New Hilton Hotel construction seen in Epcot

[brubuc]

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but when I was at Epcot last week I could see the new Hilton Hotel that’s being constructed behind the Italy Pavilion when I was standing in Canada. Perhaps they’ll have to build a new section/facade in Italy to hide the Hilton from inside Epcot; especially if the Hilton sign is seen.

Let's hope so. That certainly would not look good.

Maybe they won't put the sign on that side of it? It could just be in the background like the S&D?:lookaroun

You can still see Soarin's building from WS.... thats still an eyesore... no matter what color they paint it.

One has to suspend reality to a certain extent when at WDW; you can't have everything handed to you on silver platter.

You know that your not really in Germany, but if you suspend your disbelief for a moment, it can be very entertaining.

I don't think that a Hilton sign nor a building housing an attraction in a different part of the park should be an issue on the entertainment value of Epcot.

True!...But it doesn't have a glaring red HILTON sign on it.:zipit:

Certainly wouldn't look pretty though.:lol:

Oh I agree... I dont let it bother me. I was just stating.. that Disney really didnt do much to hide Soarin's hangar. :shrug:

Now if it looked like Vegas behind WS... then I might have an issue. :lol:

Right...But even a huge glaring sign would look horrible. At least the S&D and even Soarin are just buildings. They don;t have any light feature or sign.:shrug:

This has the potential to be aesthetically disastrous...

Do we even know if a big lit "H" or Hilton sign will be facing WS? :shrug:
