Broccoli MountainI would never thought there would be so much lush greenery on the top of a salt mound.
Salt is very bad for plants.
It looks good, it looks "fluffy" with plant life.

There are two frog figures (I assume Naveen and Tiana) sitting on a log in the old briar patch section outdoors. Currently being painted. My phone will cooperate to get a picture through the mesh screen.
That’s interesting, I wasn’t sure if she’d appear in frog form.

These guys. Also Disneyland will be receiving it's water tower within the next few weeks. Base structure is virtually finished and the fabrication process for the top portion of the tower is nearly complete at 1401. Pace is picking up quite a bit here in Anaheim but Orlando's is on track for it's scheduled April/May opening time frame. That's if nothing delays the ongoing revisions.

This a pretty cool shot of the park from where they are installing the weather vane

that video reminds me of Destination D when 2 current imagineers gave a presentation on 7 dwarves mine train right after Tony Baxters presentation on Mystic Harbor or whatever it was going to be called.
Like it’s cool the weather vane was created in New Orleans, but if that’s your big talking piece I think something is missing. It would be like focusing on who made the prayer flags when building Everest.

Is the secret ingredient we need to find......frogs? That's some dark, dark humor....

Meshes exactly with what I've said about the plausibility of Tiana employing a local blacksmith to craft a Tiara for the water tower.

More promo material without the "late 2024" is definitely a good sign.

Those two frogs were also in the WDW render as well.
That weather vane clip made me laugh. Like with a lot of their recent showings for the ride, I hope this is just them being coy and holding back a lot of actually cool information. And not hyper fixating on a tiny detail because it's all they have. The way they're marketing this attraction is still baffling to me. Unless again they're embarrassed by what they have to show...
April-May seems kind of crazy to me. Like I said, I knew there was a push to have it done "up to" 5-6 months earlier than originally intended. I assumed originally "late 2024" probably meant December or MAYBE the tail end of November, so possibly June-July if they got what they wanted. But I never heard back if WDI got approval for an abbreviated timeline, but I really wouldn't have expected they'd get it done as quickly as they wanted. But April-May sounds even more aggressive than what I heard.
If there are actual revisions to the ride, I'd assume they're dialog related rather than anything physical.

Again, the focus of the marketing appears to be WHO is making things and not WHAT is being made. They feel it's important to give credibility to the authenticity of the experience and the inclusive approach to the overall production.
I guess because the bulk of the construction, fabrication and design is being done by typical WDI employees and contracted third parties, than that's why their work is not being called out specifically.
Not necessarily the approach I'd take to selling a theme park thrill ride to tourists, fans of The Princess and the Frog, or Disney fans in general, but I'm not making these decisions.
