That night we went to Downtown Disney for some obligatory shopping (Sprit of 74 has just lost all respect for me...) Once Upon a Toy had two dump trucks on the sign that actually "dumped" with the backing up tone playing which I had never noticed before. Pleasure Island/Alcoholics passed fantasies/Hyperion Wharf/Land of 10,000 grassy areas is looking very stupid now. I hate that nothing has been announced and the stuff that HAS been announced, is a plot of sod...REALLY!?! One cool thing though, the heaters at Raglan Road, next time its cold, check them out! Harley-Davidson's new location looks crazy! They ripped out the walls, does anyone know why? Is it for this store, leaking/fire problem, or do they do this for every store? Anyway, looks like it will be a nice sized area. Counting down till Fork and Screen! Will be back tomorrow with EPCOT report, any thoughts would be appriciated!

On that same token, my guess is that with Hyperion Wharf Disney is attempting to take the loud garish designs that were so popular with festival marketplaces like Citywalk and DTD West Side in the 80s and 90s and continue the more sedate vibe of the old Village next door. If that's so then I applaud them.
