Disney Springs construction begins

[WDWtraveler]

Additional Disney Springs Concept Art. There are some new posters on the construction walls in the newly opened walkway behind Raglan Road to Portobello's. The first pictures show some interesting details of The Hangar. The building on the left is the existing Paradiso 37, with the sign barely readable.

Disney Springs construction update as of Monday, Nov 3, 2014. With the new walkway opening behind Raglan Road, the original walkway on the "front side" of Raglan Road is now closed. The first picture is just to the right of the main entrance to Raglan Road, the gift store. The second picture is the view from Fulton's Crab House towards the shops on the side of Raglan Road. No venues are closed. The enclosed walkway allows the side bar of Raglan Road to expand into the area with tables and chairs.

Disney Springs construction update, photos as of Monday, Nov 3, 2014. With the new walkway behind Raglan Road, the construction wall across the street from Raglan Road leading to Paradiso 37 was expanded into the existing street to continue work in that area. The ramps continue to the temporary bridge over the lake that was built last year to permit access to West Side.

A view "over the wall" next to the ramps.

Shorter. Why would they relocate it left or right? It's part of a Signaled intersection.

I know it won't ruin it, unless they cut out all of the foliage. What I should've done a better job of explaining is how nice I think the entrance is, and is something thats overlooked.

I have to imagine they will just be relocating the elements further back.

That's against the rules of this forum.

LOL true true. Complain first ask questions later is the mantra.

Disney Springs construction photo update (from ground level ) as of Friday, Nov 7, 2014.

A pier platform/deck is taking shape on the waterfront across from the Co-Op. This will hide the conduit and concrete walls along the waterfront. Probably similar to the one in the background where the Pearl kiosk is now located, allowing more walking space in the Marketplace sidewalks.

All vegetation is being removed from the original canal/river between T-Rex Café and Raglan Road, to re-route and landscape the new Springs water course. The palm tree in the background is lying on its side.

A new wooden railing with a stand-up drink ledge is being installed along the side of Paradiso 37 that overlooks the new "street."

The Hangar is going vertical. The structure on top of the wooden deck is being installed.

Finally, a lot of noise and work going on at the West Side Food Truck Park, but visually can't tell what it is. At the other end of the structure, outside of the fence in front of Bongos, the pavement was dug up for about 50 feet and covered with a temporary walkway. Probably to connect utilities.

Still shocked at how slow that little food truck area is moving compared to everything else going on at DS. Also, not sure why I thought those waterways were a little deeper... haha

Sure would hate to stay at Saratoga Springs right now.

They still have a ways to go too. They need to add stairs and the elevator for access to the top of the highline.

Looks like Planet Hollywood went dry ( No more water)

The model doesn't show any water around it when everything is done.

Food Truck area will open prior to any of that.

Is it still even going to be Planet Hollywood? I thought it was going to be called something like "The Observatory" or something.

That's what is rumored. I believe it will be run by the same company, but get a new name and theme.
