Wait for the Poly project to begin.

View attachment 34370 They're just too bland compared to the ornate detail of the 1988 buildings

Especially on such prime and first-impressions estate as facing Seven Seas. There again, the bendy bus stop encroachment on the lagoon doesn't do it any favours either:

Disney: We have no taste.

It's nice to see the Adventureland Veranda building looking all neat and pretty again, let's hope they now do something worthwhile with it

Thanks so much for posting the pics. I felt like i was there for a few minutes.

So, basically, instead of looking like the beautiful concept art that is on display everywhere

the park is, in-person, really more like

Dinosaurs... nice.

I rode Jungle Cruise today. They must have refurbed the skippers. The one I had was awesome. Went off script a lot and kept all of us laughing the whole way. I recorded it. Will post in the coming weeks after I get home. Can't say I noticed anything different in the ride but all looked good.

ummmmm is it me or does the GF DVC building look totally out of scale (place) for the resort? IMO it just looks like a huge white building with a red roof. If somebody is keeping score or even cares.....I hate it.

I couldn't agree more!! I've been saying this since they started building it! It's terrible.

The JC has some show quality issues that delayed opening (!) until 2pm.

I had FP+ for 4:10 on opening day. We were on very quickly, bypassing the 40 minute Stand-By line.

Can anyone tell me what is up with the water being red?!? Inspirational Falls was positively flowing pink, but the water in the river basin against the grey concrete appeared red.

BTW, we ended up going back to MK yesterday (October 2) for a few hours before our flight home, and JC was closed again. Compared to the previous Wednesday, the park felt really busy. 25 minute wait at PoC, up to 40 by the time we got off.

The colouring system for the water is still being.... tweaked. The falls is where it comes from.

Keep tweaking.
I was reminded of the scene in the Ten Commandments when Moses turned the Nile blood red. I kid you not.

Did it give you the inspiration to make cherry koolaid when you got home?

Your post reminded me of when Moses dropped the tablet containing commandments 11-15 and it broke.

I'm not sure I would say it's necessarily out of scale, since it, and all of the existing buildings, are full scale structures, but it is noticeably larger than the rest.

Freakin engineers think they know it all.........

Sorry if already posted...Micechat article with Jungle Cruise update.

"Lastly, this week the Jungle Cruise reopened after a lengthy refurbishment. I’ll let the photos do the majority of the talking, but it reminded me a whole lot of the recent Splash Mountain refurb. There were effects working that I either didn’t know existed or forgot about because it had been so long. Everything got a nice fresh coat of paint, and I was pretty happy with it."

Thank You so much for the pictures. It just makes me relax and smile of all the good times I have had there. I cannot wait to go back and I am quite sure my wife will be uppset with you for showing me pictures and making me wine at dinner tonight that we are not at WDW yet (LOL).
