Speaks volumes about your taste, standards, and imagination of what Disney can create today. Enjoy it! #lowbar

When you put it that way, it does sound rather remarkable! Conversation piece landscaping, perhaps?

If you think vaginal planters are absolutely remarkable, god bless.

Then what would have counted as an amazing, creative change when designing an area that can serve for rest and decompression but also provide some space for booths or possibly other things during festivals? If you think anything short of the architectural equivalent of a unicorn dancing into a starburst is not creative enough for that kind of space, I don't think you would have liked the original EPCOT Center which had a very contemporary 1980s vibe.

Personally, I like amazing, creative change and hate terrible change. This is all terrible change.

This is basically how I feel, and I am one of those who gets annoyed when fonts don't look exactly period appropriate! I know the little details matter in terms of theme parks, but this one seems like a "pick your battles" case. It's fine, serves a purpose, and more or less fades into the background. Must say I am mystified to see people nostalgic for the horrible central spine shade structure. Complaining about this and lamenting that being torn down that suggests an aversion to change more than anything.

Look's like Telletubbies 🌱🤣 Kind of ironic the first thing they did was remove the canopy and now the last thing is install the canopy. 😶 Seeing that flex space behind walls I couldn't imagine what they'd do there.. Looks like it's back to some sort of playground area as maybe before it was.
