T-Rex didn’t live with Stegosaurus. It also didn’t have three fingers.

Story goes I saw Jurassic Park before I was even out so that might explain my obsession

You grew up when Dinosaurs were cool.
Back in my time I was a loner and an oddity.

Yeah looking at the concept art it should be fine? Area in yellow is where that picture was taken, area in red will likely have blocked views. Mind you some of that area is already blocked from tree cover. Concept art lies though, so take it with a couple grains of salt.
The photoshop seems to be more into the center pathway than the building actually is, and is flat instead of at an angle.

I can’t talk about scaling but I do think this could be more representative of footprint and location:

The Dreamer's Point building, in all art I have seen, looks to be higher than the monorail track by a considerable amount. However, built at the location you have circled, it looks like the only view of SSE from that side would already be obstructed by Imagination.
Is that how they have envisioned it working? I can't imagine they want to block views of the magnificent park icon, even from WS.
This isn’t dreamers point. This one is known as the events building for now.
Dreamers point is roughly the pathway currently due south of the Siemens lounge windows.

At least it'll block the BBB from WS. Lol

I guess I am confused as to what is actually Dreamer's point. I thought it was the fancy 3 story structure, is that not the case? Is Dreamer's point more of the area around the building where the "storytelling fountain" will be?
As I understand it the point will be a raised pathway looking slightly down towards what is today the pin store.
Will the EPCOT symbol which marked the geographical center of WDW back in 1982 survive the spine work?
When there are two-story buildings almost completely coming together to create a full circle, then there are going to be lots of places in which SSE is totally or partially occluded. The best view of SSE from the south has always been straight up the center, but even then, the triangle circus roof right in the middle of the hub has gotten in the way.
So, a three story building isn't going to be too different. The full occlusion of SSE from one angle will be offset by a better view of SSE from World Nature which will no longer have a two-story building in the way.

In my head there is a distinction between stories and floors. I would call the festival pavilion 3 floors but, to me, saying 3 stories implies a height that this building will definitely surpass.
Based on the concept art, the ground floor alone looks to be at least 3 conventional "stories" to me. Not to mention it has literal trees on the roof which, if scaled properly, show that this building will be quite massive.

Those trees definitely will not be there. They'd block the view of the fireworks. They'd be everywhere *but* the Southern exposure.

Why don't we ever get the concept art in real life? It is so pretty
