I presume that the temporary dining area has been taken down by now, or has it? If so, have they brought the parking lot that was used back into service for OPR and did they resurface it?

Exactly! When I saw the most recent artwork, I was thinking, well, it looks like they brought in in from the Vegas Strip. But my next thought was that it wasn't as good as that.

Poly. WL is a great resort (and it's just hard to beat it for Christmas Holiday theming), but the intangibles for disability are so much stronger for the Poly. Plus the fireworks are much more viewable from the Poly. But for using wheelchairs, it effectively gives you pretty easy access to the...

Agreed. I was astonished at the speed that the towers and stations were going up when we were there in May/June. Stayed in CBR. Went to park in the morning. Came back that evening and they'd put up the tower next to our building. Next day, same deal: came back and they'd put the wheel section...

Random wacky thought - Imagine the fun had the press release been typo afflicted: Disney Announces Naturism Inspired Resort.:p

Okay: Looks nice. I've seen lodges like that at a number of places. It is a bit minimalist, but that's very much what WDW resorts seem to be these days. Generic? Well, this appeals to me a heck of a lot more than the Riviera's concept art, which looks like a Homewood Suites hotel. And, yes...

Brilliant! My advice, copyright it, and quick! :D

Oh..., updating the logo after 30 years. I always liked the old one, but this one is far more legible. I've a feeling that will be what's up in duplicate on Victory Way in a few hours.

When we were there in May/June, the mansion was barely visible from far too many angles due to the trees. Good move.

To which I will add: Do the Coke Freestyle machines stay after the resort changes?

It'd be nice to change it to the original Barbados color scheme.

Nice pictures! So, it's not opening "this morning". That's not exclusionary of October 1st, but it looks like they've still got some roof work to do. Looks like my prediction isn't going to make it. But they're close. The close-up of Sebastian's Bistro and the Banana Cabana Bar shows artwork on...

I finally saved the picture for greater close-up inspection and I believe you are correct. They are likely WDW security SUVs. I did find another folding directional type sign, further in the entrance area, deeper into the interior from the entrance area, but still outside. Also, on the pathway...

Oh, so that was from yesterday, September 29, 2018. It looks like 2 taxis are coming in from the northern entrance/exit(?), with the type of folding sign that often has directions on it and is often found at the entrances to WDW resorts, just underneath the porte cochere (covered entrance). The...

Sorry about that. I was haphazard in that post, going back and forth whether to link the video. The vlogger states his information at the start of the video, but doesn't mention his sources. In his video of last month, he mentioned that he had talked to cast members (IIRC he said he'd stopped...

Thanks so much for the update and pictures!

From other reports, I see that the beach has been closed off at Aruba, as the cart/walking path is being widened along that stretch, which is roughly from the Skyliner pylon by Aruba's quiet pool, to the fenced off area leading to the Riviera Skyliner station. It also has been reported that...

Nope, that's new! The original pirate cruises are ages 4-12 (potty trained is a requirement), and during daytime. This increases the ages to 10-16. Both the original and the new cruise have the same price point. The original cruises have been going on since at least 2001, as it shows up in a...

As I've forgotten which site that is, heh, there's been an interactive pirate cruise at the CBR for decades, so I'll ask if this is anything new, or are they just announcing that it'll be sailing now from the Barefoot Boatyard, like it used to (it's been docking at Carribean Cay since the...
