Can anyone blame them really? Florida is horribly hot, humid, and it turns into a mini typhoon once a day in the summer.

Disney should have built a proper arcade. That or cover main street like Tokyo.

Covering it won't help the clogged artery known as Main Street USA at closing. Plus any covering would have to be either hurricane-proof or fully retractable and secured for hurricanes.

Everything they build is hurricane resistant. case in point.

Less shelf space = less inventory required (plus the possibility of people buying things because of FOMO?). Multiplied by 100 retail spaces around the property. Or something like that, I'm guessing?

Yep, nothing to really go in there for anymore, looks barren.

The CommuniCore buildings are steel, not concrete.

I stand corrected. After doing some digging, I thought I remembered seeing a concrete component to the buildings but I was incorrect.
