Some of these boys have never driven from Flemington to Paramus on 202 and it shows.…said by “Jersey Jughandles.”

Worked in Flemington for a few years.
OTOH, it was culture shock moving to FL where you can basically bang a U-turn anywhere you find a space or patch of grass.

The new building(s) will be called:
Intellectual Properties.

A hot topic for the right reasons (e.g., Asian themed resort is finally built) or wrong reasons (e.g., a practically perfect piece of land is used for the shoehorning of a more timeless, more relevant, more family, more Disney IP-driven resort)?
No, they pulled their own image from the permit. This is not the first time that this has happened so I have started to mark the image so I know when people take mine.
Bob graduated to designing resorts I see.

Those are stupid too…but the reason there is somewhat valid.…said by “Jersey Jughandles.”
when you have higher volume…you don’t want cross traffic turns or center lanes that can clog back into the flow.
like the horrific turning lanes off 535 near crossroads.
But we had circles too…you see some in housing developments now.
but the ones on public roads have been replaced where possible

That concept art is from 1971 for the proposed Venetian Resort.

Whatever it is, hopefully it's better then the "buy one, get one" Riviera special. For a location like this, I expect nothing short of WL, GF, or AKL in terms of detail. If they can't commit to a theme, it better be architecturally interesting like the Contemporary.

The GF is, itself, short of WL and AKL as far as I'm concerned.

People in Connecticut are all so optimistic…

good morning, Rip…
Where have you been these last 16 years?
It was more of a template for what was to come. As was caribbean.
what were the first two hotels ever constructed by Eisner/wells?
the prosecution rests.
and they had John stamos play the bongos in a pink tank top before it opened to gin up business too! Brilliant.

Interesting. Maybe they decided to move reflections resort to that location

I won't disagree there. But there's still quite a bit of effort there at least. WL and AKL are my personal benchmarks.
I don't even know what to expect from them anymore. Disappointment I guess.

I, too, expect to be disappointed. The Riviera is a Marriott with mansard roof elements, Gran Destino belongs on the Vegas strip, and Reflections gave me Staybridge Suite vibes.
It would be nice if someone, somewhere within the company thought to push for a Liberty Square or Fantasyland themed resort.

Gran Destino has the third or fourth* best lobby on WDW property, as far as I'm concerned.
*After Jambo, Wilderness Lodge, and maybe Yacht Club.
The currently empty space is called: Chapek's Intellectual Properties
(Is that good enough for our anti-Chapek world?)
