So happy they’re testing any fireworks at all! Gives me hope.

lol! It doesn’t take a lot of fireworks to make this exciting when there haven’t been any for over 6 months!!

I knew I should have booked a flight for a one night stay at Riviera for the fireworks. Missed opportunity. Now back to our regular no fireworks life

Seems weird to just come out know - like the reference was pretty obvious from the start

A possible reason just occurred to me - free press and publicity anyone? Per the links included in the articles, they apparently are reissuing the old toys and now I know that only because they filed this lawsuit. Evil plan worked!

Anyone got a comparable “before” picture?

I really think Moana will be subtle.

If I am looking at that right, there will be that new covered entrance way on the otherside of the monorail station - where right now there is nothing but trees/bushes blocking the view from the parking lot so sort of hard to get a good comparable view as would be the trees in the way

This is the current view from the parking lot via google maps:

yeah, seemed mor elike in the color scheme, so picturing more blues that in the current current scheme (along with other tropical notes) and then maybe images sort of "hidden" in the carpets and other fabrics, maybe some of the light fixtures or accent tiles in the showers, etc.

 

[YesterDark]

I like it.

Something from that movie will be on the shower curtain. Maybe her, maybe hei hei, maybe just the boat, But they love the shower curtains.

That's a nice improvement. My impression was the Moana theming would be more in the guest rooms, which they only briefly mentioned in that article. It'll probably be subtle, like the Three Caballeros theming at CSR.

When we were monorail hopping on our last day in 2017 I kinda thought the monorail station was a tad blah. I'm liking the rendering, it will be nice to see the finished product.

are the Deluxe resorts still getting shower curtains or are they getting glass doors? If the later maybe something in the tile work then

 

[plutotheduggo]

This is going to really look good. Can't wait to visit next year.
