If you look at the concept art map view it clearly looks like leapfrog fountains...any place what can be played with becomes a splash pad... it just does. I have no reason to believe it will be like Swiss Family Robinson... None of the concept art looks like that....
If Disney doesn't want people to say it is going to be another splash pad and diaper wash, they should actually release some details of what it is going to be...not a few vague images of a waterfall and leapfrog fountains...

Do you have me on some sort of forum speed dial??!
It's not a splashpad.

still sounds like a choke point, it would be better if they had put this to the side. But hopefully im wrong
We'll have to see the final setup, but it seems to me that at the least you will be able to bypass it by going straight west towards the Land and then north to the Seas if desired. And there might be a more direct path bypassing it anyway. It's a good amount of space there so I would be surprised if JoW takes up everything (at the very least simply because I don't think Disney will pay to build such a giant landscaped area with fountains).

Looks like it is using maybe 1/3 of the square footage of Communicore west. It's proximity to The Living Seas is important IMO. I think the mouse is not showing us many details yet. But Lee or someone like that said we should not make assumptions and that there is more that we haven't heard about.

I’m not getting excited until a Zach Attack on Instagram where he uses archive photos to explain the parti of water.

I’m not sure why after the concept is released and construction begins...they have to ask you again and again?
It’s like turning on the bat signal when an old lady has her purse stolen on the subway
Looks like one...but now we can see what the shovels say?

I think he is currently researching the photo archives to create an Instagram carousel that highlights the fact that Walt Disney himself drank water!

Don’t you dare tell me it isn’t a splash pad. I don’t care if there are fences. If I want a splash pad, I’ll make it a splash pad!

I'm not defending this or Play! I would have loved to see better concepts come to fruition. But I also cannot deny that clearly these two things are aimed at a younger audience. When I was at WDW in 2018 with my nephew, he basically could have spent the entire day at the leaping fountains at Imagination. Sometimes the simple things are what fascinate kids the most. Again, I will say I wish other things were green-lit instead of these choices, but I can't deny that the kids will most likely love them. At this point the most we can hope for is that these ideas are executed well, because it seems like full steam ahead on both projects.
