Dirk Wallen’s 3/20/15 WDW Photo Report (Polynesian Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Disney Springs, ETC.)
WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen was all over the Walt Disney World Resort this week and has a ton of newsworthy photos to share with us, so let’s take a look at what’s new and exciting:
Starting at the Polynesian, the right side of the entrance is out from behind walls and looking good
The pool area is nearing completion also
Moving to the Magic Kingdom, work on the center of the hub is picking up speed
New planters await railings
The old Rose Garden is now being demolished as part of the hub expansion
The final remnants of the Plaza Swan Boats are being erased
Moving over to the Studios, walls are up around the former site of the Sorcerer’s Hat, at least through late-April
Strange to see this sight again, but if Echo Lake is demolished, it won’t be a sight for long
Over at Epcot, work continues on the mysterious “colorful” new Innoventions exhibit
Meanwhile, there is no visible progress on the Frozen attraction
Moving to Disney Springs, the Marketplace Co-Op has these Adventurer’s Club signs back in stock
These photos were taken just before the first pedestrian bridge was installed yesterday
The Town Center will rise upon this site over the next 12-14 months
One large structure is already rising
The small park area in front of Planet Hollywood and the Orange Garage entrance is nearing completion
New planters being installed outside Harley Davidson
No visible progress on STK Orlando, the supposed replacement for the BET Soundstage
The Hangar restaurant is now completely sealed, but still no announcement from Disney
The new Margarita Bar and pier in the Marketplace is coming along nicely
The BOATHOUSE, as seen from the Village Causeway
Still to early to tell, but this looks like one fo the facades that will hide the second parking garage from view
A lot of work still to be done on Morimoto Asia
Meanwhile, flags have gone up outside of the BOATHOUSE, leading us to believe it is nearing completion
Work on the dock is wrapping up
Another look at the Hangar Restaurant, whatever it might be…
