I don't know about anyone else on here but I hate the colors of the TTC. It looks like a vhs cover from the 90's when you walk in. I mean look at these horrid colors:

Like if the color choices weren't so gaudy I would be fine, but it feels like it was designed by the people who make tacky St. Cloud/Kissimmee knock off Disney merchandise.

If I had to put a redeco of the TTC on a list of things to be improved at WDW, it would be pretty far down, IMO. There are quite a few things inside the parks that need to be done ASAP before something like this. Not saying it shouldn't be done, but not at the expense of other things.

It really does need a complete rethink and new color palette. It looked obnoxious in 1993. I miss the topiaries on the little grass hill between the monorail station and the ferry boat dock.

I wish Disney would give the trams a new color design as well. I loved the 70s orange and brown color scheme. Disneyland has nice looking trams as well.

WDW essentially ripped off the purple and yellow from Busch Gardens trams in the early 90s.

The TTC is splendid architecture. The EPCOT line, and even the Ferry, detract slightly, but a gem still. I too would love to see it restored. There is a unity of style with the monorail, the Contemporary, Tomorrowland, even the rest of the MK, although such subtleties are not appreciated, one gets the impression. And yet it is what uplifts WDW from the gaudy, forgettable lesser theme park environment.

The 90's clutter is a joke. Super happy fun girly colours. Junk, from the worst generation of WDW designers.

I'm all for keeping the architecture. It could really use some simple beautification.

The colors and signage are horrific. The heros and villains parking is a pathetic attempt at some sort of relevancy or what their idea man might have called "edgieness".

Woohhhhhh.

I miss the tram jokes when you could barely keep your eyes open at the end of a long day.

If your Grumpy step out to the left, if your Bashful don't be please step out to the right. We all just wanna go home.

Scar just doesn't have the same charm. I guess I've lost the plot.

I for one would like to see a complete remodel of the transportation and Ticket Center as more of a victorian-style design with modern tech being used.

The monorail loop already has two Victorian stations and the 'Micktorian' aesthetic has been done plenty by Disney. The Transportation and Ticket Center was not intended as a themed space but as a showcase of what could be; a multimodal transit facility intended to inspire its visitors, a first glimpse of the promises of EPCOT.

Bad mouth SotB if you must, but, that is one of the only things that has remained basically the same for the past 35 years that I have been traveling to Disney. I live pretty close to it now, only about 100 miles or so, but, I still love the road signs, (not as funny as they once were) (Honeymoon in our Heir Conditioned Hotel rooms, always cracked me up.) And I look forward to the giant sombrero. I've only stopped in there once and that was to use the facilities and when I discovered that they charged to use them, after that I drove a mile or so more to either the NC Welcome station if going North or the SC Welcome Station if going South. Seriously, a tourist trap of such renown and they charge to use the bathroom. Never went back so I don't know if they still charge of not, but, it certainly is an I-95 landmark.

I don't agree that the colors at TTC are tacky. They are bright and cheerful and not a bit subdued, and they shouldn't be. You're at WDW, about to enter the Magic Kingdom, it's supposed to be bright and fun. I have never, ever thought that TTC was anything but appropriate. You folks must be tons of fun at parties. Maybe they should drape everything in black velvet to achieve a solemn tone.

Or maybe we understand that design is capable of creating exciting spaces without just slapping on a bunch of garishly colored accessories.

Forget it... I just keep thinking that it's a theme park, what do I know of the seriousness of a freaking Transportation center. We sure don't want to be overwhelmed with anything that might make us feel positive when we can gloom it down and make it be mellow.

You got your teal v. orange and your purple v. yellow. All that's left is tomato soup red v. avocado for the 90's trifecta of opposite and clashing colors. We're missing confetti bangs and small random dots.


"The Ticketing Center is very clean, though."

"It's certainly uncontaminated by tickets."
