Job listing description from Patina group about the Edison complex.

"Four new concepts that will be connected as part of one large complex and will be introduced to Disney Springs in the Fall of 2017. Each of the concepts is housed in key locations that play an integral role in the Disney Springs origin story, such as the former airline terminal, an underground rum running tunnel, and the former electrical power plant, providing rich territory for story-telling. The locations will treasure Italian authenticity create unique cultural immersion experiences through fine cuisine, beverages, and atmosphere."

Hmm live action...not surprised I suppose.

It may be good though IDK just trying to picture it.

I was kind of put off by the live action thing. I love the Jetsons though. I would settle for a cartoon re-release or update.

Me too. I was initially hoping for that as well but I'm not surprised they did live action fits in with their current trend.

Guess that would mean the end of the fountain though

I HOPE that's not the end of the fountain. When we went last month, I was really hoping they put the fountain back in. Luckily, I have a few photos from 2013 when we were there before. I think the fountain is at least as good as the movie itself! Lots of detail that you'd miss otherwise.

I loved walking down that street!

Is the "singing in the rain" umbrella in that section? That was always my favorite gag to act out with the kids on...

I have seen this as well. In June at Pop there were no more Mickey shaped bottles but just regular squeeze tubes.

It's not even those. Wall mounted larger bottles have apparently been popping up.

Yeah, I have seen that around too. Not sure how many resorts it is at yet.

well, the largest INTENTIONAL one is already at DHS (though we more pronounced when the park first opened - modifications have made is less explicit):

 

[Roxyfire]

Has anyone mentioned yet that pump-style toiletries are showing up at some of the resorts? Possibly no more little bottles.

With the number of people I've seen in facebook groups bragging about stealing entire trays worth of products from the housekeeping carts I can't say I'm surprised by this at all.

This is why we can’t have nice things! I like to use my own hair products anyway but still take a couple bottles of the lotion and aloe in my bag. Hopefully those remain in some form.

If anything needs to be just a "memory" I can't think of better candidate attraction...

It would be the only attraction that they have a closing day event and there's still no wait.

The drop sequences are computer controlled since about 2001...they have the ability to vary/randomly select the sequences

That is current and future of ride systems: such as the trackless that will be invading wdw starting now. Variation is the spice of life.

Oh, my wife is not going to be happy about that! ARggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

[lockedoutlogic]

Oh, my wife is not going to be happy about that! ARggghhhhhhhhhhhh!

That seems like an extremely personal issue that best be talked about with a licensed professional...

They can't sell muppets...but they sure have tried. Can you think of anything that disney has tried longer and harder to sell and failed than muppets?

It's very true and very sad. It seems Muppets don't work well in today's marketplace. I sometimes wonder if they should "go younger" with the Muppets to save it. (They did this in the 80s with Muppet Babies.) I would sort of hate it because part of the appeal of the Muppets is their irreverence. I never understood why they put them on Network TV...Muppets are too niche. Hope they someday find a way to make them work. (MMW just wasn't very good.)
