Disney plans to build a massive dynamic art installation on International Drive

Aaaaah....1971. When Casting hired people who took pride in their personal appearance.

As somebody who lived through it, it was a much better time.

Well people still take pride in their appearance, it's just not the 1971 cookie cutter appearance you remember.

That said, casting had no choice but to change the Disney Look substantially as gender norms shifted. Unfortunately, they also took that opportunity to allow visible tattoos and other unrelated things simply because they couldn't find enough qualified people. Disney used to offer a competitive hourly wage that attracted the best local talent. Now they offer the same or below-average, in an area where they've exhausted the local labor pool, which means you simply can't be too picky.

I HATE this thing. Just the giant LED screen would have been bad enough, but instead they covered the entire building in LED lights. This is why I'm not completely in love with the lights on Spaceship Earth... it equates it with stuff like this.

Not to mention, they clearly intentionally made it face Universal. It's literally just Disney throwing their weight around and nothing more.

What you’re trying to say is: it’s an underpaid meat market and they couldn’t flood any more CPs in and still keep the teacups open

The last part makes it look incredibly lame/desperate - actually. Animated dumbo is a “threat” to Uni? The place that by 2025 will have constructed the 3 newest parks in central florida?
Big bad Bob.

I can imagine that Disney thought they’d be bringing some magical gentrification to this corner of central Florida. In reality it only has served to lower themselves to the level of I-Drive.

To be fair Universal did construct the top of the volcano to look like a middle finger salute at Disney World.

The billboard is garbage and should never have been approved

but the Volcano is gorgeous dimensional and beautifully done... The billboard is just that...another billboard on I-drive and completely unnecessary.

I think that was tongue in cheek

It could be a proof of concept that will multiply and expand all over...

Complete with the joke material…classic

Funny to imagine that store getting traffic other than random foot travel curiosity and Mango's guests.

Or someone running in on their way from the airport to ask what time the 1 o’clock parade starts…

Here's a photo of Universal testing out their next fireworks show... rumor has it it'll be pointed south-southeast.

Disney has an fool proof defense for that…

You just buy a $29.99 glow necklace and the “power of YOUR dreams” will see you through.

…Don’t be late for your ADR or you’ll be charged

The response should always be how is the weather and where in the route are you?
