I think I know how Disney can distract people from a prolonged drained moat..Just looking at today's pictures of the empty moat. If they let it continue to flow it could be another attraction, a lazy river. Looks so similar to Typhoon Lagoon drained.
What moat?I think I know how Disney can distract people from a prolonged drained moat..

Giggle. You don't think I picked this particular photo by accident do you?

Can they add the trees back to the hub, way too much concrete.

Have you not read all 37 pages? If we have to suffer through, than so do you.

Right now the moat is drained completely yes? I know some of the water is returning but my question is "will the water be gone until it's completely and then returned"?

then you do not have the answers you are looking for... they are above^^^^^. they are planting trees in containers, to keep them a uniform height and out of the projectors path. no large trees are going into the central hub area.

No, it won't.
The upgrade to Main Street is needed. My family witnessed an accident here after the fireworks on Friday night's first show 2/28/14. (This was our first trip here.) Crowds of people were leaving the ramp/circle area and people were coming the other way to go to the next fireworks/castle show. So people traffic was crazy to say the least. To add to that, the area was not well lit. Walking on/off the sidewalk was tricky also.
We saw a woman miss the sidewalk curb and trip onto the street face first. Someone behind us asked her if she was ok but she didn't respond. Hopefully she got help (a food kiosk was nearby with workers) and who knows what injuries she had. I was and am disturbed by the incident and pray the woman is ok.

And here people were upset they removed some curbs ...
But seriously, I hope she's OK.

There is a reason many theme parks got rid of curbs as much as we may like them. Most theme parks I have visited that were styled after Disneyland with a "Main Street" paved their road level with the curb/side walk in recent years.
I was hoping for a drunken lazy river around the moat that way the Magic Kingdom can compete with Drunky Town.I think I know how Disney can distract people from a prolonged drained moat..
All joking aside it would be amazing to run around the moat.

Empty moat = additional standing areas for firework-watching? (I don't want that to happen, but maybe Disney can sell that open space as FP+ viewing until they refill the moat?)

I witnessed something similar during a halloween party in Town Square in 2004; thats why the curbs were removed. The woman broke her hip, sadly.

That's awful. I know I'm not that old yet (only 27) but I've found that the older I've gotten, seeing someone fall is no longer as funny as it was when I was a teenager. Heck, even when I fall I don't chuckle anymore. Ouch!

I think the area is supposed to have showers today.
