Why are the two parks getting better and better but the Disney Village is getting worse? I don't understand it! :P

DV improvement
« Reply #198 on: June 19, 2007, 08:18:39 PM »
Now that finally the wand is coming down at Epcot, maybe we´re going to see
it reading Disney Village over here at the entrance of DV in DLRP.
 :shock:


Seeing the big "improvements" over the last weeks in the DV, this would sure be another one. :twisted:

Omg, I cant´s believe what they did to the Disney Store Sign

Buildings get safety rails.


On Billy Bob's you cant see them, but theres new boards around the top of the roof.

Hey, that looks GOOD! :shock: Something GOOD added to Disney Village! :shock:

Let me just recover for a few seconds....

It really makes sense to add those bits "sticking out" at the top, since the most horrible thing about Frank Gehry's buildings here is that they usually look like cardboard boxes with no features other than four walls. Just cheap cheap cheap.  This is also cheap, but makes them look more respectible.  It would have been #1 on my list of improvements, so well done to them.  Finally, a success!

I'm guessing the "safety rail" is just prep for the second half of the boards. :)

This is one good little touch to the Village, but why can't they do it to the whole place? :o The Disney Village really reminds me of something you'd see at Butlins, and I hate that place.

Truly, Billy Bob's look good indeed... but the Disney store, now honestly  :? couldn't they just leave it for now... as everyone already said, it looks cheap, tacky, fake... and really quite scary actually... if I wouldn't know it was at DV, I would sware this was something at Shijingshan Amusement Park (the fake Disneyland)... really rather disappointing.
But I'm definately not saying they should change DV immediately... this is the 15th anniversary year and it's only normal they spend the most attention to the Disneyland Park... and we can't complain about the Studios eighter, me thinks!  :shock: they are doing a whole lot at a time according to me... and let's not forget a complete refurb of DV with a new theme and concept would cost incredibly much, budget planning has to alow it too, so let's be patient and the so long awaited new Village will arrive someday, but supposedly that'll be for after the 15th year, and after the opening of the TOT... seems logical to me anyway...
 
so for now Village will do... but still, couldn't they just have left the Disney Store as it was :? it makes you wanna go to the Imagineering Departement and really make a scene!  :P guess they just wanted to do something in the meantime, not knowing what. But I know one thing; as that facade is now, it will not last a year, mark my words...  :wink:

Isn't it a shame what they did to that very nice and classy style of the rock art at the Disney Store. Now it looks so cheap and ugly ! What were their thoughts as they paint it like this ?! I really cannot understand why they turned such a beautiful thing into something very very ugly.  :(  :(  :x

Why?!!! I don't understand why they had to make those changes to the rock art on the disney store, probably bored so they decided to paint. The saloon painting looks good though, at least something looks good at disney village.

I hope we see some actual IMPROVEMENTS before my next summer visit. I'm starting to get worried about disney village. It's certainly no downtown disney.

they seem to be trying to over-do the decorating somewhat...

Not as bad as it could be though I suppose.

On dlrp.fr are a few new pictures of the Disney Store walls. Well, I think, it doesn't look that bad with all the neonlights.

Since we use this topic mainly for bashing DV, lets also give credit where credit is due - this new Ben & Jerry's location is lovely! I can't think of anything nicer than relaxing by Lake Disney with an ice cream...



Looks like it might replace the ugly Studio Catering Co. van... and I think the seating takes the place of an old radio controlled game. Small step for most, one giant leap for DV. :wink:
