***oops should read "Construction"
I don't understand why Disney takes so long to build things from groundbreaking to opening day. For example, it took 3 years to build Epcot in its entirety, Magic Kingdom just over two years which is great. Depsite this, contruction of individual rides/areas/hotels take the same amount of time (EE, ToT, FLE, GVC etc.). I understand it can be harder do build around existing infrastructure. I see malls in my area complety build and open in less than 18 months, hotels in a year. So whats the deal with Disney? Is it their financing plan? Do they do it on purpose to generate publicity? One would assume, they would want it open ASAP to maxmize returns immediately. I also recall they were one of the first engineers to use 4d in the plans. Whereas, time would be scheduled and they could scrub ahead in a timeline to see what stage of completion they should be at, at any given minute. You think with their tech and resources things should be done quicker than the "outside of Disney" world.
