Such weasel-words are not allowed. You must choose: boat or ship.

But is a boat a ship? Or is a ship a boat? Or both? Or neither?

Ships can carry boats but boats can't carry ships. I go by the Navy definition of each...

you left out barges such as the ones the water pageant light displays are towed around on.

A new resort with a monorail stop would require a very creative design. The resort would be on the side of the express beam so the resort loading would require access somewhat similar to the Contemporary. However, given the location of the beam, the loading area may be over water which would create a new set of hurdles when it comes to construction. Of course, there are two other options. One would be to move the resort beam to the outside loop. The other would be to demolish part of the beams and re-route over land. If that happened, obviously the monorails would close for a period of time, requiring another alternative to get to MK. I know that last option seems a little far fetched and costly, but it did seem that there may have been at least one person alluding to the fact the monorail could be closed for some period of time.

Not so. Put it on the EPCOT loop.

That parade just brings a smile to my face every time we see it. What a blast from the past!

There were two permits today for "general construction" at the addresses of the swing bridge and the fixed bridge near the GF. Permits have an expiration of 9/30/2021.

A fun look back at a 1994 brochure for Walk Around the World.

I didn't realize how long the intended path was:

Safe to say this project won't be done until next year now with construction stopped.

Although doing nothing was about as fast as they were building it before things were shut down.

My in-laws did this. They had a pretty good spot near the MK entrance but it's since been obliterated by everything they've done.

They do still have the 'show' replica they got though, and it's at their house. Last trip down we bought them one of the current replicas they have to reflect a big family trip we took down all together for Thanksgiving in November. Basically they custom-'print' them now--it's a lesser quality as you can't put it outside though. It does look nice.

Thought someone reported they are still working in the fixed bridge area not too many days ago?

The trail to Wilderness Lodge is interesting. Here is my attempt at an overlay of that path.

Could Disney fast track this project to help with social distancing for guests staying at the Poly and GF?

I was thinking the same thing!

Just saw a video from yesterday (6/2) of work resuming on the site of the swing bridge. Hopefully work on larger projects will resume soon.

Are you able to give details of the video? A link or description to find it. I would be interested to view. Thank you

I have always thought it would be cool to be able to walk completely around the Seven Seas Lagoon..from the TTC and back. Extending a walkway from the Contemporary to the TTC would be the last part once the bridge is complete.

I agree. Would be a great idea to be able to walk all the way around.
