Riviera is such a poorly executed expectations lowering crapfest. It just sits there plopped in the middle of the Carribbean with no context or thought process. Compare that to Wilderness or AKL. You are right - it won’t sell out.

They need to double park experience capacity to even have a chance to match the room capacity they have/are building.

Suggestions:

Magic - the whole back of the resort is empty. You can’t even walk between big thunder and fantasyland back there. Focus on classic animated properties.

Epcot
Some progress. Suggest focusing on two new pavilions (suggest Basil and India) and adding an attraction to each pavilion. Tap the original planned ideas for places like Germany and Japan.

Also - get rid of Nemo overlay to aquarium - restore the facility to a real aquarium.

Animal Kingdom
They are about to make a significant bad decision. AK doesn’t need Indy, Zootopia, or Encanto lands. It needs new lands representing Australia, North America and South America with as much thought as they gave Africa and Asia.

Hollywood

Make Star Wars a winner - it’s not that hard. Add streetscape, droids, overhead craft coming and going. Reuse the hotel as part of Star Wars - not in space but on the ground. Stop pretending anyone cares about the last trilogy - use the original characters! Get the deferred restaurant built.

Expand the old Hollywood experience to more streets. Bring back streetmosphere. Close off Rock n Roller coaster from Sunset and attach to new lands behind it that connect back to Toy Story and focus on new Pixar attractions. Retheme rock n roller to the long rumored Monsters Inc door coaster.

This is just a start- ideas welcome.

I think you meant Brazil not basil which is a culinary herb.

I could see them resetting the Star cruiser as a specialty dining restaurant with transportation "to / from orbit". It would be fairly simple / affordable to do and be a fairly unique offering.

I think he meant a whole pavilion focusing on him:

IMO, the next phase of EPCOT needs to be the resolution of lingering problems. Circle back to plans (hopefully evolved) for Spaceship Earth, Wonders of Life, and Poppins; bite the bullet on the desperately needed Imagination re-imagination; follow through on Test Track; and refresh the interiors of The Land and The Seas. Also, for the love of God, clean up the appearance of the Cosmic Rewind box and Ratatouille backstage.

Then they should turn their attention to new things.

Is F&W still packed? Why would they focus on those things rather than what brings in the cash?
I doubt they suddenly jumped on the altruism bus to put making people happy over making money.

How about they just retheme Test Track in 2024 and then retheme Test Track in 2031 and call it a day?

The Polyday Inn looks just as bad from the Golf course side. What most are not considering is the lack of amenity infrastructure at the Polynesian to support these additional guests. Bus stop size, dining, and even bars are insufficient.

very true going to be a mess, the infrastructure can barely handle what they have now, but they dont think about these things anymore or care.

Just announced that this will be part of the existing PVB condo association.

When they announced the new association for cabins at FW I knew the writing was on the wall. This is really good for me having owner priority in the new building, but I think it's dumb for DVD. Unless of course they plan to shift a bunch of bungalow points over to the new building and rip everybody off. I was sure this would be a new association. Happy to be wrong though.

Well, I predicted this over a year ago. On another forum I was so ridiculed for my predictions, I quit it. I posted my opinion with 5 reasons. Instead of just disagreeing with my opinion, I was made out to be a village idiot. Too bad I quit the other forum, a good I told you so post is surely deserved. Oh well, not worth the effort to get back on.

Now to see what pricing will be on Polly tower versus cabins at four wilderness. Does Disney have any incentive to offer significant incentives for Polynesian will be part of the same association?

I guess we won’t reach grand Floridian fire sale numbers of the summer.
