Have they started construction on the Cabana Bay Bridge yet?

There was a sign on the street near Cabana Bay saying road work is starting 2/4. Don't know if that's for the bridge or not, but worth mentioning.

It is. The bridge construction starts next week. It should go up quickly.

Thanks for the pic and info, BriMan! :thumbs:

So, I guess that means that construction of the new guest walkway along the Hollywood Way will begin soon as well?

Wonder if they'll have some sort of Team Member preview before opening?

That is really great! All those new jobs they are offering and with great benefits, as well! Very nice!

Awesome, now where can I sign up for a green card :smiley:

I wonder if the positions available to apply for online are the only job types available, or if they will be interviewing for additional positions at the actual event?

They need you to do the application online ahead of time. Doing that triggers a number of things. It puts you in their system, it triggers a background check and records your approval to run one, it puts you through a personality test to determine if they want to hire you, it uses your work history to determine if you meet their minimum standards.

Most likely the jobs listed are the departments that will be providing management to interview, so while they will be looking to fill those spots if someone fits another open role in that department better they could be offered another spot.

That looks gorgeous! It really looks like the hotel pool from that episode of Mad Men where they go to California - and that's a pretty ringing endorsement if you've captured a look and time period as well as Mad Men does. This place is going to be really popular.

Can't wait to see first footage of the water slide.

Thanks for posting the pic, Gambit! That looks awesome, although I think I'm gonna wait to book my stay after the lazy river side opens :thumbs:

Are the signs on the roofs the names of the various buildings?

that seems to be the case, Im thinking. Just based off of these two pictures, one building "castaway" the other "thunderbird". Kinda funky

I am dying to stay here. I can't deal. Gotta do two stays though: one pre-lazy river, one post.

I believe the 3rd one is called "Starlight."
