I bought a 100 Years of Magic beach towel while at Disney last week.
The beach towel is in left to right chronological order of characters and theme parks.
After looking at it in detail it has all the WDW park icons on it in a line.
In the same line as the park icons to the right is a floating Arabian castle in the sky being built.

Anybody know what this is?

I noticed that too. That panorama logo was on most merchandise year...it could just stand for "the future"...

Its the next theme park, the one built on the space station, of course. It will be themed on the outside like an arabian bazaar.

I noticed the same thing... It kind of reminded me of the "venetian" resort that was "coming soon" in the 1971 book

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin are considered a new attraction for the 100YoM celebration, so i'm betting that's it.

And here's the mysterious building.

Apologies for the poor photo.

I also thought it was symbolic for building the future too
It's not clear in the picture posted, but the towel shows more to right and shows a crane building the structure.
The structure appears being built from top down and not complete.
I'm just wondering if it is something specific.

MicBat, I thought that it was the Venetian because of the positioning to the contemporary in the picture.
But the structure in the picture does not look like any picture of the Venetian I have.
Do you have a better picture of the Venetian resort?
While in WDW I did notice the proposed location of the Venetian resort more cleared then what I remembered 5 years prior and the topiaries removed from the area.

I don't think it's the flying carpets because that's already in the picture.

Probably... Most likely, it's just promise of things to come... "building a castle in the sky!"

I just dismissed it like that too, but we can but hope...
