Landscaping Downgrades at WDW

[Sweet tears]

Unfortunately for Disney a fair number of guests are now exploring ways to conserve and repurpose their vacation dollars.

Always an option

Or am I missing the Walt Disney quote “well we took away the elephants but we added the hippos so guests shouldn’t complain”

I believe the quote is “you can’t follow pigs with pigs… because pork is expensive. Put the oinkers behind a paywall and sell some exclusive wolf merch.”

The serpent is still there to the best of my knowledge. I’m not going to MK for at least a few days, but if you look on Google Maps that one is still in its place.

(Just wanted to point that out because it is a pretty cool topiary and might be hard to see when walking over the bridge, but nice nonetheless)

Speaking of the serpent, looks like they recently fixed the effect on it

Whoa!!!!! I never knew that effect was even broken cause I never saw it work.

Can we promote the topiary and muppets maintenance team to Everest and Rise of the Resistance please!?

Has Pooh been busy in the garden again?

I’m definitely still noticing this across the property. Sad there aren’t even flowers around the Partners statue currently.

There are a few places where landscaping is looking great - Epcot obviously for F&G and I also noticed the landscaping at Beach Club looked incredible (maybe to make up for the construction walls?).

Yep. There are a few areas that look great or even better than pre-Covid. But there numerous locations all across property that are still downgraded or neglected from pre-Covid standards. The entrances to all moderates for example still don’t have any flowers.

it seems whoever is on the team that tackles these things specifically is working their way around the resort little by little. There are still a ton of areas that need landscaping assistance. But I do think given the work we have seen get done that they will eventually get there. It’s just a slow process and it doesn’t seem to be happening in one concentrated area of the resort before moving onto another. They seem to be moving all over.
