↩ replying to wdwmagicCool! There have been permits for this part of the project so I had been wondering when we would finally see work start.
L
Been looking forward to seeing progress on the West Side.
B
I should have got in the construction wall industry.

↩ replying to Boltyea no kidding. It seems like most of downtown disney is walled off right now.
Btw when are we going to start calling it disney springs?

An elevated train track with no train. Makes sense.
K
Yes, I know. You're missing the point. There used to be a train there.

↩ replying to KnotheadAnd Atlantis used to be above the water and the Haunted Mansion was just a mansion at some point in history.
In Imagineer speak it is called "theming". :facepalm:

I live close to the High Line in NYC. The point is that it is now a beautiful park.
It used to be just a derelict train track. It hadn't seen a train since before subways went underground.
Disney is taking the concept because anyone who has been to the HL knows it's gorgeous.
Also maybe they'll need to start building up due to overcrowding, lol.

This project really has potential to be gorgeous. Between the food trucks, and the high line, they're really drawing inspiration from big cities. I can't wait to see it finished.

↩ replying to jagiord1Careful what you say....most people think this is "just another shopping mall" :)
Disney doesn't seem to be messing around on this and construction seems to be happening everywhere you look

↩ replying to WdwprinceA really nice part of the Disney Springs high line is the shade it will provide. In the summer the sun in the West Side can be brutal. I think this addition will encourage people to stay in that area.

↩ replying to WDWDad13Yep you can tell they aren't messing about by them a)not announcing a vendor list and b)by dragging out construction.

↩ replying to SirLinkThe vendors will announce closer to opening. They are already physically building for tenants, even though they are not announced.
They are certainly not dragging out construction. That may be true for Fantasyland but not at Springs.
S
↩ replying to wdwmagicI feel they are certainly dragging out construction but more so with the construction order that garage should be having people working on it 24/7 the 'High Line' stuff should be rushed to get it done ... plus funny that Disney doesn't want to yet shopping centre's around the world at least announce key tenants before construction.
