Wow! Awesome find. Thanks for finding and sharing!

Is that a customized font? Anyone recognize it?

 

[Brian G.]

Doesn't stick out as anything I recognize.

It's an existing font -- JulianaJoy -- but they added a few flourishes to it to make it seem not so off-the-shelf.

It's a modified version of this font:

Thanks both! Those are clever modifications.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I find it interesting it now says "Coming 2016" rather than "Coming Summer 2016" as other promotional stuff as said.

I've also noticed from the permit site that their Engineering Permit applied for back on October 29, 2014 has had to have been sent back and revised 3 times since then, with some categories still receiving a "DISA" from the city, as recent as a week ago(I'm assuming "DISA" stands for "Disapprove"). Maybe this is common, I don't know, but I looked through Cabana's permits and didn't see anything where they had trouble getting permits approved.

^^^That's part of the normal process. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Haven't seen the new brochure or the logo. It looks awesome. Thanks for posting.

THe logo is sexy. can't wait to stay here. I had plans on getting married at Uni in the upcoming years and wanted my partner and I to stay at the portifino and my guest at the Royal Pacific where the wedding is going to be. Depending on how well they execute this hotel....i just might have to change my plans.

Disney has bought their way into City Code Enforcement! Why compete when you can just sabotage! Seriously though really like the logo.

look at that backhoe on the Sapphire Falls site. lol:

 

[Gambit]

I'm really liking the way this hotel is shaping up. Can't wait!

Hoy! Is this really a below ground basement? Look how far below grade it appears. The only other thing I have seen this done for was Transformers.

Yep. They dug down for the canal for the boats, then butted the back side of this into the hill they made.

WTH? My tablet did weird stuff.

Are you saying that the basement isn't below grade, that it isn't far lower than Hollywood Way?

No, no. It's below grade. Sheet piling all along the back side of what you see. But the front side is deeper for the boat canal.

Has it been mentioned what type of rooms they'll have? Any chance for family suites like over in Cabana Bay?

1,000 rooms, of which 77 will be Suites. By their description, they sound more like full blown suites than "Family Suites".
