That's because it is the name of the "Tomorrowland" in Disneyland Paris. :wave:

I know that.

I think it looks great and I hope its not just for the festival. This is exactly the kind of landscaping they need to add to Future World (especially the east side) to give it a little more life and ease up on the concrete and late 70's looking benches and amenities. The area between Spaceship Earth and the fountain, for example, is practically barren and feels like a trek through the desert.

I love Future World, but it lacks atmosphere. World Showcase has it and I think that has a lot to do with the lush landscaping. Look at how people rave about the landscaping at Animal Kingdom. The little nitches at the Magic Kingdom are considered magical, yet FW has few. I think it's a critical element missing from Future World and I don't think adding some new landscaping will take anything away from the place.

I'm all for the name change too, though I think they should make it Discovery World instead of Discoveryland, especially as the latter's already being used in Paris and not for a former FW either. Drop Future (which makes no sense anyway) and add Discovery (which makes perfect sense).

I like it...although it does seem to clash with the rest of Future World. They need to do something with those concrete lakes by JIM and LS. Those rocks are all green and nasty and they JUST had a rehab in Jan-Feb. They need something to "spice" them up, even fish would help break up the institutional concrete look.

All I know is they used one of my favorite Epcot resting spots...I had many nice naps on those benches. Those nice naps are now a thing of the past.

Need a nap? Head to Universe of Energy. The movement of the vehicles will rock you to sleep in no time. :lol:

I am almost positive that it will be removed after Flower and Garden. Sorry, but I was too busy to take a pic of it, I will try and get it ASAP.

There is also something for the kiddies near the hot dog stand by Test Track, but you all have to wait and see.

From patrick's pic, it looks like it to me...doesn't look like a permanent "water feature"....looks nice though...

I think you all are missing the obvious. This is only a temporary addition. This as well as many other features will be added for the Flower and Garden Festival. It is not Discoveryland, just the 11th annual F&G Festival.

I agree. It does look temporary and looks like they used the same elements from last years little pond they set up near Living w/the Land.
