Disney Springs Discussion

I think the half time show was a good advert with what can be done with drones.

If it wasn't almost 2am, us Brits could easily take over this forum for the next few hours.

I wonder if Intel thought of using Disney Springs as a test for the Super Bowl?

Every time I see outdoor seating I'm like "you realize this is Florida right...?"

90% of the time people are not going to want to sit out there even at night.

I'll happily sit outside but I come from a country that's constantly miserable weather so I'm going to enjoy the heat when I can.

Got to say I'm glad I stayed up for the game.

This was what I thought of too.

I do know that Disney wants to implement drones into Illuminations, but it was a good test place for Intel, too.

Odd, yet interesting:

Apparently Planet Hollywood isn't finished with their opening festivities yet.

Britney Spears will be at Planet Holly wood today (3/13) for a Grand Opening (even though I thought that already happened). Reese Witherspoon will be there today as well for a 6 PM ribbon cutting.

I love Britney so I thought about going but she was literally only outside for 2 minutes. Glad I didn't drive up the 3.5 hours.

To follow up from what I posted above. Britney likely was contractually obligated to do this due to her residency at the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.




And screaming fans...

Great promo for Planet Hollywood Observatory.

Looks like Brit had a great day with her family. Well who wouldn't at WDW.

The 3rd DS Parking Garage will begin construction next month. It will primarily be for CMs, located across the street from DS, between the Speedway and WDW Casting.

The Polite Pig opened Monday at DS. Personally I can't wait to try it. It looks like one of the best food offerings that's opened at DS during the entire expansion. It's fast-casual too, which is sorely needed in the Town Center. Unfortunately it seems to be getting some pretty mixed reviews.

Here's some pics and a review by Disney Food Blog:

I shall be taking a look when I am there in Oct, from the reviews I have seen the food looks tasty.

 

[Mr. EPCOT]
