Interesting that the resorts such as this one, The Riviera, Grand Destino, even Reflections all had one concept art design and all were built (Reflections about almost lol)
vs Epcot overhaul over 4 concept changes, Beyond Big Thunder we might see who knows how many...!

Reflections had more than one concept design.

“Concept art” as a phrase is a misnomer. There are five phases of design: Blue Sky, Concept Design, Schematic Design, Detailed Design / Design Development, and Construction Documentation. Each phase involves more refinement and detail, and artwork is created and updated through all of the phases of design, and sometimes even after design. Despite being called “concept art”, published promotional art can and does come from any of the phases of design.
How this art is created has also expanded dramatically. It’s no longer a painter or illustrator just creating something to sell an idea. Digital production tools such as 3D modeling software means there is more and more a 3D mode serving as at least the underlying basis for the artwork. How designs are documented has also changed. “Blueprints” are no longer just flat, 2D images but instead derived from 3D digital models. The art for the recent hotel projects so closely matches the final product because it not only didn’t come from the concept design phase but also because it was renderings of the actual “blueprints” of the buildings.

I'm still disappointed that Luau Cove is gone. That dinner show was one of the major highlights of our 2019 trip.

At this rate it's quite possible and obvious that Universal Helios Grand Hotel will finish complete construction and open before Poly Inn Tower! Look at pictures side to side

They didn’t even clear the land for this until the summer of 2022.

I heard on Alicia Stella’s podcast that it’s possible Helios is behind in construction which is why they haven’t opened reservations up for it yet. She’s usually pretty spot on with universal news, so I’d wager she’s on to something.
Though whether or not that puts it on a later timeline than this poly addition, I’m not sure

She's not and love her! 5 years ago she was the one saying a Fantastic World's park was coming and her latest podcast they mentioned things they were right about! I don't care when either of these opens but aside anything else at Disney they sure are building this Poly one
on schedule in old Disney fashion!

Punctuation would help a lot here. I’m honestly not sure what your overall point is here.She's not and love her! 5 years ago she was the one saying a Fantastic World's park was coming and her latest podcast they mentioned things they were right about! I don't care when either of these opens but aside anything else at Disney they sure are building this Poly one
She’s not… what?

You must be new here. Don’t you know that nobody here ever waits for the finished product when there is an opportunity to loose their and bash what is currently being seen.

A quote would have helped but Alicia is not saying Helios is behind schedule

Alicia Stella is one to not be wrong, she's not wrong when it comes to her update on news information. Five years ago Alicia was on someone else's podcast as a guest and revealed mentioned that Universal would be and is working on a new theme park encompassing different world's known at the time under the name Fantastic World's.

The one thing you can’t complain that Disney builds too slowly are bland DVC hotel units.
Unfortunately.

Yeah, it's easy for them to slap these things together.
Easy to put in the low buck interiors too.

Do they have the right ppl for DVC hotel construction, because outside of that new attractions at Epcot are falling apart, broken, not functioning.. this makes wonder of Tianas.
