I hope the tieing up involves adding trees rather than taking them away.
I'd normally feel that way, but we literally have a sea of dozens of crepe myrtles where nothing but concrete and stone-cold marble once stood. The concept art pieces seem to have a treeless open base past this sea of trees. If we don't get the palms, I'd prefer this streamlined option. Would make the greenery cohesive and clean. And while they don't look great in my opinion at the base of SSE, they should totally be transplanted.

One great sightline and a million lost opportunities.
Fountain View- we've got fountains at home, why not give me a view of the world's only geodesic sphere.
Communicore didn't always obstruct the base from within the park, but they planted a mini-forest as a placeholder until it could.
Gateway gifts- if I am literally under the icon I want to feel like I'm in the park, not just a "gateway." Everything around the base should be leveled with new structures pushed back by Energy and Seas that can take advantage of the amazing view we only now enjoy in the entry plaza. Put the Starbucks there, put a restaurant there (and popcorn for me.) Let us sit relax and marvel at what has always worked at this park.

speaking of, any reason why there are ten or more castmembers at one time working in these little stores now? its impossible to look around or shop and seems way overboard, just wondering what the deal is. Is it necessary to have two or more at every single doorway?

maybe i shouldnt share this. Let me know if i need to delete it. When my nephew was like 3 he saw us putting stuff in the stroller.. wed buy something put it in the basket. So half way through our day in epcot i see him put something back there. Hed been picking up toys and putting them back there prob all day. I explained the situation to the cashier and gave them everything that he had taken. (he really didnt know, he was just doing what we did). And they thought it was funny and thought he was cute. So im sure it happens often.
