I'm somewhat mad club 33 is taking over Adventureland real estate. It's my favorite land. Oh look, something in your favorite land you can't visit.

So I was a bad DISer and didn't get pictures, (it was raining a bit) but just restating the obvious...GOTG building at Epcot is enormous. The Space restaurant is still just a pile of dirt, but you CAN see the construction from right in front of Test Track. The ones got a long way to go.

That would be true for a subset of people no matter where they put it, though.

Shame on you!
This is one I took a couple of weeks ago to show my sister the scale with Spaceship Earth in the frame... posted in another thread last week...

Oh I know. I'm just peeved it's my beloved land.
Disneyland is getting an awesome Tahitian terrace, and we get this. (Ok, I'm not actually sure it's awesome, as nobody quite knows exactly what it will be besides the fact that there will be tables).

Ummm....there hasn't been anything in that location for many, many years. I don't really feel like we've lost anything.

Oh but the possibilities!!
It's always nice to dream what could have occupied a space.

This will probably be one of the few times I say that I'm ok with an attraction being closed lol (other than Stitch of course
). Sindbad was well past it's time of main interest level for probably a good portion of people.

Hope ok to add to this a bit as we were at DHS yesterday.
First, getting to the entrance is a bit of a pain and really does feel like a mile walk through construction fencing. I know most of it is temporary but makes for a pretty unattractive welcome to the park. I will say they must be trying to get this done as quick as possible as when we were leaving after the firworks, etc. - so like 9:30pm or so, they were still working with diggers and stuff very active. The gondola station is coming along - definitely feels like a lot of the line support poles all over and the turn for heading to EPCOT is very visible from the main road. I am excited about this project so it is cool to see but I can understand why people who aren't excited about them feel like they are detracting form the view
As for Galaxy's Edge - I was surprised how visible it is from outside of the park ... even just driving down World Drive you can see the back side - and even moreso when on Osceola Parkway on the overpass over World Drive. These pictures are from coming in that entrance to the parking:
Also got to experience Toy Story Land for the first time yesterday - really enjoyed it and I think it is a really fun area. There were a lot of scuffed up areas - that looks like the paint was dried to quickly and didn't fully bond with the surface and then guests would peel at it (all the real damaged areas were within reach of people) but even some corners of things have rub off ... I think just shows that they scrambled to get it finished.
Slinky Dog is a great ride - got to ride it during the day and the night. No Fastpasses, waiting about 40 mins each time - but the line moves pretty good so wasn't so bad. Also felt the line went in and out of being covered and had quite a few fans, so wasn't too bad. Did AS2 once and also waited about 40 mins but the line didn't move as steady and way fewer fans so felt much longer. Ride was ok, but I don't think worth the wait.
Nothing that I have heard. My guess it was cancelled or never going to happen.
It was cancelled. I think they did the Pizzafari one instead
