    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    There will probably be art of the coming attraction on the solid wood construction walls in other sections. The printed fabric scrims generally use photographs of whatever is being refurbished. It's being replaced instead of refurbished, but they obviously only have photos of the thing that...

    You could also just not take a scrim personally. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    MK Cool Ship Now Closed for Refurbishment at Magic Kingdom

    They actually need to level both it and the current Space Mountain entrance whenever they close it for re-tracking. Ideally, they’d simultaneously give TRON its own gift shop by replacing the standalone bathroom with a gift shop/bathroom combo more in the style of the Shanghai lounge, though...

    Much better. Now continue to follow through elsewhere in the land.

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    Sometimes missing things is not the same as suggesting there is no oversight, routine inspection, or correction of contract work on Disney’s end.

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    It will indeed be walled off and isolated, only abutting the carpet. Planters always blocked circulation there, and the new planters are shown being installed in the same spot in the latest pictures, just now with alcoves against the bar to accommodate seating. That said, despite the fact that...

    MK New Beak and Barrel - Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge

    I have to assume this was aimed at my earlier post. Just want to point out that I’m generally not down on the new things happening at the parks, and the digital design and print issues are neither specific to this experience nor to Disney within the realm of themed design more broadly. In that...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    His takes are typically just matter-of-fact. I honestly would not take it as condescension. 🤷‍♂️

    He was just saying that he is not and was never an Imagineer and therefore cannot mentor in that capacity, not that he has no wisdom to offer.

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    The artwork and the samples on site suggest something more in the teal family than olive this time, which would be more consistent with the rest of the renovation.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    You can also not imply things that weren’t said, but here we are. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    MK Cool Ship Now Closed for Refurbishment at Magic Kingdom

    The whole structure was removed overnight. The website still lists it as returning, but no one really knows if it will be the exact same structure. The pavement footprint makes it look pretty similar in size and placement, though.

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    Honestly, it doesn’t make much sense to move the mundane villains over. You already have Gaston’s Tavern and almost had Tremaine’s manor in New Fantasyland.

    MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

    I mean, while the art isn't final, it looks like the color scheme will largely be reverted, just with some of the additional gold potentially maintained on the keep.

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    Much as I generally disagree with the argument that Batuu was a problematic approach, the issue isn't the same here. Is anyone really clamoring to explore Jafar's quarters, Frollo's chamber, Ursula's makeup vanity, Ratcliffe's tent, or Lady Tremaine's bedroom? These are not well-defined or...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    “Enjoy a Joffrey’s pumpkin spice latte at the converted old Dutch church while watching fellow guests navigate the covered bridge, charmingly underbuilt despite steady headless hoof traffic.”

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    It’s also probably wise because of how disconnected many of the villains are both in terms of temporal placement and the nature of their source world (i.e. how much magic exists). You can pass it off as “conjured” for the high-fantasy medieval sorcerers while still not discounting a mundane...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    Cool, we’ve now trotted back out the even worse concept of an entire park based on an outsize faddish fascination with a specific type of character void of all the narrative context that makes them interesting in the first place.
