Thanks for letting us know. That's a bummer. Now I understand why there were walls on the 2nd story balcony - it was already starting to happen.
The pool area is probably still going to remain visible for a while. Last chance to take photos of the volcano slide.
One thing I noticed when walking around the pool area. With the construction of the stilt houses, the waterfront is getting cluttered. Views of the lake, with the stilt houses so prominent, now blend in with the Grand Floridian and obstruct the open views across the lake. Who is designing these things and putting money and "glamor" ahead of the nice views envisioned and carefully built by the original designers? The waterfront is falling victim to overzealous development I'm afraid. I'm concerned about what additional Disney Vacation Club projects will do to the Poly. Disney is building their own version of overbuilt Waikiki it seems.
Yeppp. You nailed it. The Poly/Seven Seas Lagoon vista used to be really simple. Spires of Cinderella Castle in the background, islands, sand, water, and some great igneous rock formations. Maybe the Contemporary looming in the distance.
Now? Grand Floridian (how I dislike that hotel! Oy!) the bungalows, the new pool, the new Contempo Tower, and large Volcano Pool.
I'm really hoping that the new pool is of a subtler design… and that the bungalows, at least, maybe block out some of the other stuff. Sigh.
