Is this really a thing or is it April 1ST? Cabanas in the parks.

[Kylo Ken]

Listened to @lentesta 's most recent disney dish podcast. In it he stated that there were black cabana tents up in DHS near the GMR area. Has anyone else seen these there? I was assuming that was not a correct assumption on his part and the only cabanas that I have seen discussed here are the white ones in TL.

I'm pretty sure those are for the Star Wars stage show. You can usually see the characters coming in and out of them.

I stand corrected.

According to the site that cannot be named, there's only 2 of these left standing. Maybe there is hope yet!

That's great news! I would be thrilled to to see the cabanas go away!

So have they gone away because they weren't ever rented out? Or is the test over and they're planning to build themed ones?

This is Florida. Without air conditioning they are overpriced sweat boxes.

Especially when it's in the 80's. I forgot about that. No wonder the tents weren't rented.

I have yet to see anyone actually inside them.

Maybe Disney should've advertised them as Saunas.

If I wanted to be in a sauna I would just wait in the standby queue for BTM. They really did a great job at simulating what life in a mine shaft would feel like... hot & sweaty.

How many cabanas used to be there?

Four. I'm heading back in a few hours, I'll confirm how many are still there in a bit unless someone can already do so.

My assumption is that since 2 are left, they didn't sell well and maybe there's one of the remaining days before the program ends that there's 2 rented out

There are still 4 tents. All are currently empty.

Damn, looks like the site that cannot be named is also the site that cannot be trusted lol

Well to be fair to the squabblers who shan't be named, just because there was a picture of two of the tents doesn't mean that was the sum total of them.

The back two are much more difficult to spot from ground level. Clear as day from the People Mover though.

Not that I found this to be a good idea but if the price point was around $350-$450 I bet they wouldn't have had a problem renting them out. It's like the after hours thing, they overprice it and then try again with a slightly (though really it's still overpriced) lower price point and then call it a success. Wonder if they'll drop the price or just drop them altogether?
