Or little kids smoking and parents passed out in strollers from drinking booze they Smuggled In strollers Mmm...
I bet these pics would excite Steve Davison lol.
I'm beginning to suspect you may be part of the problem. Do you often find that the path in front of you is always clear but there are tons of people behind you?
I don't get the desire for fountains. I've honestly never stood by the castle and said "the night show is lacking without fountains" ... lol. Very few guests could actually enjoy them and between maintaining them ... it's probably for the best MK doesn't invest in that. For once I agree with them in not pursuing it. I only saw Disney Dreams from Paris on YouTube so I can't speak to what it was like in person, I did enjoy the fountains then. I don't recall Shanghai's but the fountains don't do much for me. There's already enough going on I love a fountain show but jumping water with color and projections doesn't really thrill me. It's nice I guess.
I wouldn’t consider the addition of fountains being a major thing. More of a nice addition bringing the show out into the audience and around them like the perimeter fireworks. Unlike the other castle parks, MK has more water areas around the hub than just the sides of the castle.
They wont be installing fountains anytime soon, maybe for the 50th (if lucky), there is no need for them in MK.
Yes they are. They will probably be there until they have to replace the moat's bottom cement.The tracks in the bottom of the moat, does anyone know if they were from the original Swan Boats?
Am I the only one who is slightly sad to see this path widened? I rather liked the quiet, intimate and secret feel to it. It's one of my favorite paths since it's not typically crowded. I don't have a stroller, so maybe I like it being one of the few places I don't run into a thousand of them. I dunno, it just seems like before we know there will in fact be no more water surrounding the castle.
I love that little spot with the tables, just so relaxing, especially at night. There is a bottleneck there though, if more people start using this path.I don't believe they're cutting into the amount of water in this spot. Just draining the area to do some work. But I could also be wrong. I liked that path, very much. More so when they had actual trees on the right side (which they removed and replaced with small green plants). It was already sort of ruined for me when they did that. I do think it needs to be widened but I also liked it on the rare opportunity it wasn't packed. The sad reality is, the park is too busy to have small winding paths just like I completely understand Disneyland cutting some of their massive planters to free up a few inches of space on the walkway. It's just the reality. They need the room (Tokyo has like double wide paths .... lol which makes a lot of it very concrete heavy and hot it seems)
I also think the seating area as you turn the corner from the bridge to go up the path by Sleepy Hollow is very much in the way (the small area of seats before you go to the left for the main seating area). I wish they'd address that too ... they should replace the few tables with some benches ...
YesAm I the only one who didn’t know this walkway exists?
I agree. We sat in this area on our last trip, thinking it’d be a great vantage point for the parade. As soon as we heard the first float approaching, the area suddenly became gridlocked with people trying to watch, get food, and cross the parade route.I also think the seating area as you turn the corner from the bridge to go up the path by Sleepy Hollow is very much in the way (the small area of seats before you go to the left for the main seating area).

With all the pathway widening to ease traffic jams (MK/Disneyland), I’m a little concerned the parks are going to end up feeling like big, open parking lots. Narrow and winding paths make it more fun to wander and explore, and with the removal of planters and grassy areas, we seem to also be losing shade trees and places to rest.
