PHOTOS: Walls Come Down and Walkways Open in Disney Springs, Revealing “The Landing”
Walls came down around the former Pleasure Island bridge area (near the Adventurer’s Club site) over the Thanksgiving weekend, revealing new facades, concept art, and more for The Landing, the replacement land for PI courtesy of the Disney Springs makeover project of Downtown Disney. Let’s see what’s new and exciting:
Walls came down on the former Pleasure Island bridge connecting to the West Side last week, just in time for the heavy crowds
It has been closed for quite a while, well over a year
This area underneath the Restrooms next door to the former BET Soundstage seems to have been cleaned up
The large open space is where the Comedy Warehouse used to be
New lamps
Continuing the story of the abandoned railroad, there are train tracks in the pavment

Sign is up, but nothing is on it…
As much as there have been complaints that the Town Center looks fairly bland, the Landing has some really pretty elements
The former home of the Adventurer’s Club will become a restaurant

Here’s what it looks like now
The Landing will open in the Spring, but I can’t imagine these facades will be changed by then

The Landing neighborhood in Disney Springs will open Spring 2015, although the area will likely not be finished by that time.
