I don't remember calling for you to be banned... (Methinks the poster doth protest too much.)
The writing style is just very familiar. I've got my theory as to why that is.
But hey, have fun!

If you're saying that Disney won't build what is in the concept art, and instead will just let existing companies take over the empty PI buildings, then you're basically confirming the gist of the Save PI story is correct?

Are you thinking it is me? Because if so you are wrong again. I agree with the new poster though.
Please sweep up your credibility, perhaps you can glue it back together.
It's funny how the new guy left and you came back. Why don't we ever see Clark and Superman at the same time, I wonder?
Don't really care one way or another. Have fun, jt.

You can see in the renderings that Disney never intended to tear down all the buildings but rather repurpose about half of them. Nothing new about that.

When they knock down the AC and BET, we already know what is replacing these buildings. SEED & MULCH. I am sorry to disappoint you, but Hyperian Wharf is the rumor.

Seriously, we are not the same person. Never heard of the person nor have we spoken. Perhaps it is you and the "new" person will suddenly "see the light" and start agreeing with you. We can play this game all day. :drevil:

Right. Next you will tell us there was never a press conference announcing HW or stories all over the media.

JT04...For the record, can I get you to state your exact position regarding alcohol? Are you just against clubs or alcohol consumption in general? Do you believe that alcohol should be as illegal as marijuana? Or is it just that you believe that Disney is family oriented and therefore alcohol has no place there? What is your basis for your disdain of clubs? Please don't take this as an attack. I truly want to understand your position on this subject. :wave:
Hang on. jt logged out and logged back in under his newly banned ID. I'm sure jt will be back any minute though.
Funny, they had both for Flamingo Crossing too......

I don't have enough hard info to really confirm or deny that, but when I read it, I said to myself "well, that sorta makes sense based on what I heard".
Really, it's fuzzy. I think they are in the middle of some decision making, and that's why we really don't know. I know that what I learned is that it can go one way or another. That's not much info, but at least it's a peek into the process.
Anyone that says "it's going this way" or "it's going that way", either has more info than I do, or is makin' stuff up. As far as I know, the decisions haven't been made.

Who are you saying is their core audience? How many children to do you think enjoy eating at fancy restaurants and doing mall shopping while at WDW? Seriously....

That is strange. I seem to remember a HUGE press event announcing the FLE including Cinderella's Chateu. Lots of concept art, and tons of stories all over the media. Hmm....I guess we can't use old press releases and concept art as evidence anymore. How about we use our eyes, and the actual permits filed. That should give us a better idea of what is happening.

Or that FLE was never changed from the original announcement ...

Or, to go even further back... When Israel was announced as a country in world showcase... Signs even went up in the area it was supposed to occupy.
Disney has had press releases and conferences and announced a number of projects that never happen (Disney's America, anyone?), going way back. How about details of the Little Mermaid ride that was to be built in DLP that was put out on the Little Mermaid DVD?? I even seem to recall a certain Walt Disney telling the entire country on TV about his new project... E.P.C.O.T.
To say HW WILL be built just because some suit said so in a press conference and he showed a few pictures is pretty funny.
What's next, someone's going to say they're actually going to put high speed rail in Central Florida?? :lol: :lookaroun
The likely scenario here is that Disney decided to announce HW and show some pictures to see what sort of commitments they could get from 3rd parties to occupy space. A "test balloon", if you will. They most likely had a requirement for a certain percentage of the planned space to be spoken for in order to pull the trigger. If they hit the percentage, they start construction. If they don't, they don't. The casual observer doesn't even notice, so no harm done if they don't build.
The reason this makes sense is... TDO doesn't do ANYTHING these days without a guaranteed ROI. It's common sense that they sat in a room and figured out the easiest way to do something with PI that would allow someone else to basically foot the bill for construction.
It seems fairly obvious that they didn't get commitments from tenants like they thought they would. Hence, no movement. What makes the most sense in TDO's eyes if they can't get someone to foot the bill for HW? Task the sales force with filling the remaining buildings, so they're repurposed, and not on TDO's tab. Get commitments for those builidings, and see what happens before doing much else.
The simplest answer is usually the correct one. I don't mean the the correct thing to DO... Just that it's most likely what they're doing.
Didn't you hear? High speed rail in central Florida is a definite.Or, to go even further back... When Israel was announced as a country in world showcase... Signs even went up in the area it was supposed to occupy.
