caveat lector 181 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Major cool factor points for those maps Captain Lou.I worked for AT&T twenty something years ago. They sponsored the ride in the big golf ball. We actually had meetings for a week in conference room inside the big golf ball. One day was spent learning the "Disney" way. Not sure what it was called, but it included behind the scenes tours of every park. As a civilian, it was fascinating to walk through the utilidors and see the vacuum trash system. Seeing that map brings back some great memories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just to clarify, you mean just Main Street USA, and not the MK?The 3 and 4th floors are to spread out to include a Map of all of them. So I'd settle for just MO8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like a great experience.The Disney way is now called "pain in the arse way" with the gotcha managerial style being the preferred method used by the idiot managers.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Orlando Attractions Magazine posted this to Facebook a few minutes ago... The old swan boat landing at Magic Kingdom is now gone: It's part of the remodel of the hub area.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 That's kind of sad, even though the Swan Boats have been gone for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 WDW Magic has posted updated photos of the redevelopment taking place in the Hub on Main Street at the Magic Kingdom... Today we have an updated look at the construction work taking place on the redevelopment of the Magic Kingdom's hub area. Work is still concentrated around the bridge area, with signs of foundation work now getting underway in the area around the former waterway. If you are not familiar with the plans for the hub redevelopment, be sure to take a look at this post which provides animations of the completed area, which should be ready in 2015.

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Looks like there will be more room for all those crowds that gather for the shows at the castle. I give this a plus rating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Was there ever a target date released for when this will be done? I have only seen 2015. So would that mean by the start if 2015 or just that they're confident they will get it done sometime in 2015 but still prior to the Mine Train running properly?

To be fair, the Mine Train has never run any differently than it does now. So how do you know this isn't the way it was intended to run? Or not run. Whichever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
