Can't Find Downtown Disney Any Longer . . .

When you consider the sheer number of signs and maps in Walt Disney World, that is a BIG job.
 


I think that it will always be Downtown Disney to me. I still say MGM Studios. :)

Agreed.

I could care less what label they put on things in the swamp. Only the operation, Investment, and pricing.

The decay of EPCOT for the last 15 years took all concern of those "niceties" away from me.

Epcot is just...well...awful. I just say "do we have to?" when someone in my family wants to go. To me it's in its own category and that's without the Norway situation.
 
What a shame. The name "Downtown Disney" was more exciting. "Disney Springs" sounds like an old folks' home.

I get what you're saying. Disney Springs does sound more like a resort area, I suppose there are some negative connotations to "Downtown" anything. Maybe Disney thinks "Downtown" doesn't sound like a place you'd go on vacation, a lot of people go downtown to work. OTOH, downtown is a place that's sometimes too busy and hard to find a place to park. Maybe that is a more appropriate name. :earsboy:
 
The video I posted last week shows some of the new signage as well as the construction progress along Buena Vista Drive. :-)

 
Well you have Saratoga springs across the lake. Disney springs is supposed to be the old Florida town that formed around a "spring" then over time the town modernized.
One thing that really gets me about this whole thing, is them essentially trying to tie in Disney Springs with Saratoga Springs. What do the springs of New York along with the unique architecture and culture that built up along side it have in common with the Springs of Florida? That would be like building a waterfall from California and a waterfall from Mexico and saying that that themeing follows because there's waterfalls in both. The architecture may be radically different, but the waterfall ties them together.

They don't.


If they want to create continuity between Saratoga Springs and Disney Springs, I'm 100% in favor. This on the other hand is not continuity. It's awful branding.
