Just been looking at a you tube video to get the family excited about our trip there later in the year, as our dining reservation window opens up soon.
this one in fact - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqEc8zYx6Hg
Well all I can say is - what a mess it seems to look.
Fantasyland Construction - cranes, construction walls and lots of metal framework poking up
Old Skyway area - what an ugly looking corner of the park - and you can see the 'very non magical' ride building of Haunted Mansion
Big Thunder - construction panels and yellow 'do not cross the line' tape with no visible walls 'covering up 'the magic'
Outside the park - the view from monorail at the Grand Floridian expansion looks like a horrible building site
I do appreciate its a massive project, and will eventually be fantastic - but seems that all this construction is never ending - and from this video - as ugly as ever
And will continue into 2014 apparently (I believe that's when the centrally located mine train ride will be completed)
The one thing that I appreciate about Disney is that they try to cover up their construction projects when they are able to. Granted they cannot cover up a crane but anyways.
Why not focus on one part of the world that needs to be re-constructed or refurbed and put all the effort into that, then move on to something else. Then perhaps people who are having their first trips to WDW may not feel like "everything is closed" or "there is nothing to do".
Who knows.
Sometimes I think Disney can not win. People will be upset no matter what the do (or don't do). I would MUCH rather have construction going on and things being updates, expanded, and fixed then deal with messes, breakdowns, and no new things.
Wow. That was a super large picture. Sorry about that.
I ALSO remember people being up in arms the day that Stitch's Great Escape officially opened, and Stitch toilet papered the castle. It was up for one day and there were asoooooooooooo many complaints.

When there's nothing new or rides start to get run down...people complain.
When there is construction...people complain
