Looks like the back of the Seas pavilion (the parts facing the monorail station/parking lot) is finally being painted to look more like the park-facing sides. Via Bioreconstruct.

Huh, interesting change. Please let this mean that they actually care about backstage views and that something will be done about Cosmic Rewind (especially with the permit recently at that address). I know it's not realistic, though. :(

I bet you one cupcake or one mortgage payment, whichever is lower at market rates, how likely that is. (There's a ghost with a hat I'd reference...)

I mean seriously...they are still at the metal studs...I guess the interior part has to be a little further along, but this looks like somewhere in 2024 at the earliest.... unless all of the sudden things start happening... Like huge busloads of workers descend on the site like a swarm of locusts....

but a lot of the structure in the photos is just the metal studs at this point...unless this is just going to be a hollow shell....with no internal finishing.
I have seen them take 18 months to finish an outdoor Margarita stand.... so 5 months to build out and theme an entire interior, plus complete the exterior panel cladding, landscape, plumbing lighting and furnishing does not seem like enough time with the pace of construction we have witnessed to this point.
And most certainly not less than 60 days for an October 1st opening date...

Oh, I agree that it won’t make October 1, but we haven’t seen the interior in a while. Are there shots that confirm no finishing is underway?

I haven't seen anything...So we don't know....which is what I said, "I guess the interior part has to be a little further along". but aside from the exterior panels there would have to be some finish work to the rest of the structure I would think... the ceilings and interior edges and sides of even the covered areas... This picture appears to show openings into the building on the left side behind the columns. No doors or frames yet and looks like unfinished space...mind you I said "looks like" but with Florida humidity and daily summer rain, it is doubtful they would begin drywall and finishing without having doors in place...

I won't expect it to all be said and done come next spring 2024 on how they are dragging their feet with it..
