Photo update as of Saturday, October 8. An updated construction photo showing walls for the structure. Plywood window coverings still attached one day after hurricane Matthew passed through.

Unlike you, I'm not a precog who predicted everything at WDW five years in advance. Hence my apprehension at what will become of the boat they named after me.

I saw her in her skeleton shape earlier this month. Well last month, how time flies! Now she's slowly being rebuild. After all this time I'm still not used to the new modern look, still not after having seen Disney Springs. Restoring the smoke stacks and wheel etc counts for something, certainly. But a paddleboat shouldn't look like it was converted by a provincial interior designer to resemble a 2011 big city bar. It should look classic, vintage, restored.
Surely they're joking? Somebody please tell me these railings are for construction purposes and will be replaced?A new "screen" railing is being installed on all levels. Here you can see it surrounding the aft part of the ship, on the third deck.

Yeah those days are long gone...@5^&*!
Now I was never on the Empress Lilly back in the day, but are not those some sort of fencing like railings behind the fancy scroll work facade? Almost looks like standard chain link with a red railing.@5^&*!

Could they be planning the same sort of thing here?
Eww. I forgot about that image, or perhaps my mind forced it out of my head. I like the smoke stacks, but hate the bland look.Probably not, since the concept art shows they are going for a much more modern look...

Photo update as of Wednesday, Nov. 9. External panels being applied to second deck stern of ship. This paneling is going on fast, so the ship will have the concept "look" very soon. Painting yet to come.

I was just thinking this. I hope they were not scraped to save budget.Still no sign of a paddle wheel or smokestacks.
