More space for the pin cart

Don't be so over-dramatic...



...It's a DVC cart...:lol:

You know, I wouldn't necessarily mind the stage if they removed the extra section at the back that covers part of the fountain. There are at least 1/2 dozen of the perimeter jets that are under cover and don't fire.

At least make the stage modular so that if they needed to, they could install that section on a temporary basis (and turn off those jets), but remove it the rest of the time.

If you look at an aerial photo of the plaza, you can see where the decking over the fountain is a different color than the rest of the stage.

Now that I didn't know! I guess that's why the show always looks a tad empty to me when viewing from that side...On the side closest to SSE you don't have that problem.

We can live in hope. Here`s the stage covering the fountain, with the jets highlighted:

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if they took the stage away, they probably figure that they can sell more PhotoPass that way.

Ooooo I'm lovin this bit of news about the FoN! I thought it looked pretty good In November. I can't imagine how nice it will look after this refurb - the walls seem to indicate this is something rather extensive, not just a quick touch up. Can't wait to see the improved fountain.

 

[disreport]

Hard to believe I'm excited about a fountain......but I am.

 

[Roxas]

I hope it's fixed by my trip in early april, surely it won't take 3.5 months though, right.


(Thinks about SSE refurb)

....I cant wait to see the fountain on my 2025 trip

Do I sense a FoN Tribute?:lol:


I would watch it.

Hmm...Water flowing over a fountain embedded with people's images? Not bad...

Sounds like a Maya Lin memorial.

Huh...Didn't think of that. :lol: I guess it was my subconscious?:lol:

It's going to be a WAND fountain!

My son - 3yo - is watching me read this thread and he said, "Hey Mom . . . a geodesic sphere . . . WITH CHOCOLATE!" You are bringing joy to my son!

Your 3 year old uses the term "geodesic sphere?"

My husband made sure he could say it when we went in July/August and quizzed him on our September trip. He now says it every time he sees SSE. My husband did not want him referring to SSE as "the ball".

That is hilarious. :lol:

As I was people watching the other day, I discovered just how many people call SSE "the ball". :brick:

Even some CMs call it the ball or the golf ball.

Has anyone seen my ladder up there???

They've stolen it again from my garage... :lookaroun

So I thought, maybe they needed it again for some refurbishment...
