There are actually a LOT of new trees and flowers. The FP viewing areas are the only place with the artificial grass.
PS: There are two FP areas...East and West.

I don't know when you booked, but the hub refurb was announced about a year ago. I'll grant you that reservation booking agents are seldom in the loop when it comes to park operation, but there are other sources of info (like this website and others).

I have seen many asking questions about the crane next to Cinderella Castle. It is currently scheduled to be up until March 12, 2015.

Is this really all it takes to ruin your Disney experience? If it is then I can't imagine you have ever done a Disney trip when something didn't ruin it.

The really bad news is the darn crane, when fully extended, towers over the castle by at least a third of the castle height. I had business that took me on Reams Rd this morning that runs just behind the MK and the top of the castle and the crane can be seen clearly.
The last I heard from a MK manager is that the east side FP viewing in front of the Crystal Palace is on schedule to open for guests Feb 27

I am going next month and I kind of hope the tarps are still up. We have plenty of pictures in front of the castle and it would be amusing to have one in front of the tarps instead. (I would feel bad for other people who don't want a joke-castle-tarp picture though.)When I went to Disneyland and saw this it didn't upset me cause I knew it needed to be done. I'll see the castle next time when it's looking better

In theory, yeah, it sucks that something is down and closed and not part of your "list of things that you did".... but I would think that the experience of being there, in the middle of the excitement, is pretty hard to quantify. We're all Disney fans. We all get THAT FEELING when walking into Disneyland/Magic Kingdom/EPCOT/Your Favorite Here. It's pretty hard to ruin that, despite what's closed/has a crane on it.
That would be epic. Totally serious. Now I want more fountains.I heard the fountains shoot up like in the World of Color viewing area fountains

Or covered in scaffolding.
Anyone still want to complain about that crane?
Oh, wow. Now that's something.

To be fair, they did wrap it in a photo realistic scrim. But that was the view for a while in Tokyo.

It's practically what's going on in Disneyland right now.
