What's JT's response to this? Although he insisted that the Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty cottages were still coming months after it was announced they weren't happening.

It has been requested I cease and desist from making reference to the future of HW. I can respect that and will remain mum. Besides I have already answered every question anyone could possibly ask and voiced my opinion on every possibility.

Now time will tell. :wave:

Story is good, and today's attractions certainly bring it out in a way that you can understand relatively quickly. While we as Disney fans probably loved all the time and effort that went in to the stories of the early 90's the average guest (which is the overwhelming majortiy of visitors) wouldn't take the time to start thinking about what was going on. You would basically have needed an orientation session in order to understand what was going on at Pleasure Island when it's whole story was still in tact.

Absolutely right. I had completely forgotten the backstory to PI. Of course, DTD is something I go to on my first night in The World or before I leave for the airport, so PI never really grabbed my full attention anyway.

Have you actually heard something? Is there any real news?

Looks like they have literally put the breaks on to reexamine the direction. Why couldn't the pathway and lighting upgrades of Hyperion Warf be integrated with renovated clubs? I like that we can see the waterway now. I also don't see a reason to add back the separate admission gates, just treat each club / restaurant like its own entity, it will add dynamics to the street because it will allow people to walk past.

Not going to get my hopes up over this. Save Pleasure Island has a history of reporting wishful thinking. While I'd like to see their rumors come to fruition, I am fairly skeptical. One thing is for sure, though. Disney has screwed up royally with Pleasure Island/Downtown Disney since about 2000 on. One bad decision on top of another.

Such is the nature of rumors such as this one!

When it comes to Pleasure Island, Disney never did keep the public informed about what was going on. It's been imbedded in secrecy from the beginning. And even the few things they actually announced never have come true.

Many are hoping that the future does now include some reopens!

Truth. And even if it means outside investors resurrecting it, I think Disney would sooner see the slate wiped clean so they could finally move on.

You read my mind.

The level of detail also makes me think of the claim that the cult of story rose up under Eisner, where everything had to have an explicit history, as opposed to the decontextualized vignettes (HM, PotC) that defined imagineering in Walt's day.

Decontextualized vignettes, my sweet buttocks.

Literally put brakes on? Literally? They got brakes and put them on top of the plans or on the PI grounds themselves? Literally? I want to see this. I LITERALLY do not believe this.
