What does that mean?

It means I posted a snarky comment about pixar, then changed my mind

I think that looks great. I wish they chose a different theme than Cars though. I guess they wanted something for the boys.

^ I wish they chose something besides the stupid clown fish I am so sick of Nemo!!!!

I wish they would build a themed value resort (versus a decorated resort, such as Pop Century and the All-Stars).

Can we assume the 'value' rooms will be in the old (exterior corridor) uncompleted Pop Century buildings, and only the suites will be interior corridor (as apparently depicted)?

I like how all of these disney movie theme hotels forming around the parks.
I think the Disney's All-Star Movies Resort, Disney's All-Star Music Resort, and the Disney's Art of Animation Resort are great moves for the hotel experience.

I wondered about that too. But maybe this little picture doesn't show us a guest building?

I wouldn't assume much from the artwork as given about the buildings just yet. They probably wouldn't stray from the existing structural designs very much.

A while back some numbers were run, and it seemed like the two existing buildings plus one more would provide the announced standard rooms, with the rest would be suites.

All I can say is wow, I stopped dealing with a table that turns into a bed when I gave up trips in a camper. But that's just me and no way I'd pay money for that!

You didn't read the fine print at the bottom:

*Artist renderings show concepts only. Final design is subject to change.

Was at Pop Century Aug 27- Sept 4, and saw workers clearing the debris off the old foundations. Lots of trucks and other heavy equipment, but it looked likt they were just scraping the overgrowth back, not destroying the slabs that were already in place. From Google earth or bing.com, you can see all but 2 of the foundations are in place. Don't know how they would change that layout to accommodate interior corridors, or why they would want to spend the money to do so.

When I look at GE, I only see slabs for two buildings. The other six areas you can make out the outlines where they prepped and graded the area for the slabs, but no concrete beyond what looks like the pits for the hydraulic elevators.

You should look at bing maps. It's quite easy to see where all 10 buidlings were planned to be built.

Oh, all 10 are quite clear. What I am saying is that the slabs for two buildings were actually completely poured. The other 6 were not poured but prepped, possibly with whatever underlayment (gravel, sand, etc.) they put below the slabs. With Bing's bird's eye view, you can see it a lot more clearly. The two slabs closest to the "complete" buildings - one that is the third member of the cluster, and one of the two immediately south, are concrete but have some growth around the edges and some sort of growth covering (depending on which viewing angle you are looking at - one appears to be older than the others), possibly moss. The remaining areas appear to be just dirt with growth throughout.

From other descriptions, underground pipework was completed running infrastructure elements, so other than reclearing and touch up to the areas (assuming no footprint changes), the slabs just need to be poured.
