Is it an indoor garden for the butterflies? There's on in Indy that is so wondering what to expect.

I’ve never been (going for the first time next week!) but yes, I believe it’s a tented area you walk through with live butterflies.

Not reading particularly positive reviews of the food, unfortunately. Only a good eats so far.

there is this neat little garden (new to me) over in Japan (behind the bonsai trees) where water flows down bamboo troughs that move w/ the weight of the water to hit or activate things like a drum, wind chimes, tambourine, really neat stuff to watch and chill (for me anyway):

The Orange Bird merch has a 70s vibe. Groovy.

Lots of empty space sadly, I wish they would have done like they did with figment and have some of the history from the 70s of orange bird. They seemed to do the bare minimum here sadly.

I agree. Plenty of Orange Bird history.

They had extra once it was learned that BoardWalk guests do not want any more succulents. Also, there was a big sale at Lowe’s and Bob wasn’t willing to pass up on those savings.

Lowest prices of the season!

Real-talk: it’s because they run their spring festival well into 90-degree weather season nowadays, and the flowers look pretty ratty by July. Succulents can handle that weather better.

Apparently the jokes about the garbage cans becoming picnic tables became too much for Disney as they finally installed actual picnic tables. Here are two not used (in the bright sun currently).

World Showcase had picnic tables for years. Not many. In isolated areas.

Besides, all the cool kioskians grab their food and run to Morocco's secret covered patio and eat at tables.

Not anymore. They're in the central areas near all the food booths. About time.

Problem is most times they put these right in the hot sun so a lot of people still end up using a garbage can in the shade!
