I concur! Not Disney related, but I remember visiting my aunt and uncle in San Diego in '92 for the All Star Game. They took me to Horton Plaza among other places to share this "new" architecture that was revitalizing downtown. It is now demolished. I guess I'm getting old.
I would love to see the original pitch! The current version of the Swan and Dolphin are very toned down from their original iteration back when they opened...
Let’s hope the new build has dining. Capt. Cook’s is bursting at the seams.
For a second there I thought they were dismantling the Contemporary.
You mean Persian.
Yes!! I remember staying at the Contemporary when I was a kid, and they had a giant map of the resort mural on the wall... I was fascinated by the resorts that were "Coming Soon"...Persian, Venetian, and Asian...
It’s intended to run perpendicular to Aotearoa so that it creates a new courtyard between the tower, Aotearoa, Fiji, and Tuvalu surrounding the pool. It’s also one of the shorter sections and is already at max height minus the roof cap. They just have to add two floors to the section standing at four currently and the entirety of the building is basically there. Hope that means some finishing can start soonish.
Nothing says, “Polynesian” like Cancun!
