CountingthedaysI think that’s (more than likely) spot-on. It’ll be interesting to see when — if? — they reveal the ace up their sleeves…

@RickyinFLJust a quick FYI – Saratoga Springs is within walking distance. In fact, the DTD / Saratoga Springs loop is one of our favorite walks at Disney 🙂

@RickyinFLOnly one or two scenes of the Blue Man Group show are exclusive to Orlando.

And I didn’t mean to imply that CityWalk didn’t have either a movie theater or concert venue. =)

Blue Man Group and Cirque are exactly the same. Both are “nationally available” but have “dedicated” shows in their Orlando Locations. That’s why you always see the same promo materials for La Nouba and BMG here in orlando, because the parent companies are very strict about which details of the show they can reveal for promo. “maintaining the mystique”
Also, CityWalk totally has a movie theater, just as overpriced as Disney’s. And there’s definitely a concert venue too. I’ve seen some great shows at Hard Rock live and Velvet Lounge. Also, all UO themeparks and resorts are walking distance from CityWalk. NO disney parks or hotels are within walking distance of DD.

Thanks for mentioning the Adventurer’s Club. The day after the AC closed is the day I first purchased a Universal Annual Pass. I really do not believe that the California Disney execs knew what they had in the Adventurer’s Club.

My biggest problem with the Orlando Eye is: What’s there to look at? Orlando isn’t the greatest place to look at from up above. Disney World is too far away but, I guess, you’ll be able to just make out Universal and SeaWorld. So… yay? Still, it’s a good roundup of attractions and sounds like a definite must-see. Disney Springs, which will never get 150 tenants, is STiLL going to be somewhere for people staying in WDW and few people outside the resort will bother. And without much of a nightclub scene, I think CityWalk is going to lose its luster among the locals, meaning it too will be for onsite guests. But it should also appeal to people staying in the crowded I-Drive area, as WDW is just too far from there to be a convenient night out.
