I can't imagine that they would have erected this hat, where people would work and walk underneath, without some variety of heavy duty concrete footings -- on at least the three load bearing pipes coming down from the hat (and likely underneath the hands and ears as well). With that said, they...

Im sorry, what does the 'park icon' have to do with efficient demolition? There's plenty of quick, safe demolitions out there. No is expecting TDO to strap dynamite to the hat and implode it. You and I can agree to disagree here. I believe they have given this project to the lowest bidder...

I am going to hazard a guess that your average run of the mill steel worker will tell you that 'unbolting' rivets from a 15 year old structure is likely more time consuming than just cutting it away with a welder. just my guess....but those bolts freeze up over time, the threads rust out...most...

Sorry, not buying it. That seems to be the running retort forWDW apologists around here in regards to these two projects. You can have a large crew working at night -- making sizable changes to the structure -- without having to worry about the park guests during the day. Im not so sure that...

By the 27th? You think the hat will be gone by then? Judging by current rate of progress, you are being extremely optimistic/borderline delusional in regards to such a guess. Seriously. Cutting away the fiberglass was the *easy* part. Now we're talking about actual steel structure. My...

Point conceded. However, we're talking about two structures that are vastly different in size and scope. Like I said 10-15k sq feet. They had the entire lot cleared in 3 weeks. 4 weeks to remove this structure with a crane -- no matter what the condition of the ground below. Is sad. Go...

Seriously? Calm Down? Not really 'hyper' here so why don't you grow a pair of manners. This is just a sad scenario. Show appears to be of zero concern to these people. Between this and the hub at the MK, one could write a textbook on how to drain every ounce of efficiency out of a...

You know -- they shouldn't bother. Just let it sit there and let the elements take care of it. I think nature will rot it to the ground faster than the demo crews are working to surgically dismantle it.

Thanks everyone! Looks like I've got my answer(s)!

So next week, we arrive in WDW with two other close families for a three-family vacation. We've planned all of the ADRs and fastpass+'s together...This trip will either be the best ever or I might not make it back alive. The jury's out on that... Anyway, I've started thinking about the...

The automated checkin also screws the customer out of a relaxed introduction to hotel staff. What happens when you get to the room and something isn't to your liking (like oh the last 4-5x I've been to bay lake)?? Would you rather contact the person who's job it was to welcome you and assure you...

Pictures or it didn't happen! ;)

Ok! Where's today's update? You guys are slackin'!!!!!!

When you say temporary....do you mean that the existing red concrete will be dyed or painted the anticipated brown we see in the mockups? or will it all be removed again---and replaced with a brown concrete?

:jawdrop:I had to go look that one up! LOL!!!!!! I will never be the same again.....

No, that was Eric Clapton and Babyface....

Thanks for the update!

Im not sure "infinitely quicker" is accurate. Are there times when getting to the MK is faster than getting a mono from the resort to the MK? Absolutely. However, there have been plenty of times that I walked into the station at the contemporary and got to the MK in about as much time as it...

Has there been any update regarding when the repairs to the contemporary will commence? Also, will the express mono stop at the contemporary instead of the resort monos or does it just mean that there will be no monorails stopping at the hotel and everything will be buses?

I need to quote this post -- just so more people read it....and those that read it the first time will read it again. Seriously. You read the book Disney War, which heartily eviscerates Eisner for a handful of bad decisions and missed opportunities....and it's hard to imagine any of them...
