Wow, it looks so much "neater" from aerial view. LOL. It was a hot mess when DD and I were trying to walk to Shades of Green from there last month and then back to Poly to catch a WDW bus.

I’m sure!! There really is a lot going on!!! I’m impressed with what they’re doing at Poly! I can’t wait to see it all done!!

Silly me suggested we take a shortcut through the parking lot. That didn't go so well. I shoulda listened to DD

Those rooms are looking SO nice. We've never stayed at the Poly (came *this close* after WL didn't open last year and they moved us to Poly) and it's my bucket list resort . We visit Poly a lot since we frequently stay at SoG and go to the restaurants and use the Monorail stop there.

Absolutely. This changes nothing for Disney or any other organizations for that matter, but it is moving things forward, even if a little bit. I like to see that as a hopeful sign that better days are coming.

It actually could change something for families that want to visit Disney world with extended family members in the same hotel room or suite.

You can always hope for a "soft opening" before the official opening date.

We have EPCOT reservations for October 2nd!

You don't need a soft opening. You only need to hope that they've worked the bugs out by then.

That's awesome! Possibly trying to spread the crowd around a bit that day. We have a park reservation for MK on the 1st but also happened to have Epcot for the 2nd. I just switched Sept 30 to Epcot just in case there are any soft openings/previews.

That is an interesting date choice. We can assume that MK will be completely packed that day, is this an attempt to draw some crowds to EPCOT?
