People seem to like the edgier characters/the villains. Maybe they are trying to position Sebastian as an evil cannibal

Old Port Royale opens Oct. 8th along with names changes to some of the islands

it says

"Also on October 8, the existing entrance on Buena Vista Drive will close, and the new entrance on Victory Way near to Art of Animation will be the primary entrance for cars and buses."

Is that move permanent or are they redoing the original entrance?

I believe this is permanent.

I still miss Alien Encounter. Scared the you know what out of me!

My pastor - who is a huge Disney fan - actually referenced this attraction in his sermon on Sunday!

That is interesting. So is the new entrance where the buses used to leave out onto Victory Way just south of Jamaica or did they put a new entrance somewhere else? And I guess the old entrance will be for the Riv?

I’m not too familiar with CBR so I can’t speak for sure.

My fam only stayed there once and quickly went back to POFQ once it reopened. It was closed down after 911 so the next trip was at Caribbean. For some reason, I still just remember it being hot and not near as pretty of landscaping. Not a bad experience by any means, just preferred the quiet, finely kept POFQ.

That would make sense. I'm sure they'll be getting rid of the Customs House and its parking lot soon and the entrance for Riviera will likely go through that area.

Being 54, these type of changes affect my nostalgia more than most. I mean I remember that building from when I was much younger. Will miss the look that I had grown so accustomed too. Glad it will be used again for many more years in a totally different way. Progress.

Yeah, the exterior should remain structurally the same. The solar panels obviously are being removed and the outside will be a different color but it should have that same shape we know and love.

Do we know if the solar panels are coming back? seems like it would be silly to eliminate that as they have been putting in solar fields elsewhere
