WDWNT Reporter Joe Hogarty visited Downtown Disney (soon to be Disney Springs) on Friday and has a ton of great newsworthy photos to share with us, so let’s take a look:
THE CRANE! THE CRANE!
Work continues on the West Side parking structure for Disney Springs
The Disney Springs logo is starting to pop up…
For now, you can find the logo only on some parking signs
Looks like they are up to the 7th level on the parking structure which should be completed in 3-4 months
Walls still up where Food Truck Park will be located
The West Side Starbucks has opened
Along with the Downtown Disney Anaheim location, this is one of the very first locations with the new store look
It looks great inside
Touch-screen allows guests at other Starbucks locations to interact with guests in Orlando… for now it’s just Anaheim
They seem happy to finally be open :)
Not much change to see on the bridge to what’s left of Pleasure Island
BET Soundstage Club signage remains
Vertical construction in The Landing section is progressing nicely, but there isn’t much time left before it opens in early 2015
The backside of Portobello is being worked on as it will soon be visible to guests via a new walkway to the Marketplace from The Landing
Some new façade also going on the back of Raglan Road
Some pavement work happening outside of Fulton’s
Looks like the first pieces of the Marketplace bridge have arrived
A large concrete island is now floating out in the water, probably the location where the bridge will turn
The small Starbucks location in the Marketplace by World of Disney has also opened
Don’t forget, Car Masters Weekend is coming up fast! Get it, FAST?!?
