Height balloons, this time between TTC and Contemporary

[IlikeDW]

Via Google+? If so, thank you. I was having computer issues last night and for some reason couldn't post comments to thank you.

Your welcome, the other photos in album were scuttles pics with the colors slightly enhanced.

I honestly believe it's a feasibility study for a resort there vs. the Poly way before I believe what you wrote above.

Time to eat crow?

just talked to someone who I trust, and in reality the aerial survey today was in regards to a project that will follow the floridian project... and NOT the transportation study that I orignally thought.

This project will make things more.... symmetrical near contemporary.


again.. This is R&D, not green-lit projects... Aerials were done in fantasyland nearly 5 years before FLE was announced. so don't expect to see back hoes soon..

Yes....I believe it's time to eat crow, or whatever you prefer.

Grow up.

...was a line spoken by the father in Horizons in Messe Verede that was removed during tests.

Just sayin.

Yes, this is bumping an old thread, but, it was referred to in another thread (the gondola one) and the area got... a wink!

Anyhoo... I re-created where the balloons were in Google Earth...

They seem to be about 18 m / 60 ft and 35 m / 115 ft in height.

I caught that too.

So, 6 and 11-12 storeys?

I suspect a fantasyland themed hotel could end up looking like the one being built in Tokyo

Needs to be pinker. With giant bows. And more glitters. And giant unicorns on top.

I guess the price of 150 foot piling s has come down.

They discovered that if you add pontoons and lash empty barrels to the bottom of piles, that when they eventually sink enough to reach the ocean, they stop sinking as they are now floating.

I would rather them add a third tower at the Contemporary. It would even things out over there.

I believe that something similar was used for the Milenium Tower in SF. That didn’t turn out too well...

I believe the current strategy for this land is a true five-star hotel to compete with the FS, which took away a bit too much of their luxury market share.

If that’s the case, I hope it has the exterior of a five-star resort. Totally down for Disney to attempt true luxury, even if I never stay there (the consensus seems to be GF never quite met that mark), but it would be nice if everyone could appreciate the hotel’s aesthetics, and not just the guests luxuriating on the inside.

While the recent towers and DVC resorts indicate no concern at all on that front, I’ll hold out hope for this one, especially considering its prominent location on the Seven Seas Lagoon.

Disney has never built a true luxury property. IMO, they've never come close or even outdone an average Marriott. I hope you're right, but I'm not sure they're capable of doing so.
