I wonder if Disney has any plans for escape rooms in the Springs area now that Uni has announced 2 for Citywalk. A Star Wars or Alien escape room would be awesome IMO.
There was a poll from a while ago that asked about escape/challenge rooms, and family camps, and massive interactive installations like Meow Wolf. But that was all pre-pandemic.

Insiders indicated escape/challenge rooms were being investigated, but then dropped. Haven't heard anything since then.

Of course, the Halcyon is sorta in that territory...

The expansion should bring back the Adventure's Club. The gimping of the candy cauldron sign, the new warehouse look of world of Disney, and overall the fact that Disney Springs looks like a strip mall really makes me feel like DS just isn't special anymore.

Disney Springs, in all it’s incarnations, has always looked like a strip mall. You’re being willfully ignorant if you believe the previous Downtown Disney was anything spectacular. It was a literal dump. The remodel is one of the best things to happen outside of the parks in the last decade.

The Lake Buena Vista shopping village.. ill even go as far to say the Walt Disney Workd village that followed never looked like a strip mall. They were unique in its offerings and a beautiful area. It went downhill after that in the 90’s and 2000’s. The latest update, i agree is the best thing to happen to that are in the ladt 25-30 years.

Makes sense. I'm only 30, so my experiences growing up were the abysmal Downtown Disney; though my parents loved PI.

It’s simple it started to look outdated like a lot of things from that time period.

I mean have you seen DL’s Downtown Disney ?

They are finally updating it when it clearly needed help a long time ago.

So personally to me Disney Springs was a well thought out project.

Wasn't blue man group killed more by the pandemic than not selling? It can't have been that expensive to run. Shouldn't Disney or universal be able to fill shows plenty well by offering package discounts that are still profitable? Additional things like shows are an oppertunity to extend stays too. I feel like Disney in particular has insane expectations of how much they need to make on anything.

It's sad to hear reports that they aren't offering last minute discounts on drawn to life. I'm sure Chapek approves.

While a good thematic fit in some ways, I would prefer it be at one of the resorts or Disney Springs so it is more accessible and not controlled by park hours etc. Boardwalk has Atlantic Dance Hall just sitting there waiting for it... Just sayin'
Disney Springs is probably the best place so that non-guests can go also. If it was guest only the attendance could be low.

Have they fixed transportation to/from Boardwalk yet? Last time I went to ADH/JR it was a pain to get there via bus.
