AVATAR land construction progress

[roj2323]

It is an ironic thing.

When Disney builds a gift shop at the exit of an attraction people complain.

When Disney does not build one (eg Soarin) people still complain.

So they should build a gift shop by the exit and put up a sign: Exit through the gift shop if you want.

And if you dont want? You're stuck at the ride forever?

Haha it was just the way you wrote it no, but I totally agree! Its more fun going through a giftshop if you actually WANNA go through a gift shop

What is happening in Dade County?

Too much to mention here. I read "The Next Miami" and "Curbed Miami" websites regularly. Nothing short of amazing.

Hey guys! First of all, there is no confirmation by Disney on this, so take it as a speculation for now...

I have heard from some Disney cast members that Pandora - The World of Avatar is to open on April 14, 2017.

Thanks!

That's oddly precise. Reasonable ballpark but I doubt there's a specific date.

Thanks for the info.

That may be the day I picked way back when when everyone was making their guesses. I know it is close to it. I must be from the future.

If you are from the future, can I borrow your time machine to go back to the good old days of EPCOT Center?

Cool profile picture - Is the Poly a very good resort?

Thanks! I like it, but not for staying there, just spending a few hours. I gave you a bit more details as to my opinion via PM.

Hopefully there will be some ground level pictures of the project. Love the Ariel photos that have been posted lately. But close up ground pictures would really give us a true feeling of how massive this land will be once done.

DCA 2, China, fixing other divisions, acquiring worthwhile IP's that could be effectively exploited in the parks such as Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar were the major priorities and time consuming. (Negotiations etc.) And considering that the parks made a billion dollars last quarter WITHOUT these new projects indicates beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they did things in the right order and this turnaround is pure genius.

Interesting spin. But there is absolutely no excuse for allowing a premium product like WDW to deteriorate like they did. You keep championing The Pleasure Island redo as a brilliant plan, completely ignoring the decade long cluster they created. Only a real fan can look at nine years of ply boarded up venues as brilliant.

Beautiful place with great pools, marina etc. I think it is the best resort overall. I love AKL but I think location and transportation options put the Poly just a bit above it. You do have to block the price out of your mind though (as with all Disney deluxe resorts!)

April 22 was everyone's guess. That's close too.

I thought they were opening this Spring and every time I looked at the pictures I kept thinking no way. Spring 2017 looks more in line. I am excited to see the finished product.

They were spending literally billions on upgrading neglected infrastructure and attractions at WDW while engineering New attractions, reimagined theme parks, a new theme park in China and new lands for theme parks overseas during that time period. Fact.

Not to mention acquiring IPs and fixing animation, live action, gaming, and adding cruise ships and DVC offerings. Whew.

And the brain trust created a 25 year old park that is 1/3 closed and only has 5 rides. Brilliant expansion plan.

Causing a train wreck and then cleaning it up shouldn't be considered brilliant just because they are cleaning it up.

Yeah, no park should ever need a major makeover, it should never be allowed to get to the point where that becomes necessary.
