Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

Which, if we're being honest, was always better loved for nostalgic rather than aesthetic reasons.

I'd say a bit of both. I know a lot of people who never visited the Poly as kids or way back when, yet they still loved the feel of it. The sound of running water is known to be a soothing sound, and it actually makes the Poly feel like it's part of Hawaii, and not some knockoff, tiki-decorated Holiday Inn.

Grand Hyatt KAUAI...

Old Poly

And, while we're doing picture comparisons...

Hmmmmm looks like it is missing something.

Can't put my finger on it

The dug pit as of 3/16

Dig a deep pit in Florida and a whole lotta swamp water's gonna come right out.

In other BAH news, did anyone else notice the promo for Frozen Summer talks about the Event Stage, capitalised. They probably just mean the temporary one like last year, but could it be that the Event Stage is the official name for whatever is going in the BAH's spot?

Not to mention the gigantic production of mold and mildew. That will be missed... but it was pretty. All sarcasm and joking aside. It was a great fountain, but, not a great internal fountain. Outdoors it would have been great, just not indoors in my opinion.

Are the walls down now around the hat?? I am going in 13 days!

Went to HS today. There are still there.

Seriously, one can keep asking that question over and over and it isn't going to change the reality of the project and how long it will take to complete it. Just the nature of this topic, however, will make it an absolute that as soon as they are down it will be reported by someone almost immediately. Wanting it to happen faster will not make it so. Relax everyone.

The guy who designed and built the original outdoor water features was asked to help Disney come up with something at the last minute for the lobby. He tried to talk them out of the water part of it, and was surprised it lasted longer than a few years after he saw how they built it. He knew mold and mildew would be an issue from Day 1....and that it would be a maintenance nightmare indoors.

I asked on the Disney Parks Blog about what the stage configuration would be for Star Wars Weekends and Frozen Summer Fun and here is the response I got. "Although there will be some adjustments to the stage due to the new configuration in that area of the park, a temporary performance space will be used for both Star Wars Weekends and Frozen Summer Fun, as it has for previous special events."

Meaning the big nasty stage? At least they used the word temporary.

I'm hoping adjustments is code for no roof.

Depends... temporary as in 10 years, like the hat?

Meaning they don't have a clue. Disney, outwardly, has already admitted that the area will be called Center Stage. Other then that no plans have been officially released. Disney Parks Blog is not going to know the details anymore then I do and I'm just guessing... too!

Except they simply wouldn't have commented if they didn't know.
