Sad that I am most intrigued by the wooden joists, although beefy wooden joists, in a commercial/ride building such as this in Florida. Wonder if it is original?

This you win! This is the exact correct approach to this. That fountain is interesting and there are interesting architectural references. I don't this is a masterpiece, but it is definitely not a disaster. You guys are being a bit ridiculous. Find me a French, Mediterranean, or even...

This is an interesting change to say the least. I think @MisterPenguin has it right that they said why don't we let people attribute themselves to attractions they help us with. This seems to be a shift with the current management. And it is true this was at IAAPA, but has this been done before...

Yeah I have been wondering the same thing. I am thinking food cart area. Weird that they ripped out everything they just planted to do it.

9 months of work at what speed of completion is the question??

Love the Ratatouille construction sign in the last photo. Nothing screams safety like an animated rat that is a chef.

Yep beautiful brand new quiet Kohler generators for every gondola station as said above. And I think the plumbing and electrical look to be for a small bathroom and break room/office area for the transportation folks at the gondola station. Looks like all of the other gondola stations have this...

So they held out to open all the ramps in one phase. And also answers the entrance on Buena Vista going bus only.

Yeah and it is a good question. I doubt and really doubt there has ever been a property wide outage. Parts of parks and hotel areas sure, but property wide seems unlikely. That is a good thing because it would be hell on Earth. I was working at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center awhile ago...

The good thing is that Disney/RCID have all underground utilities minus the higher voltage stuff. So pretty protected from power line failures.

Not to continue off topic to this thread, but I think it will work. They seem to be turning around with attendance up 9% this year so far. And they have the right focus. A marine life based theme park, but really sell the rides and attractions and most importantly the value for the money. They...

Just the permits for the drilling are all that I have seen. That permit approval was in April but of course ridiculous 2021 end date. Yep announcement packaging didn't seem for the average Disney consumer mostly. The aggregated 1,700 room number and just the way the press release read was...

Just looks like the big push for progress on the ramps that they are just going to open it all at once. I mean much of it all is lined already. Just those final two ramps that were poured and the guard rails and lighting. Just seems that they are waiting for all the ramps at once and decided not...

Am I the only one questioning the why and timing of this announcement? Seems like a random timing and even for Disney early announcements, especially in the area of resorts. Perhaps the start of dripping out future development announcements prior to Nov 8 4Q earnings call? Maybe important...

And looks like they will not be doing the phased opening of the ramps into DHS. All the ramps will open at once and then they will just have the flyovers over Victory Way on Osceola. That is definitely temporary construction road which will be going away. I don't think there will be a Victory...

For the Disney Springs piece that is easy to solve. They can solve the free parking issue by doing what they do now with buses from the parks to the Springs and vice versa and that is have it available only after a certain time. The Springs station on whatever the system is to be will be passed...

Plus we have in the last 15-20 years been turning the old railway right of ways to rail trails and making them pedestrian and biking facilities. I know some of the routes on that map are definitely no longer have rails and have wonderful trails. Density makes transit, and even more...

Okay good! Debated if it was just a photograph artifact or not!

Is it me or are all of the black pixels on the signs ridiculous and also unacceptable?

I almost completely agree with your sentiments, however I would argue that Toy Story Land is not a counter example of terrible architecture. Rather it is a good use of architecture and place making. I mean the buildings are rectangular and flat and boxy, well because they are all supposed to be...
