Is there anything you kids won't fight about? It's just chairs in Disney world. Jeez.
No there's not, as a general statement.

But, it appears a new troll or two are vying for a bit of attention. Nothing we haven't seen on here a million times. I'm sure he/she will get bored soon and go away. :)

Seating areas are good, it's just done in a very lazy way and smacks of low budget and lack of ambition. How long did it take WDI to come up with the concept? Te minutes? Fifteen? I'd much rather see a highly themed train engineering shop, or a circus tent, or something to indicate it's a real place rather than just a few cheap benches and old chairs.
I guess you and I must have went to different circuses.

The back stage seating in the average circus tent was made up of anything they could find. They did not go to Ikea and pick out a few nice pieces of lounge furniture. They grabbed lawn furniture, crates and pretty much anything a person could sit or lie on.

Most people don't seem to be complaining about the addition of a seating area, they seem to be complaining about the execution.

Well, again, what "execution" do people want in a circus theme? It's supposed to look temporary with furniture offloaded from a train. Can someone clarify? What is it that WDW is supposed to do to satisfy these people?

Ok, so it's the execution you don't like? not the idea of having seating? Because in your original post, it seemed like you didn't like that Dis was adding seating.

What with this and the astroturf, Disney is going all out on building places for people to sit and do nothing while they wait for their Fastpass times and contemplate how much better it feels to have paid $100 to sit in one of those chairs rather than doing the same thing in a local Starbucks or whatever.

This person should stay away from Harembe and Asia in AK, then. Looks too cheap even if faithfully reproducing those areas around the world. Can't have that.

"The Storybook Circus rest and relaxation area in the Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland has finally come to fruition this week as tables, chairs and other props are now in place in the yellow tent." -- From the article. It's misinformation. Shoddy journalism at best, misleading at worst.
You're welcome to start your own site and report on the news from WDW. If you haven't already....

So we are supposed to complain when Disney doesn't worry about theme-ing (say, Swan and Dolphin seen from World Showcase) AND when they do go overboard with theme-ing (as they always have and should...think Tangled bathrooms)...I can't keep up.


Edit: And I'm glad they are adding areas like these if unpopular areas. Try finding a place to charge your phone in the Tangled area during a peak time or really any afternoon. I stood out in the rain charging my phone behind the Storybook Circus Train Station because there were zero open spots to charge at the Tangled Bathrooms on the way to get my funnel cake from Sleepy Hallow and on the way back. Disney needs more areas like this.

Oh, and news flash, YOU don't have to sit here when YOU pay $100 to get into the park for a day. But OTHERS may want to use these areas when THEY pay THEIR $100 to get into the park.

I except just as much thought to go into the themeing of a seating area in the back of a park, as goes into the latest E-Ticket attraction. Attention to detail is what Disney parks were built on.

Little out-of-the-way places to sit in the shade and recharge your batteries (literally and figuratively) are a rarity at WDW. I'm glad this one now has some additional seating -- I just wish they'd call it something other than a D-zone. That sounds like a poor attempt at an insult, like something I'd have stammered at a bully when I was in middle school. :)

I asked rhetorically in another post. All I hear is complaining. What is your execution plan? What thought have you put into it?

I'm just mad that Disney never sticks to theme. THIS is what real carnies sit on Disney! Get it right.

As I said in another post, Storybook Circus has the feel of an old time circus to me, so it's the more modern furniture that is throwing things off for me. If they had just stuck with older furniture and maybe more crates and circus equipment it might have worked better.
