Bay lake isn't that impressive...if we're honest...why would they need to replicate it exaclty?

I'm not saying they do but it's what I picture them building. Irregardless i see them making another 15 story building which will render the original tower views irrelevant. Just convert some tower rooms honestly....

That could be as well.

But one if the "positive" things coming from the growing anger about Disney pricing out its loyal fans and disregarding them is I hope people get over the stupid views.

Views are not worth $400 a night...and that's what you get charged for them at a minimum. Hopefully that bs house of cards starts to fall
Too

Does the tiger-thing have anyone else worried about the use of projections in the ride? I know there's the one animatronic for sure, but that looks like it'll be a projection to me. Thoughts?

I doubt it will be as screen heavy as our friends up the highway would of liked. Although if you pause it at 0:08, there's clearly a screen on the left hand wall there.

I was lucky enough to get a TPV in the main tower during my CP. I split it with friends, it came out to $90 each with our discount. I think it was worth it for one night, especially because we spend a lot of time in the room and didn't feel pressured to go the parks. It was a once-in-a-lifetime thing for us, as we would never be able to afford it without the discounted rate.
I wouldn't spend upwards of $700 on a hotel room, but I get why people with money do it.

Seems pretty unlikely, but Rivers of Light did just open ...

that is a fair point! I guess I am thinking more ride based. It also occurred to me yesterday how Treasure Planet could fit into Tomorrowland which would literally never happen so clearly my ideas are pretty far fetched haha.

Nice. We choose better views if available on any trip actually, not just WDW.

Just more immersive to the point of the exercise for us.

Then again, we went for the view in our home as well in my sig.

We like BLT for the short walk back and forth to MK, but may as well take the view as well.

The balcony is fun as well, with all MK sounds and watching it all come to life and go to sleep.

I don't know how I could NOT have known about this....are there other "alternate" entrances to parks I don't know about????

Through the rainforest cafe gift shop for AK. At Epcot there is an entire side (left) that is only used by the parking lot, so it's generally significantly shorter.

MK is moving some security around, so who knows now.

I am in total agreement with this POV.

If only they could move with equal zeal on in-park projects. Imagine what they could do! Who knows, this company might have the capacity to build an entire park in 12-13 months.

Hotels are not unique structures. In fact, they are pretty basic in that they usually are made up of identical rectangular boxes. You could go to any city in the country and find a construction company that can build a hotel. And, local building inspectors would know exactly what is required, which makes the inspection process quick and relatively painless.

The same can not be said for a theme park.

(That's how this topic was explained to me when I worked at Disney World.)
