Near the center of the site, a piling rig has been set up, which looks like it may be laying the first of the foundations for the new building.

It’s all subjective of course, but arguing that it isn’t intrusive is still a weird take.

It doesn't.

It is not visible for most of the monorail. From the Grand Flo to MK you can't see it until you're just coming to the MK station (I video taped this). From the poly you can only see it when you clear the last building. From MK you can see it in the distance until you start turning to poly. So it's visible for maybe 35%ish of the track (maybe 40)

Once the mold sets in it will be plenty dark plus they can dye it after install, Disney still knows how to do that

It also effectively destroys any separation between Poly and Grand Floridan. It looks more like a Vegas-style skyline where one just bleeds into the next.

It was extremely visible from Bay Lake Tower.... and most of the monorail line. From straight across the lake it looks even bigger than it is....

I disagree you can barely see it from the docks at MK and you can't see it from most of the monorail line.

Yes, but if you put a solid wall between it and you and then look at the wall, voila!, it’s not!

I know about both, and the in between options. Real stone has grout up front, lick-n’-stick fakes the “grout” up front (if there is any, which there usually isn’t), but it looks too thin to be real stone (at least the best I can tell from the pics), so, yes, it’s looks like the kind where the grout will be applied after, similar to tile. Either way, if it were my decision, I would have chosen a darker stone with a matching grout.

there's a lot of in-between veneer options between real stone pieces and lick-n-stick that will look good but are made for this type of application that I would wager they went forward with.... and they will grout it lol just be patient
