Planet Hollywood unveils redesign for Disney Springs

[Next Big Thing]

This is an eye sore! It is as bad as that big pineapple by Gloria's place (if its still there)

It should look pretty nice when done. Right now it's more of an eye sore because it's very dated and VERY dirty at the same time.

Photo update as of Sunday, Jan 10. The spaceship over the front entrance is almost gone. The front doors are removed revealing the inside, with memorabilia removed earlier last week.

Shame they don't use that principle everywhere else!

that crew is not being paid by Disney... they are employed by:

• Keith Barish and Robert Earl (Founders)
• Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore andArnold Schwarzenegger(Investors)

Oh I didn't realize the PH founder founded Earl of Sandwich too. Cool trivia fact.

So, a guy named Earl worked with an Earl to found a place named for another Earl.

Another site is claiming the outdoor balcony overlooking the springs was cut from the plans.

That seems to be a pattern. First the High Line seating area, now this.

Balconies are an added bonus to any place... it's the easiest thing to cut if a budget needs to be cut.

The balcony got built at Morimoto and it seems as if one will be at STK too.

We'll be at Disney from 1st till may 20th.... any change we'll be able to experience 'the springs'? Even if the new shops and restaurants aren't open, it would be nice to just be able to walk around the town center/springs area.

Morimoto has a beautiful balcony......which gets no use.

I am assuming they are waiting until the view from the balcony improves, Hopefully by the summer the Town Center should be less of a building site!

It looks like the Coca-Cola building might have a rooftop deck area as well. So not a total loss for upper level eating/viewing space.

Probably, but the balcony is not covered so it will be miserably hot up there. Also, there are so many trees along the shoreline that it's actually difficult to see much of the springs from up there.

thats dumb, especially since almost everywhere thats being built has some type of outdoor seating which is a big change from the pre-disney springs days

That seems to be a pattern. First the High Line seating area, now this.

i can see why they cut the high line upper level due to safety/capacity/legal reasons

but seems silly to cut the balcony from planet hollywood

I assume this is the balcony people are talking about. It actually looks more like and observation deck then a balcony that is part of the restaurant seating area.

while that looks cool, i can see why they'd cut it

probably the same lawyers got involved here as did with the high line.

damn lawyers ruining all the fun

i thought we were talking about cutting the outside seating in the back on the second level overlooking the springs
