It actually broke ground in 2019???? Wow they were quiet about it.
Someone pulled some turf up to push some marker posts in.
Its behind schedule.
They lost the ladder. They're borrowing one from Shanghai. It's on a slow boat from China.

They actually had to order a ladder to help build their new ladder...With all the construction, they had to use some of their precious ladder resources in their ladder fabrication warehouse. To do this, they had to sacrifice the old Communicore West building for ladder making steel.

Every time I see this joke, I think of the show "Community" and this scene...
"Welcome to...LADDERS."
I then think of a bunch of Disney Execs all sitting in a crappy community college classroom learning about ladder safety and cheering at a person actually using a ladder.

You know what's funny?
Also, at least we know when the first 3 are opening, which are all in the next 5 months thankfully.

When I worked as a concierge at Y&B I got selected to be a "Safety in Motion" trainer for the resort... Legit it could have been summed up with "if you're uncomfortable while doing something, figure out a better way" like use a cart, don't hold heavy objects away from your torso, don't twist your shoulders away from your hips while carrying something, etc.. Management was SO excited about it.
I didn't know Cheapek wore bow ties...

Completely off-topic and I apologize but one of the best Disney moments I have ever had was checking into the Y&B club after a cruise for two nights when the check-in lady decided to upgrade up to concierge or club level, not really sure what it was called, to "Ease our transition from the sea back to the real world." I cannot recall if we had a basic garden room or "standard" view (parking lot) but it was very surprising, to say the least. In the past, we have always stayed at the Shades of Green Resort, which is by no means not nice, but it is nowhere near the base price for the Y&B club, and yet we managed to get upgraded to this room. I remember we looked up the price for concierge at Y&B and I remember it was over $1000 a night but I cannot recall the exact price.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the room was brand new. We were the first guests after an extensive renovation to stay in that room. I believe the rooms were complete a couple of days before expected so the rooms were unbooked, so I guess we were the guinea pigs? I'm sure not going to complain! However, we did feel a little guilty leaving the room to go to the park...
I do have one complaint about the whole experience though... Now that I have peaked in life there's nowhere to go but down
Here's the view
Talk about Disney Magic!!!

Michelle received an unbelievable birthday gift of a night at the GF several years ago. At check in we were then upgraded even more - to a room we could never afford or dream of having. As if staying at the GF anyway wasn’t already a dream. Like you, we know it’ll never happen again but we cherish the memory. We even stayed in the following morning until check out time! Suffice to say it had a bit of a view:
Who says I don’t believe in pixie dust now and then?

That was the announcement that I was most excited about. It would have been a nice location change for the Candlelight Processional away from the American Garden.No, I'm putting *you* on!
Also, never officially cancelled.
The Moana walkthrough thing is supposed to teach people about the water cycle and the different stages it goes through, so should have more edutainment than many of the other IP attractions in Epcot.

Not to continue the drift, but it's my understanding that the theatre was primarily being built in order to mask a parking garage that was planned as part of it (on the "basement" level). This would have replaced the management parking lot that is currently behind MSUSA and TL, which is where the theatre was slated to be built. I think that would have been a really interesting design, and I'm honestly really sad that they're not doing it.
