I am aware of that risk, especially these days.

Mr. SullivanApr 17, 2026

I would expect it will look very different when SSE gets it's rumored big refurbishment.

ChrisFLApr 17, 2026

Don't give them any ideas or they'll turn it into a gift shop

HMFApr 17, 2026

Does Project Tomorrow really serve any function anymore? then again, the park does have enough wasted space as it is.

When Flower and Garden was being prepared, i remember that they had to cover entire beds of flowers to try and protect them. Any of the tropical plants were at high risk (just look at what happened at the Polynesian).

tparrisApr 16, 2026

Yes, that is most likely the case. Even the brand new palm trees they installed last year flanking the front of SSE are completely trimmed and somewhat dead looking.

I wonder if some of the bushes they removed were ones that froze over the winter? Central Florida did get significant freezing days this past winter?

tparrisApr 16, 2026

They also seem to have removed a tree/bushes that were in this planter previously.

tparrisApr 16, 2026

They removed all trees from both Project Tomorrow exits, and they’re now starting to redo the panels there.

Preferably with no screens.

Sse desperately needs some new ride vehicles

Poseidon QuestMar 18, 2026
