    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I know this was posted earlier, but I'm too lazy to scroll through 160-odd pages. Can somebody post the site plan for the towers' parking lot? On a possibly related note, what's all the construction for along Floridian Way, directly across from the tower site? Is that parking? Infrastructure?

    Grand Floridian

    What sort of tips are you looking for? Dining, relaxing, entertainment? Despite my frustration with the parks and resorts lately and recent changes at the GF, I'm still rather fond of the GF and I have a few tips to start: It's a good resort for viewing fireworks. You can see them decently...

    Is the Spirit of Aloha dinner show coming back?

    I, too, wonder how slammed Capt Cook's will be after the towers open. I don't think this would happen, but wouldn't the space behind the Dole Whip stand that extends into the DVC sales office area (I think that's what it is) / former Wyland Gallery be a possibility for expansion or moving?

    Pools are too strict on balls

    LOL. I know I relayed the story here years ago, but at least at the Polynesian pool, I really wish they had been a lot more strict when it came to balls.

    Why not remove Cinderella's Castle

    Disney could easily free up over an acre of unused, unprofitable space that serves no purpose in the parks any longer since atmosphere and placemaking can't be easily quantified on a spreadsheet. Or even better, why not re-imagine the entire hub area. Even without paving over the castle...

    Why not remove Cinderella's Castle

    It should be removed. The artist who created the castle's mosaics was previously one of the most-respected interrogators of Allied POWs in the Nazi Luftwaffe. This castle is thus, certainly, "problematic." Which is the word I see certain people parroting to defend paving over Rivers of...

    Hey, anybody from Disney Company! Since the parks' direction is abundantly clear, I'm offering this to you for free. No consulting fees. Gratis. Nada. I'm giving you over 36.5 acres of currently underutilized, unprofitable space in which you can place a wide variety of screen rides and gift...

    Someone remind me. How many years did this company take to build a small pedestrian bridge connecting the Grand Floridian to the MK walkway?

    LOL. You know full well it's pick and choose with some of the superfans. It was a little bit of a troll, but also not really, but a few years back I posted that Main Street USA needs to be razed because it represents a problematic era in American history. So if that's the justification for...

    Well, there is Lookout Cay. But how it was executed doesn't fall on Rohde's shoulders.

    Well, we are in the "see, the Marvel character visited Epcot as a kid so this makes perfect sense" phase of visionary leadership at the Parks division.

    If they truly pave over a pretty riverscape, this will make their greenwashing dopiness about straws and cup tops even more hilarious. At least to me. Maybe they can use the tons of plastic garbage merch sitting, unmoving and unwanted, in Big Lots and Ollies currently and use it as fill material.

    I've sort of suspected that's why they often didn't run the keel boats. "There is no merchandising or calculable ROI on TSI." --> "Let's not run the keel boats every day because why would we shunt guests to a location with no ROI." --> People can rarely get on boats to TSI --> "See, nobody...
