News Round Up

Seems a lot like the Poly, n'est pas?

Actually...there were
Major rehabs to "service areas" at all the "future" DVC locations prior to their construction...

The biggest one prior to poly being contemporary...where they moved around/redid all the food and merch on the lower floors...
And then just so happened to build a DVC tower immediately following.

You joke, but doesn't it share water with the outside?

That was one of the reasons they removed the Poly water feature.

I think that's self contained/recirculated...like an elaborate hot tub.

Well if they do they can use the same sales pitch the used for the Polynesian.

It's the same hotel you love. Just with a fence around the pool and without a water feature. Buy today!

Wait a second... Wilderness lodge lobby is under construction now? After the pool was under construction? Hmmm...gee...I wonder what's going on there?

And some over the water bungalows there possible as well at least the rumors say so.

Disney's Worst Kept Secret strikes again!

Actually - should a DVC expansion at WL even be considered a "rumor". Some things I've read about it come directly out of DVC.

I can't think of something that's been taken away that I will miss less than the hat.

Oh wait, the Epcot Wand.

Did you ever see the photos of that wand laying in a heap in a junk pile? Love or hate the wand, it was still hard to see. That's how I now imagine Mickey and Minnie's houses, and now the hat.

I almost posted that one, but I didn't have a good picture handy. I found that one less offensive though because it was only there for about 6 months. The wand stuck around for about 7 years.

They would have gone together so well, the Wand and the Candy Castle. The only thing missing was a 1500 ft Sugar Plum Fairy.....

I never saw the cake castle in person but I like it in the pictures. I also don't mind the Stitch ride.

Does that make me the best Disney fan or the worst Disney fan?
