I am starting to wonder if everything is being halted again for review like happened a couple years ago when everything seemed to stop. Even the pace of BatB and LM seems to have slowed.
I am wondering just what the management changes actually mean for the pace and scope of future projects. There could be a major reevaluation of everything underway. Strange because we are only weeks away from D23.

I dont see that work has slowed on BATB or LM. Possibly the old Skyway... but they may have just let the demolition contract.

I don't know but I am also considering Hyperion Wharf, the new stuff people were talking about for Adventureland that is not happening, the change in monorail service, canceled shows, and lack of construction walls for the most part except for the MK.

Hopefully they get moving on this. Seems like you can see a construction wall from any point in the back half of the park. NOT that I'm complaining that they are expanding, just wish some of it would wrap up so I can experience it.
I completely agree. Its really awesome that Disney is expanding and doing some new things, but it kind of takes away some of the appeal if big chunks of the park are surrounded by refurb walls. But hopefully soon we will be able to experience this stuff.

So what's the current status? Surely there's new news to convey a month post-demolition?? Let's have it
Well anyone have pictures?

As promised, here is a rendered plan of the proposed Skyway changes - one with labels, one without:
Gee...the men's restroom building sure is alot smaller than the women's building.
:lol:
Picture this at Epcot @ the American pavillion about 7pm...
On New Year's Eve, the wait for the men's room was around 7 minutes - the women's was almost 35 minutes!!
TRUE story!!

It's because women have to apply makeup and perfume because - they are ugly and smell bad! :lol:
Thanks for the layout image I wasn't exactly sure how it was going to look! :wave:

We literally did an entire study in gender issues in restroom design for my architecture program two years ago :lol:. The conclusions really did come down to the greater number of uses women tend to place in restrooms, and one of the solutions many designers have decided to approach recently is to give women an according amount of increased space.

Ok that one is new to me. So what other bodily function do women have that I did not learn about in biology or anatomy class? :ROFLOL:
I was always told that it breaks down to the simple math that it takes more room to sit rather than stand.

That's part of it too... and the process just takes longer. :lookaroun

Let's not forget all the moms (why don't Dad's ever take them in?) Do you know how much longer it takes when you have one or more children along with you? Everything takes so much longer. It wasn't too many years ago I would have to be in those little stalls together with my child putting my hand near the sensor trying to convince her the toilet wouldn't flush on her and she could go safely. Then trying to hand her the toilet paper with the other hand while in the same position. Often I failed :ROFLOL:

Couple things...lots of Dad's take the kids in the restrooms. I see a few Dads with kids every time I use a restroom or take my son. From listening to the kids, I hear a lot of them say "No, I want to go with Mommy."
Also, a tip for the taking your kids to the restroom to speed up the toilet process and make them more comfortable.... Keep a package of the 3M sticky notes handy. You can put one over the flush sensor in a vast majority of the restrooms, so it won't flush until you remove it. Makes the kids happier and life is easier. :wave:

not a bodily function, but checking hair, makeup, talking about us guys when we're not there, etc.

You must think something of yourself if you think we're talking about you in the restrooms! :animwink:
Seriously, I'm not in the bathroom discussing my husband but I usually do have kids in tow and it takes a while to do the whole process. Plus, there's hair to fix (including my daughter's), faces to wash or refresh from sweating, quick reapply of the spf lipgloss and then we're out of there! I have seen a lot of women reapplying makeup in the washrooms. I'm a pretty low maintenance gal so I'm glad I can skip the makeup step of the process!

Can't Believe It
I can't believe that this thread has become a discussion of men and women's bathroom habits. I was really hoping this was new news about the old skyway station area. Turns out it's just "Toilet Talk."

I've seen worst thread drifts around these parts. But really there's no new news on the Skyway redesign... besides for the some walls going up - that's about it! Might as well talk about bathrooms...! :lookaroun
