Oh thanks, I edited my post. I figured they would've started by now, considering how far along Galaxy's Edge is...

Beautiful hotel. My favourite at DLP.
Yeah, on my last trip I stayed at the Newport Bay as I'd never stayed there and it had just been refurbished. It was nice and all, but I wished I had of just stayed at the Sequoia again!Those pictures make me wish we had been able to stay there instead of Newport Bay.
Oh I've been bamboozled, tricked, and shanghaied!

Again, we may be drifting off topic (sort of), but I completely disagree with that article! I actually think Grumbach's hotel was the most successful of the Disneyland Paris hotels. It certainly think it has aged the best, in my opinion.
My original phrasing may have been inelegant. I didn't mean that folks were actually trying to dislike what Disney does in the sense of saying they don't like it regardless of how they really feel. I meant that it seems like there are some folks who just do dislike whatever today's Disney does, regardless of what it is. Which I can't understand. I don't see how someone can be a Disney fan and yet constantly be negative about everything Disney does. But that is just me.
Wait... that's what Tom thinks? I didn't think that's what he thought, and I know him pretty well. When he said I was accusing people of having ulterior motives I took him to mean that he thought I was accusing people of being dishonest in portraying what they thought -- of being a troll, essentially. That's not what I think or meant. I just meant that some people seem to always have a negative reaction to everything Disney does, no matter what, and I can't understand that.
a square roof does not mean Frank Lloyd Wright... You can trace architectural influences through many buildings if you isolate tiny details but the spirit of what I am seeing has nothing to do with Frank Lloyd Wright's aesthetic. Just because they used a modern style porte cochere does not mean the resort is evocative of his work... That is like saying the new McDonalds restaurants are clearly influenced by the Memphis architectural movement, but no, it is just a cheap concrete box....and these buildings are more evocative of a Marriott B Brand airport motel than a Frank Lloyd Wright masterwork... Again you can say, Hey Frank used rectangular doors in the Robie house and glass in his windows so this is Frank Lloyd Wright inspired, but having been to the Robie House many times and Taliesin as well, I can tell you this looks nothing like his work...and he and his heirs would be insulted to hear the comparison...
Naming idea: Call this location Boulder Ridge Resort, it seems to be all about rough angles and raw stonework so it makes sense.What I think they're going for:
