those new signages are awful and cheap like anything at Disney Village. They should close it, demolish it and build a brand new area a little bit like Pleasure Island in Orlando. I worked at "Festival Disney" in the early days. it might have been seen as a cold design but at least the shops (Surf Shop, Hollywood Pictures...) and restaurants (Key West, Los Angeles Bar & Grill) where nice. Ok some areas got a good make over but I miss the skylight and the columns. Now it looks like a a hugly food corner same as the one you find in some US malls.

Too bad, realy too bad. They need to spend some money on Disney Villagel. Are the big heads blind or what?

Seems this topic hasn't been active for a while, any more info on DV???

In my opinion, i always think of DV as just something you walk through between the lovely lake and hotels and the well kept park. It all looks rather shabby and old to me now, and i don't really like being around there at night as there isn't much to do. Disney need to make DV seem more liek part of the resort and not just a walkway to the park.

This is the closest we have...  :sick:  

But I guess it's not expressive enough to describe this photo.  :wink:

Hobidobi! It´s nice to see that the village can top itself every time!
It´s there a bad taste party in planning? :lol:

It's funny how visuals can affect the way you feel about a shop. Looking at the exterior of this Disney Store, it gives you the feeling that it's a cheap, tacky, ugly shop with no taste or style. Who would be attracted to go in there? It's clearly the work of the French/European "designers" that also make all the totally non-Disney Halloween and Easter Bunny figures.

Horror! This is tacky beyond believe. I'm getting a weird Nara Dreamland kind of feeling now, haha. Besides that, I wonder which executive approves these kind of things. Maybe the American Imagineers should take a look at Disney Village.

By the way, the new projection on the Hurricanes building looks quite cool to be honest.  :wink:

Sorry for the confusion. Here's a pic showing the new projection. Its a pity that the quality of the new additions to Disney Village can differ that much. The new stands and these projections seem great in my humble opinion, but on the other hand, at the same time they have created these awful figures at the facade of the Disney Store.  :?
