That was kind of the problem with Illuminations barges too. Except they was too small for the scale of the lagoon but not so small that it was unnoticeable. I'm waiting for the new fireworks show to draw any conclusions.

Thank you. I needed that today.

I did always find the barges a hindrance of the sightlines. So if something has to be there why not make it worth the trouble and make a spectacle worth the sacrafice? If the show is a dud then that's a different story.
What about before they were brought out ?

It was also a big bottleneck with clogged pathways

You liked the millennium canopies and pin store?
Oddly the canopies only blocked my view of the sky.

It blocked SSE from several angles too
Yup. Not nice.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
I liked the canopies, probably because I don’t remember them not being there (I was there before them, just don’t recall that space), but I enjoyed the patterns they made on the concrete, and they always said Epcot to me.
It wasn’t until I joined this site that I realized that my enjoyment of them wasn’t universally held.

Of course but it always impacted the views at dusk and at night. I thought they should remove the globe to Disney Springs when it got announced.

Well, part of the issue is that it wasn't just a giant piece of concrete before the canopy was there.
Yep, if you were directly under them, the canopies would definitely have blocked your view looking up.

You are really grasping at straws now.
I know, right? Those trees just had to go, plus the ponds. Such a waste of space, it's better to have vast expanses of concrete so the lemmings can stream out of park after the movie-clip show on the water.

Nah from showcase plaza and certain WS pavilions too
The canopies blocked your view of SSE from WS? In all my trips over the past 20 years I can recall exactly zero instances of that happening.
Is it "World Grasping At Straws Day" today, or is it just in this thread?

I didn’t say blocked completely, I meant it obscured parts of it.
