Disney Update: Disney Springs gets new artwork and Disney posts record revenue.

Record revenue and profits:

The Walt Disney Company posted a record setting revenue for the company this year clocking in at just a little over 45 billion with over 6 billion in profit.  The increase is credited mainly to record setting attendance numbers in the theme parks and a solid increase in guest spending inside its parks.

Pleasure Island Bi-Pass Bridge open and new Disney Springs Artwork:

The new bridge that will allow guests to bi-pass the old Pleasure Island complex is now complete and open for guest use.  The bridge, which is temporary, feels solid with a great lighting package and fantastic views of the water and Disneys Saratoga Springs Resort. In addition the bridge is lined with new concept art for Disney Springs!

The new concept art shows that Disney Springs is in a heavy evolve stage with ideas changing all the time. The artwork also shows the elaborate springs area that will provide a waterfront feel to almost every location at this new project.

The next two photos show how the concept for the main lake shopping area has changed.  Disney has changed the former two story idea, to a more relaxed waterfront pier look with some stores having open store fronts.

I should also note that Valet parking is now open in full force at Downtown Disney as the first of two massive parking structures is under construction.
