I have not visited DL in about 18 months so I might have missed the discussion of this, but when did the "Corner Cafe" Green archway on the north end of the Coke Corner facade get removed? I noticed it was gone in a Youtube video from the fall of 2019 (I was trying to get my Disneyland fix watching tour videos of the park). Looks like a permanent change as the patio tables were rearranged in the area and there appeared to be more tables as well. Victim of Project StarDust?

It did disappear back in fall, 2019 but as I remember it wasn't a victim of Project StarDust. It has disappeared in the past to be refurbished, and then returned. It's not permanently anchored into the ground, it's designed to be removed along with the planters at its base. And the planters at its base were still in the same place after it was removed, which would negate any improvement in crowd control or pedestrian flow they would have gained by removing it.

The aerial video shot back in April showed the planters still there in the exact spot, but the arch still missing. I wouldn't read much into that though, since all refurbishment and construction work was stopped on Disneyland. The Carousel in Fantasyland is still under its tarps, for instance, even though that refurbishment was supposed to wrap up by now. The refurbishment of the Coke Corner arch probably isn't at the top of the "Must Do" list for them right now.

Slight tangent but I do have to laugh that the person took someone else's youtube video, added music, and just reposted to her site. Yeah, she gave credit in the comments but seems like a $hi**y way to get views on your page (all 331 of them).

Edit: TP2000 has linked to the original video in his post.

She didn't even add the music. It's literally just an excerpt from the original video.

Yes, it is a gem. And it just sits back there, looking so fabulous, and then it starts playing and it gets even better.

It always amazes me how it can be so ignored by everyone shopping in that store.
