The "phases" came about when this project was supposed to take until 2021. Phase 1 was TSL. As that was wrapping up, they were going to start phase 2 (SWL). As that was wrapping up, they were going to move onto phase 3.

Now that they have compressed the timeline, phase 1 & 2 will happen simultaneously.

This may be completely out there but look at this. Remember how the Earful Tower is going away...

Notice Anything weirdly similar between the two water towers? Enough said.

It's probably cheaper and easier to build a new one than repurpose that one. How's that moving of the hat going?

Cheaper to just use the blueprints with the ears amputated.

Yeah, I prefer the Universal practice of releasing projects per year. That way we know what we are getting and when we are getting it.

Agreed, but to be fair, when it comes to Disney Springs they are building a ton of new buildings where Uni was just replacing places and building one or two buildings. So I don't know that Disney has tenants for all the places they are building right now. That project is huge, you have to see it in person to see how large scale the Disney Springs redo is.

As for the other projects going on. I don't think they have timelines yet. I think a lot of internal debate and fights are happening right now which is changing stuff every day. Ops is pretty upset and want things faster it seems. So I don't think they even know when stuff is going to occur.

Disney is a cluster right now. But I think when the dust settles it is going to be good for the park goer because I think they are finally realizing what Uni did and how it impacted them. They are finally realizing they have 3 parks that need serious help. 1 park will be mostly fixed next year but the other 2 are nowhere near being fixed as they are in worse shape than AK was.

I would argue DAK is in pretty good shape going forward as long as they don't go another 10 years without significant investment.

Agreed. That is why I said as of next year one of those would be fixed. As long as they do an addition every x amount of years we should be good. I fear they won't do anything for 10 years because of the other 2 parks needing so much help though. We will see.

I got a good laugh from the woman in the video. She has full make up on while she's performing a construction job. Yeah, sure. :lol:

Now that's my kind of video. And for the first time, the speakers aren't blowing smoke. Very informative!

Yeah! I thought she was maybe a exec or something touring the site for the filming but she gets right in there with the concrete.

Yeah, although they really are overemphasizing the whole story thing, but it was interesting to hear how much they researched.

Looks like Fulton's Crab House is gonna be getting a new look on the inside. The restaurant concept has already been said to stay for Disney Springs, so this is more likely just to upgrade an older restaurant.

Meh... Lots of places I won't shop at. Glad to see a burger place as I assume it will be counter which Disney Springs needs. Once I see actual write ups on the restaurants I might be a little more excited or not.

I agree, the stores aren't going to be a draw for me but understand that Im not the target demo they are looking for. I do like what they are doing as far as the new dining goes though
