How long until someone realizes how bad of an idea it was to paint those facade supports green? They are so noticeably bad when walking over from UK. Can't believe I'm saying this, but a little go-away blue would do wonders....

Wouldn't the fact that they used green suggest they will be using trees to mitigate that? I would think even if the trees were behind the pavilion, it would go a long way in camouflaging the supports

They’d have to put the trees on a roof. The trees would also mess with the original design as Paris isn’t know for the trees looming overhead.

I was thinking if they were planted essentially outside of EPCOT, like if they lined Avenue of the Stars with the trees, but I guess that might not be doable either whether due to space or the size of tree that would be required.

I think that was definitely a straightforward design error, wherein they didn't properly consider the angle of approach from UK. (Does anyone have a photo?)

Now it remains to be seen whether they will change the color. In the old days, it would have been certain. Today, not so sure...

Why is it even there? Anyone know?
My guess is, there is mechanical equipment inside such as HVAC, or maybe a hoist.

I don't think the door will be very noticeable given the angle it is at relative to people walking along to take the Remy ride. I assume they will be walking down the "street" toward the fountain and would have to look up at 45° over their left shoulder ... with trees in front.

The blue color I'm not so sure about. I don't know if that color is used much in Paris. It looks more like New England than France. Perhaps the designers were aiming to hit a slightly jarring color note in order to energize guests and keep them moving towards the ride. Compare for example to a Zen garden whose harmonious, subtle colors invite people to slow down and contemplate.
