    Notice no mention of Hyperion Wharf. These guys have no idea what they are doing. Incomepence in action. Or is it incompetence inaction.

    So after announcing all their great plans when pleasure island closed that never happened and and the awesome Hyperion Wharf that never happened, should we believe any of this new(er) plan?

    Maybe Spirit and EE can make a exploratory trip to the one in Miami.

    Doesn't that sentence sound like they suddenly found some archeological stuff in the ground during their site work? ;-)

    How do you find opportunities during the site work. Did some builders make such great suggestions that those now need to be looked at because no-one at Disney had ever thought of that??

    Yes, it does. I also find it interesting that on their website they post a dress code of "evening casual" - whatever that might be?

    I wouldn't expect to see something as nice as the HKDL entrance plaza fountains at DD ... but again, I am simply a clueless Spirit floating around the pixe dust clouds ...

    WOC is supposedly planned for the parking lot between Cirque and the lagoon, not PI.

    I think you are right though ... I believe the area I referenced near PI was labeled as 'Town Center' or something very close.

    Doesn't matter as I absolutely don't see Disney spending $$$ on something to draw guests out of its parks to see a fountain display/show in the middle of a shopping center gone bad.


    But who knows? Disney never ceases to surprise me with stupid decisions both creatively and financially.

    I don't recall 'Central Park' but that makes sense.

    I am sure Staggs will announce this at D23! ;-)
