A picturesque addition to the Italy pavilion indeed. Thanks for the update! :wave:

Excellent! Hopefully the food will be as nice as the architecture.

YAY :sohappy:! I can't wait to go there!

 

[Pioneer Hall]

I like the architecture...a nice addition to the pavilion.

I tell you what...that wide shot of the entire pavilion from across the lake looks beautiful. This is a fantastic addition to the pavilion in terms or architectural beauty!

 

[JustInTime]

That is beautiful! It almost looks painted/fake. They are making the World Showcase top notch. Bravo.

It's not bad. The original plans would have been better, though.

Well, between Via Napoli and the Mexican cantina, I don't think they're doing too shabby a job right now.

What did it look like before? It's been many years since I've seen it, so I don't really remember anything other than the fountain.

 

[Mr. Morrow]

Looks amazing.

Just some random BEFORE pics I found on google:

Looks like it was just trees

 

[gerryu21220]

Thanks for finding those photos. Not at all how I remember it! :veryconfu

Now I'll have to try and find my photos, because I could have sworn there was a wall back there making it an enclosed courtyard. And not just a short, blank wall, but a tall one with something on it, like false facades or something. Amazing how the memories have faded.

Looks good...hope the pizza is just as tasty :slurp:

 

[BrerFrog]

It makes the surrounding area look much better!

There was a wall back there. But it was too low to have a noticable effect on the appearance of the pavilion from outside of it. You can kind of see it in the first picture that he posted.

Man I can't wait!

Looks great! It really helps complete the theme of the pavilion by creating a courtyard feel. :sohappy:

What were the original plans?

I think it really adds to the pavilion!

I'm concerned because all these pics are head on and it appears to be a 1-2ft thick facade (like the New York facades at the studio) hoping to trick the eye that it is a three dimensional building.

I hope this is not the case.
