One of our newest WDWNT reporters, Brian Carey, brings us his very first report today, taking a look that all that is new at Disney Springs/Downtown Disney:
The decorative panels on the outside of parking structure have started going up
What’s New? signs can now be found, helping guests find the newer additions
Sound Lion is now open
A look inside Sanuk
The Art of Shaving (not shown) and Apex (shown above) are now open as well.
Havaianas will be going in this location. For those unfamiliar, Havaianas sells flip flops and sandals from Brazil.
Chapel Hats is open
And of course the stands on the bridge (Village Causeway) are open
GHOSTS!
A look at the bridge from afar
Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC is still not open
Probably a lot of furnishing left to do based on this shot
The former Pleasure Island dead zone is now coming to life as The Landing
Still no details on Disney’s Hangar restaurant, which will be a table service location
The bar is located on a boat on the side of the building
The dock at the Boathouse is nearly complete
Back over to The Landing, inside the Art of Shaving
Shaving is expensive…
Thanks for the report Brian and welcome to the team!
Welcome to the team Brian! Liked your use of depth of field with some of your shots. Very professional looking.
Couldn’t agree more. If this is the quality we can expect, I hope this guy sticks around. Top notch photo report.
Anyone know when the Boathouse restaurant will be opening?
$34 for pair of flip-flops is all I need to know about that store.
Thank you for your report Brian, nice photos!
I’ve read it will open in Spring 2015. Unlike with their parks Disney seems to actually move at a normal rate with their resorts and retail areas.

Whaaaaah! I WANT IT NOW!
What are you, 5 years old?
Lol well based on your user name, I would guess it was you who was 5 years old. Steven has a valid point. Disney takes way longer than necessary to shell out attractions that are second rate, but rush retail…because their main concern is clearly making more money.
Yeah. It’s all about money. It has nothing to do with the fact that building a brand new, functioning attraction has just a tiny bit higher level of difficulty than building s simple store. Excellent job keeping up with reality, folks.
