PHOTOS - Furniture arrives at Storybook Circus D-Zone providing a nice place to rest and relax

[danlb_2000]

Explain how this is any sort of news? http://www.mouseonthemind.com/storybook-secret/ is a post from December with the same furniture. The photos are from late last summer. I really don't understand.

Because it's new to the operator of this site and as far as I know no one has ever posted about it here. It's definitely news to me and at least a few others here.

It's more like it's not new news, just new to them news. I have the same pics from early August.

Either way, now more people know about it.

"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.

It's clearly meant to be junk they had on the train. To me, it is on theme (whether or not you like the theme is a different issue) and it provides additional seating in the shade in the MK, something folks around here commonly complain about seeing a shortage of. Seems fine by me. Nothing remarkable but that could describe the FLE as a whole. It was meant to add capacity and seats further add capacity. My only confusion stems from how long it took the furniture to show up. Storybook Circus has been open for, what? 4 years?

Also, give Steve/wdwmagic a break. He runs the best Disney World fan site around.

I sort of understand the concept, but I have always seen Storybook Circus as an old fashion circus, so the older style furniture works, but I have a hard time with some of the more modern looking pieces.

You decided to join just to give the operator of this site a hard time about being late with a piece of news?

Yeah, I'm not going to get into it. The point has been made. I would imagine the article would be changed to reflect it.

It's news to me. I was just there in December and there was nothing there just benches along the sides

 

[Bocabear]

it looks like a yard sale...seriously. not saying resting places are not necessary, but this whole structure and seating area seems like a colossal waste of money....unless.... this is the placeholder for something to come they have not announced yet.... I thought originally this structure was built as a quick serve pavilion...food and beverage operation...
anyone know more?

 

[jakeman]

Does anyone have any pictures from say...August of last year...

Good news for parents who probably don't care what the space looks like. They sit and rest while the kids play in the water area. Or one parent rests while the other takes kids on rides.

Beyond that the theme is a circus. You know, train arrives, stuff is offloaded, tents are put up, circus in town, stuff put back on train, circus moves on. Looks like the right theming for a circus to me.

I get the "theme" but that looks bad. I sure hope no one put much time or money into that.

Overly themed bathrooms, and now overly themed siting areas?! I'm sure it is needed, but just seems like such a waste of nice space. I think I'd even rather see another gift shop than just "a place to sit". Move the BAH pins there or something.

You can't be serious...at all. Right?

You really don't enjoy shady places to sit at WDW? And beyond that, you don't find it nice to have courtesy electrical outlets?

Be gone, troll.

Whoever said Disney was cheap!

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.

So now, seating is bad? WDW has been hammered for not providing ample seating areas. They add a few, and that's bad?

Have you nothing better to do with your days? Go away troll.

Go away troll.

Disappear...disappear?

First of all:

1. The furniture HAS been there for months as many have said, as have the charging ports.
2. I'm sure this is news to most though
3. It's sort of pointless back there though because there's no major ride to draw anyone to that spot
4. If say, Pete's Silly Sideshow were to leave for a new E-ticket, this would be much more useful.

And this kids is why Disney gives little credence to it's most rabid fans.

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 don't get the complaining about putting in a seating area. This is probably the one area that is the most "kid themed." Are adults supposed to be exhausted all day in a do or die mode? This is probably the one area where kids can run around and be kids (under the supervision of an adult with them, of course), while the rest of the party can take a breather. I can't tell you how often I've heard of grandparents who go on these trips to enjoy watching their grandchildren have fun. Here, they can sit back and rest and do just that.

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

Alright then. Welcome to the boards.

And thanks for coming out.

Is there anything you kids won't fight about? It's just chairs in Disney world. Jeez.
