Yeah, I wasn't expecting to get a full list of vendors (they will probably still be finding some up to near opening), but I'm hoping for more than 1-5 - we really need a good amount of vendors announced (20? 30? I don't actually know how many new stores there will be - we can hope for more than 50% to be announced, but not actually expect it...)

I understand that some vendors wish to announce things closer to their opening, so we may not hear about some of them, even though they are actually signed up.
Sadly until they fix the real problems in the parks it wont be anywhere near.
This, however, will hopefully be enough to fix the mess of Westside and Pleasure Island. If more shops and eateries float your boat.

Strangely whenever I see your avatar I think of wdw74. It looks exactly like I picture him. (When he is sober which I doubt he is right now.)
My entrance music choice is "Eye of the Tiger".

Is wdw74 Jack Shephard from LOST?

It wasn't Millenia--nothing in central Florida was--but it was actually pretty nice at the time Disney sold it. Jungle Jim's was still a respectable local chain (sigh, RIP Jimmy), and that TGI Fridays was one of the new flagships/model stores for the company when it opened.
Malls are like nightclubs, they have a limited shelf life and need regular refreshing. What's hot today will be passe in 3 years.

So another site has some leaked concept art...I'm not going to post the site, wouldn't be fair to WDWmagic but its out there.
I feel this whole Disney Springs concept is reminiscent of the plans they had for the Burbank Disney-MGM Studios Backlot back in the late 80's. Shopping/entertainment with a water-centric theme.

I love how that site complains and whines about wdwmagic apparently stealing their artwork and stories without crediting them and then they post on their twitter feed about the story Steve broke in regards to the plans being announced today without crediting him as the source.
Pot, meet kettle.

They need to rebuild WOL and move the festival stuff into the Oddysey.

If memory serves me correct the Cheesecake Factory operated a cafe in Disney Quest - don't know if they still do though...

Cheesecake Factory is fine I guess but it's just beyond me why anyone would fly to a resort for a vacation far from their home and go to a place you can eat at in most malls.
It's like the Olive Garden in Times Square. You're in the city that perfected Italian-American food! It's everywhere!
OLIVE GARDEN?

Homeskillet's a piece of work.
Yes, they did, and not anymore. Or at least, a miniature cafe esque version of it.
