Today's Disney Springs update is a closer look at the work taking place in constructing 'The Springs'.

The Springs construction

The heart of Disney Springs, this all new area runs from Planet Hollywood, behind The Landing, past Raglan Road and ends at T-REX.

The Springs construction

Being built somewhat like the lazy river at Typhoon Lagoon, The Springs water feature will run through the center, providing great water views for the restaurants and walkways in the area. STK Orlando, the new Planet Hollywood Observatory, Chef Art's Fish Camp, Sprinkles, Morimoto Asia, Raglan Road and yet unannounced restaurants will all have views onto the water.

The Springs is expected to open in early 2016.

I'd expect some pretty major color and decor changes (with the props staying or being shuffled around), because The Observatory concept seems to be a little more upscale than the kitschy style of the current PH.

What is the Planet Hollywood Observatory? And do you have the concept art of the new Planet Hollywood Observatory?

BartattackAug 12, 2015

Will they close Planet Hollywood while it's being transformed into the Observatory?

The project will not be done anytime soon but you should be able to walk all the way around T. rex by Christmas which means the springs water feature will be done. We should be able to walk around morimotos and the new steak house as well by then too.

Still seems like they have a long way to go. Spring 2016. I guess it will be ready June 1, which is technically spring.

Yes, through Pleasure Island as always. Town Center will be a new route between the two where the Pleasure Island parking lot was located.

It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures but I was wondering are you still able to walk from Marketplace to the West Side?

No waterfalls, just taking the appearance of a real spring's different levels of depth. There will be movement to the water, but like a Florida spring, which is usually a gentle rolling.

Agreed. It has always felt a little off going from a park to DTD because the theming was just never on the same level

When does the new Planet Hollywood Observatory will be finished Construction?:confused:

Looking great. Very exciting. :) I find the fifth and ninth pictures interesting. It looks like there are different levels of the bottom of the Springs. I wonder if that's just to give it a realistic appearance, or if the water will have enough of a current to actually cascade down that area like a little mini-waterfall.
