who worked with the company in the 1990s and 2000s, told me that the internal language used in applicant tracking was "high affinity guest." The examples provided were riding Space Mountain 6 times in one day and naming all of the locations of the lesser known...

There is a TikTok video circulating that the "aging riverbed" is being used to justify the expansion similar to the "irreparable water damage" that resulted in Mission: Space replacing the Horizons building.

A 10-story tower in a campground.

When Tom Staggs left the Walt Disney Company, his image was removed from the Pandora groundbreaking photo. Bob Chapek announced and described the details for Reflections. I could see them purposefully reimagining the resort to distance it from any associations with Chapek.

We were crafting in the BLT Community Room this evening and Recreation Cast Members were preparing indoor activity station materials for tomorrow as they are expecting guests to remain in their rooms and/or at the resort.

Taller than Disney's Riviera Resort? Guess they are looking to market and sell Theme Park View rooms for fireworks viewing.

If we lose the Rivers of America entirely, then I would like to see the Liberty Belle docked at Port Orleans - Riverside. Thematically it is a win.

I do not recall if it was someone within our community or posted on another board, but a member said they were part of a focus group where the name Disney's Colors of Nature Resort was discussed. I remember liking it much more than Reflections - A Disney Lakeside Lodge.

Do we know if there is any truth to the earlier rumors about the south loop being retained?

I know this is stupid, but I have been thinking about D23 2022 and the "Have you ever wondered what lies beyond Big Thunder Mountain?" line. Now, I randomly laugh at the best response. "Nothing, but Cars is now where the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island used to be."

This seems to be the $1,000,000 question. Has the Walt Disney Company ever cancelled an announced project before, only to bring it back years later as initially proposed?

On TikTok, one user said that the storefronts in Frontierland are those of Disneyland Paris, not Magic Kingdom. He noted where the entrances to Country Bear Musical Jamboree and Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe should be, but are not as they are presently. He thought it appeared to be a poor...

The location is truly unfortunate. Not even a canopy to provide shade for the performers.

When walls went up and the hub was closed for reimagining, navigating the walkways from the former Future World East and West sides was not always easy. During those years, I did push a family member in a wheelchair and traveled with another in a scooter, so it could have been specific to our...

I wonder if we are getting Reflections as originally announced or a somewhat different nature-inspired resort.

Do we think there is anyone within the Walt Disney Company that has said in a meeting, "If we have pervasive, active construction zones within guest view at Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom, do you think it might result in guests vacationing elsewhere until we are done?"

EPCOT from 2019 through 2024 was a walled experience with construction defining the park experience. I cannot help but wonder if the devotion of Disney Parks fans is great enough to overlook a 10-year construction zone at Magic Kingdom. We will not stop going to Walt Disney World, but...

Maybe it is time to update this line for the Carousel of Progress: You know, Walt loved the idea of progress, and he loved the American family. And he himself was probably as American as anyone could possibly be.

If Vice President Kamala Harris is elected President, then she will be the first woman, the second Black American, and the first Asian American to occupy the office. The closure of The Hall of Presidents prior to or during her presidency would seem to conflict with the efforts of the Stories...
