They aren’t doing it to free up barstools.

I love this idea, but not necessarily the arrangement, and those flowers are right out of a funeral home.
(I’m so mean; would totally get a kick out of seeing this live.)
Until I looked closer, I was very confused why the pianist was wearing a poppy. Wrong season.
I've seen a live pianist playing there plenty of times. And I've only eaten at the Rose & Crown once.
Isn't the Rose and Crown pub basically closed at the moment?

It hasn’t been at the front of the pub by the bar for some years - it was moved to the back by some tables and is not particularly popular mainly because few know the piano player is there. Putting them in Odyssey is an improvement over the current situation

Yeah, that backdrop and flowers are screaming October.

Not sure who makes some of these in park decisions anymore but those look like they came out of Haunted Mansion storage.

Pub side is still open all afternoon and evening for drinking. Dining room is just dinner and a smaller menu than they used to have, but aren’t all the WS menus smaller than they used to be…
I was a trite confuddled about why a non-Brit would be wearing a poppy out of season (it's not till October in the Commonwealth), figured it was someone in costuming who got confused - until I looked closer and realized I had no idea what that actually was!

I am in favor of live music, in any location, any time, on principle! However, to have a musician in one pavilion... themed to a different pavilion?
Unless they try to set this up as a "sneak preview" or "what's happening around the showcase" sort of rotation, it's a FAIL in my eyes.
Plus, I know phone microphones (and speakers) can be misleading, but that piano (and the playing) sounds very bright, brash, and harsh. I guess they don't want people parked under the AC too long. Chase 'em outta there!
Of course, the AC pretty much sucks everywhere in the parks anyway.

The piano is a keyboard (and a pretty cheap one too!) and always has been. As far as the theming, point well made - but it's been a sing-along catch-all for some years now, not just British songs! Sweet Caroline has been in the mix many a time

Ah, gotcha. Maybe they could spring for a new costume, then? And, as others have said, that autumnal glow is quite odd.
BAHM - Bahm - bahm!

saw this today (as well as rose and crown) - piano player was lots of fun singing anything kids requested including some obscure Disney songs I hadn’t even heard!
The audio mix and setup is terrible - the floral arrangement are from a funeral home. Weird.
But lots of fun!
