Hold the MF phone. I thought HOB affiliations made bro club participation null and void!?

First of all, it's the BRUH CLUB, not bro. Gotta get that right my Constance.

Second, it's actually the other way around. HOB can never be a part of the Bruh Club, but the BC is the decision-making backbone of the HOB. I know it's not fair, even sexist, but I don't make the rules, I just enjoy them.

I had no intentions of playing the sexist card. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go silently weep in the corner.

LOL. I’m going to have to agree with Bruh in crime here. We created the HOB and we can take it away!

And yet didn't Walt Disney request everything look pristine?

Not sure about this brickwork to be honest; seems unnecessarily wide and blends too much with the sidewalks. Is it just me?

I feel like it could have been at least 8 inches closer to the tracks on each side. I don’t like when the different bricks are right next to each other like certain parts of the hub. In person though it’s less noticeable with everything else competing for your attention. The new bricks will also fade in time.

OK, let's do this again. If you have observed the Red Car Trolley in DCA in operation you will see a CM walking in front asking people to step off the bricks. The width of the brickwork is set to give a buffer outside the width of the Trolley. The difference in color from the sidewalks on Main St. is so that Parade CMs can advise guests waiting for the parade to "stay on the 'red bricks'".

Dammit I know this. Does this mean I can’t have an opinion on how it looks?

Comments on YouTube seem to confirm that the horse-drawn streetcar will still turn right when it approachs Town Square, but has been reversed to turn left when approaching the Hub. Don't know if I reported this earlier, but I heard a rumor that they did this for the horses. It gives them more even exercise and equal wear on their horseshoes. Yay! The horses deserve some love after being sent so far away.

Saw this for myself while in the park yesterday. They have indeed reversed the switch for the approach to the Hub. Nice to see most of the walls down on Main St. A CM friend told me they have been training the horses backstage.

Very interesting! I wonder if they've made this change in WDW and Paris too?

Disneyland, WDW and Paris are the only Castle parks with horse-drawn streetcars, and interesting that it took them 62 years to make a change like this.
