There will even be a beautiful skylight:
Some advertising material for the new attractions (NOTE!: There is also a big ad for LEGOLAND Florida, which included the Pirate-themed Splash Battle! This means that the Legends of Chima theme was actually a last-minute change. If this is not a confirmation...):

Thank you for all the insider info! Love seeing blueprints of plans like this.
ReplyDeleteJust so you're aware - the larger 4D cinema will be for the Orlando Eye. Merlin has '4D Preshows' for all its observation attractions. They're pretty good!
ReplyDeleteSorry,but Sea Life is a crap,not worth the money.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but who wants to go to Sea Life when they can go to SeaWorld down the street??????
ReplyDeleteIn reply to anonymous x2 Sealife is a normally U.K attraction. In the U.K there are now seaworld so these centres are around the country and a great day out
ReplyDeleteRumor has it that Unicorp, developing I-Drive Live and I-Shops on the adjacent property, will bring a Planet Hollywood Hotel to Orlando.
ReplyDeleteNow this would be a real game changer for I-Drive.
Hey do you mind uploading a full size picture of the terminal building? That usually intrests me and I would love to see a big picture of it please!
ReplyDeleteThis is what Downtown Disney SHOULD be. Step up the game Disney.
