Disney Springs construction begins

Hopefully by then they will have changed their mind on the Disney Springs name.
Downtown Disney couldn't be more perfect.

Walt Disney World Village arguably could be more perfect.

Downtown Disney Springs? Hmmmm...nah...Disney's Downtown Springs? Nope. Disney Springs Downtown?? Possibly...lol

I like the name BUENA VISTA SPRINGS - more closely tied to the old name for this area.

If they had just built this freakin' bridge years ago, they wouldn't have needed to allow the little ones to walk through PI to go between the Marketplace and West Side, and maybe PI would still be alive.

Is this bridge a temporary thing to bypass concstruction on PI? or will it be a permanent fixture?

I believe that bridge is temporary. There are plans to build a new permanent bridge from the area around Rainforest to the area by Fultons.

I don't believe Cap'n Jack's will by surviving the transformation.

You're correct, The building is coming down to make way for the new bridge

It's temporary but everyone knows how Disney handles temporary things. IE Toontown was temporary for 23 years. We shall see on this.

The concept art shows Cap'n Jacks remaining, with the new bridge coming in where the existing boat dock is.

Adjustments are made all the time to plans that Disney makes. For Ex: NFL

Someone recently pointed out that in the Jeff Lange Video of that Disney Springs 3D concept board filmed at D23, Mannequins was there but 8trax and that former skate shop location were not there. But in the second half of his video, filmed when that same board was first released to the Press early this year, 8trax and the other building were there. Adjustments were made in just a few months.

Can somebody draw a map of where this bridge is going...the pictures aren't doing anything for telling me where it begins and ends.

The bridge is starting next to the current bridge from PI to West side, and will run along the shoreline of PI to the boat dock next to paradisio

Are those floating yellow things going to be the bridge?

Downtown Buena Vista Disney Springs Village Marketplace.

They follow the path that the bridge will run along, they're just there to keep any trash that falls in the water during construction from floating away and polluting the waterways.
