Hyperion Wharf

Disney announced their plans for the former Pleasure Island area of Downtown Disney. It is supposed to be a vibrant shopping center filled with lights at night and a 20s era wharf during the day.


While they didn't announce much, the pictures seem promising. And let's face it, anything they do can be an improvement. Without adding anything since closing the night clubs and most notably the Adventurer's Club, PI has become rather dead. I look forward to more concept art and more resturant, store, and attraction announcements.

My only complaint is the 2013 completion date. I understand this process takes time, but this seems a little far off for the planned construction. Then again, I may be underestimating the size of the project.

To me, this is a very important project for Disney. Universal has been thriving lately and many people have long favored City Walk's offerings to its Disney counterpart. This could be a huge stab at Universal's hold on that park of the guest experience.

Are you guys excited about the planned improvement?
