Disney announces Voyageurs Lounge coming to Riviera

The Voyageurs’ Lounge is reported to be an “artful gathering place” where folks can relax and share the details of their day. The new lounge will be located next to Le Petit Café and will feature décor that was inspired by a collection of book titles that Walt Disney gathered, including Walt’s 1935 European “Grand Tour.” The lounge will showcase some of the unique Disney connections to Europe.

Funny, I was just there yesterday (2/6) and spent probably 20 minutes on the grounds of the Japan pavilion. Not once did I have any indication that there was construction going on.

It is kind of hidden.

Good thing we just built a cabinet for our tiki mugs

I'm going to need one if I can ever find a house I like enough to buy.

Really excited about this as the Mondo Tikis are very well done. I've already got Mondo's Alien and Iron Giant mugs next to my Trader Sam's collection. With this announcement it's obvious I'll be adding some more to to the shelves

We have the Alien one too, and a Gremlin one. We missed the Iron Giant one somehow.

What usually takes the longest? The building of the facade and interior walls? Or the ride details, installations, electrical, etc. I feel like the structure would be the easy part, but the ride itself would be harder.

I could be completely wrong.

I think you are right - though the outside can take a while too if they are doing a lot of details and rock work and the like

My hope is that since this isn't a new ride (e.g., just a port of the ride already in Paris) that the actual ride installation will be easier/quicker than something brand new, like the new Guardians ride

It depends

The only in parks thing is SUPER annoying. It’s like 80% of the shop parks app. I was there last week and wanted a spirit jersey but hemmed and hawed on it and then when I got home regretted not getting one— can’t order. Boo.

UGH! The Shop Parks app used to be so much better. There were a few times some of my items were cancelled because they could not be fulfilled, but I definitely preferred it! There were also tons of promotions like tiered discounts, free shipping no minimum, and even sale items. I have an AP, but getting 25% off or the AP 20% with free shipping is better than always having to spend $75 (I refuse to pay shipping). I also find I can barely find anything eligible for resort pickup. I used to order a few things to have waiting for me upon arrival and I haven't done for the past few trips.
