All that remains:

Good.


Now to hope the new Tron Land will look good. The third incarnation of this land - that if simply been left alone right now would be gorgeous vintage Space Age. But let;s at least hope the land will feel uniform rather than adding a third separate layer to the two completely uncommunicating existing ones.

Yep, think it went sometime around the beginning of April?

 

[marni1971]

It did. It was reported a few weeks ago.

About time.

I called it the leaf collector b/c it always had old leaves on the roof that you could see from the peoplemover.

Now all they need to do is remove the Tinkertoy Windmill (Which could have worked nicely in Toy Story Land) since they are Contemporizing the Marketplace in Disney Springs...

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Nooo it looks cute and Disneyish, we need more of that in Disney Springs than the bland shopping mall architecture we’re getting.

Well, it only makes sense since TSL has tinkertoys spread out thru the land...And since Once Upon a Toy is half the building it use to be it would fit better with it..

 

[Little Green Men]

It did. It was reported a few weeks ago.

About time.

Will it be moved to TSL or is it trashed?

Wouldn't be surprised if it moves outside of Alien Spin! It would be one thing the Mouse could save a little money on.

I don't necessarily hate this sort of oversized marquee at a roadside shopping mall, but there is a great irony that this is now identified as Disneyish. Namely, that Disney World was built in exact opposition to this sort of over the top, tacky decoration.

Once, if you drove to WDW, you would pass a thousand oversized roadside signs such as this toy. And then you'd arrive at WDW...and suddenly none of that anymore, instead everything is pretty, everything is remarkably sophisticated, themed, pleasing to the eye rather than screaming for attention...

But that was once upon a time.

I can't say that I'm broken up about this, it seems over the top that every ride I get off, dumps me into a gift shop anyways.

"Oh look Honey, buy stuff".

Good riddance.

 

[hanwill]

It was creating congestion with the 20 minute waits for the TTA (people mover) anyway....
