Disney Springs construction begins

[chiefs11]

The new overheads just re-enforce how large this project is... can't wait to see it all when it's completed.

Bridge at morimoto coming right along.

What's planned for this area in front of the 'entrance' to Disney Springs? I guess now it's used for construction? But are there any plans for this area in the future?

Correct, you can see part of it in the model...

yes, likely a copy of the bus stop setup at MK

Walkway around Raglan and Cooke now open.

This is good news. Both Raglan and cook's have been suffering during this walkway closure. This should also ease congestion in the new boathouse area as well.

I think the plans may have changed a bit however as they are installing footings in a long line where the loops should be.

For the monorail station, obviously.

Those would be for the roofs of the waiting areas.

What's up with all the ice machines?

I agree but the orientation is wrong as compared to the model. All I was saying is they changed the design.

I agree as well. Whatever they are, they went in in the last 2 weeks, as they aren't on the latest aerial imagery on nearmap from aug 5.

Yep, you are right, they don't match up with the model.

Doesn't the master plan show the bus loops running "parallel" to Disney Springs, as opposed to the "perpendicular" ones in the model? That would be consistent with what is apparently being built.

Yep, this looks more like what is being built.

What's going to be done with the Marketplace bus stop? Future expansion plot?

'Frozen' featurette

I'm gonna guess to fill big water jugs for construction worker drinking water...so they don't die of heat exhaustion.
