The view from across World Showcase today. The crane is massive.
The crane has an American flag on top, so you get this sort of juxtaposition when you're actually inside the pavilion.

New permit this week for the ride. The use of "Project M" is strange since that is the code name for Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway

Showsets already?

Probably to early for that, but sometime the permits on big projects come out well before the work actually begins.

I entirely defer to your expertise as I have none, but perhaps the address is wrong and project M is correct? MMRR is receiving show sets.

Both attractions are Project M. Remember the M is just the first letter of the project code name.

Damn.....that’s still earlier than expected for MMRR, could this thing open as early as spring of 2019?

This permit isn't for MMRR.

That's pretty big. Does anyone know whether it'll be go-away-green or will it actually be stylized on the outside?

If it's that visible across the lagoon they presumably can't just paint it an inconspicuous color. I guess they could still beef up the vegetation around the building to hide it.

The building will be the sides of a show building.

Thanks - I thought it was going to be a snow-cone machine. /sarcasm
Show buildings of this size and scale are traditionally hidden from guest view. HM is tucked in a wooded corner with a facade, GotG is going to be off in the parking lot, Dinosaur is ramped up towards with the show building a floor below guests. Even soarin' is painted blue in an attempt to prevent you from actively noticing it.
My question was about which attempt Disney would use for this one - paint it green/blue to hide in the sky/foliage? Or erect a facade to make it fit in well.
I wouldn't put it past them, unfortunately, to just paint it green. IJA's show building in Disneyland is clearly visible as you approach the park from the west side, just a giant green brick with a wavy roof. Though there is an argument to be made about in-park/out-of-park views.
I'd love for there to be a facade, but then I'd also love for them to do a mini-pavillion in the rest of the space left. I doubt France will expand all the way to morroco from the outside, so I have no idea what the facade would be though.

Paint and some landscaping, but that probably wont be enough to keep it from looming above Morocco.
