The Edison--details announced

[WDWtraveler]

Photo update as of Friday, October 21. Here is a view of the construction under the bridge leading to the lower level of The Edison. This is behind the construction wall at the waterfall staircase next to STK. The sidewalk leads from the existing lower level of the waterfall. Note the rebar extensions on both sides of the sidewalk. I wouldn't be surprised if they added a cover over the sidewalk to prevent being hit by objects dropped by people on the bridge above. On the opposite side of the bridge, the concrete pavement can be seen leading to the lower level of The Edison.

The below photo is from the same location, but shifted to the right, to show the round steel structure at this level. The decorative railing in the right foreground is the existing railing for the staircase at the waterfall, leading to the upper level. This railing is behind the construction wall, held in place by the concrete blocks on the right. Plenty of electrical and plumbing infrastructure in the ground here, so there will probably be some sort of operation to be located here.

The suspense is killing me. I hope it'll last!

Could it be that the round structure is the entrance to the neverland tunnels????

Photo update as of Thursday, Nov. 17. Nothing significantly new underground since I posted photos on Oct 21. Seems work is concentrated on the upper structure lately. I only update or post photos when something new is apparent.

Finally, it's starting to look like something. This project is taking forever no matter from what perspective you look at it from.

Has anything more happened with the Walt's space?

 

[pajammies]

When is this suppose to open? The original article says 2016, I can't imagine that's correct anymore. I thought I read somewhere and now I can't find it

I think it's supposed to be Spring 2017 now. 2016 definitely isn't happening.

Spring 2017 is what is advertised on the walls

The building is being created as in the artwork. I was able to start making out details today. Don't know if they have a tenant but they are definitely completing the exterior.

Good to hear that construction is moving again on it.

I hope Walt's and the Neverland Tunnels will still get built...

Someone posted on Save Pleasure Island that Walt's is going to instead be Wolfgang Puck's CUT.

So another top shelf steakhouse.

How is STK doing?

Someone posted on Save Pleasure Island that Walt's is going to instead be Wolfgang Puck's CUT.

Here is the actual quote...

"Wolfgang has a new restaurant coming to Disney Springs called CUT, he has directly said this in a conversation I overheard. I imagine it's what they are building next to the Edison and across from STK."

 

[Mouse Detective]

So another top shelf steakhouse.

Seems more likely they'd redo the existing Wolfgang Pucks before they opened something new. And I find it hard to believe they'd allow a second top shelf steakhouse right across from the other.

 

[Kman101]

Yeah, why would they put two steakhouses across from each other? Wolfgang already has a restaurant so why not makeover that one into something more modern and less like something out of the 90s? (Although I believe it sort of has been updated). I'd imagine the area by House of Blues, where Bongos and Wolfgang and DQ are is the next prime area for redevelopment to better fit in with Disney Springs.

and the exisiting Wolfgang Puck on west side has ugly 90s decor, the marketplace express has been updated more recently. So yes I agree, the westside Pucks needs fixing. My guess would be the CUT concept replaces the upstairs Dining Room.
