Intersting idea. It doesn't look bad at all. I only question the need for a character themed play area at the Grand Floridian. Do we also need a play area themed to "Donald's Vacation" at the Wilderness Lodge or a Buzz Lightyear play area at the Contemporary? I victorian themed play area would have been just fine....if it's possible to have a Victorian-themed Play area.

I like it! I think it's a great home for Alice...
LOL...Hmmm begs the question..did Disney offer our own Mad Hatter a permanate home at the GF?
Applying that same theme to the adult area would be taking it too far, but since it is the kids area I would give it a pass.

I like it, I think it fits in pretty well. Lets face it, all those kids play splash areas look gaudy no matter where you put them. At least this one has colors that blend in (they are not bright and flashy), and the tea pot, saucers, and top hat are all kind of Victorianesque.

For a kids playground it needs something of interest for them - this seems a very good balance to me.

It'll certainly take the hoity-toity-ness out of the area.

It's looking very nice so far. I like the muted colors of the theme for this kids play area. When finished, they should take it one step further and offer a Tea Party event with Alice once a day for the little ones. I believe they had a princess tea party at one time.

I think this is perfect. Carroll goes with the era of the GF... it goes with the existing Tea Party... and it's a little something for children in the reserved atmosphere of the GF. Fantastic idea, and I have faith that the result will be tasteful.

Very nice!
I must have seen it listed somewhere, but I thought it was a Princess tea party.

You're correct - they also have the Perfectly Princess Tea Party.

I love it! There are so many great things happening to WDW lately.
I have always thought doing some Mary Poppins theming to the resort would be a great idea to.
When is this expected to open?

I like it! I doubt it will be too bright and flashy and will have enough Victorian style whimsy to make it fit with the GF -- goes along with Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare and the Tea Party with Alice and Mad Hatter. But then again, we are a little biased when it comes to Mr. Hatter.
