Myself and WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen both made trips to Disney Springs over the last week and have so me photos to share of the continuing construction projects in the area:

A look at the bus loop

Looking toward the Town Center

The new foliage on the parking garage was installed last week…

Someone already threw garbage in it…

While hard to see, the interior of Planet Hollywood has been gutted

Glass panels being installed on the face of the Coca-Cola location in Disney Springs

No visible progress on STK

Work slowly coming along on the Edison

Looking out towards the Town Center from The Landing

The new buildings near Marketplace are coming along quickly

This new building by the Village Causeway went up fast

A Marie Magicband was released recently

Movieland Series Vinylmation now available

As are Zootopia Vinylmation

I took a trip over to Disney Springs recently to see the latest progress on all of the construction, so here are some photos of what I found while I was there:

Planet Hollywood has begun their complete remodel of the establishment

The new Disney Springs bus loop looks like it could be ready soon

The Marketplace parking structure continues to rise

Well, we figured out where the Coca-Cola retail location is going

Looks like there may be a rolling belt along the building moving bottles around, but that’s just our guess. And no, it’s not World of Coke…

Another look at Planet Hollywood

STK Steakhouse should open in March

Another counter service location operated by Raglan Road is being constructed

Forty Thirst Street Express became simply Joffrey’s at some point

The menu boards didn’t even change though

The Sign Shop is gone from Marketplace Co-Op, replaced by the Attractionistas dolls which Disney is trying to get rolling

Some of the newer phone case designs at D-Tech on Demand

Anna and Elsa already in Norway at Epcot

It’s kind of fun to think of this as Toy Story Land blowing up the Earful Tower…

Marathon designs still available

New Oslwald’s Super Service sign at Art of Disney, only $95

This Hyperion Studios sign is $125

Good grief…

Lion King Tsum Tsums now at Once Upon a Toy

The last of the 2016 merchandise is finally out, the bus and hauler toys

These new Princess figure sets were released recently and should be available at Disney Parks aroudn the globe

The re-packaged monorail toys are also readily available now

The original Spaceship Earth toy with monorail track beneath it was re-released after many years in retirement

Spotted the new Haunted Mansion snowglobe at World of Disney

 

Also found this Peter Pan’s Flight one

Weird new crochet pin set

Work near Marketplace on a new 2-story building

Found these amazing dog tags in Galactic Outpost

Each one is a different attraction poster remade as a Star Wars poster

Jungle Cruise becomes Hoth

Storybookland becomes the Space Slug… too bad these are over $20 each…

Over the weekend, I paid a visit to Disney Springs to go to the movies (I saw “Hail Caesar!”, which I highly recommend if you love the Hollywood of the 1930’s and 40’s, similar to the era represented at Hollywood Studios), and I took some newsworthy photos to share while I was there. Let’s take a look at what’s new and exciting at what was Downtown Disney:

Greenery now growing on the Orange parking structure

Got artsy…

STK will have a great waterside view

Work continues on the new bus loop

As well as the second parking structure

Work happening on the backside of the Coca-Cola location

Not much progress has been made on the Planet Hollywood exterior

Zootopia banners outside of the AMC

Work continues on The Edison, Walt’s Lounge, and Neverland Underground in The Landing

Walls near DisneyQuest

It looks like all of the sunrise high-line is finally complete, not that the structures have any real use…

Italian Ice now greets guests as they enter from the West Side

A look at the construction in The Landing from the waterside

Jock Lindsay’s has become one of my favorite lunch spots at WDW

The menu just keeps getting better and the drinks and service are fantastic!

A look at the Town Center from The Landing

The backside of T-Rex is complete. It’s not pretty, but it’s done.

The Springs have appeared!

These shots have me fairly excited to see the finished product

Two new small kiosks have popped up by Fulton’s

The Town Center area connecting to Marketplace

Goofy’s Candy Co. got a new paint job… it’s not perfect…

It’s really rough in some areas

See?

Art of Disney locations are now carrying the new Enesco character maquette figures

These are the spiritual successors to the old Walt Disney Classics Collection, but I don’t see them succeeding in the same fashion

Disney Days of Christmas has resort specific ornamanets

Not all resorts have one, but I think they all will soon enough

Some new open edition pins

Some new pieces at the Wonderground Gallery

The ceramic Moonliner figures are finally in stock at Marketplace Co-Op

The Marketplace parking structure as seen from World of Disney

They actually had the Nautilus mugs in stock

The new Minnie Mouse line includes not just the pillow we showed you earlier this week, but also a blanket and storage bins

Work continues on STK, which should open soon…
