I totally agree. Would’ve been perfect!I think we were all expecting an artificial tree similar to Tarzan's treehouse tree. This one looks like the same species of tree that stood in the Pirates queue and outside of Indiana Jones. I'm surprised they didn't plan three or four of these in that area. You see these everywhere at Disneyland.
How come they couldn't just copy this one?
That kind of tree would never have those kind of roots. I've never seen a tree that had roots wider in circumference than the trunk.
Come back in 50 years.That kind of tree would never have those kind of roots. I've never seen a tree that had roots wider in circumference than the trunk.
It still won't. That species doesn't get much wider.Come back in 50 years.
It is just an expansion pad anyway. The only reason it is there is for additional queue space and Disney cheeping out on building a new structure.I mean sure but it's a land about cartoons I don't think realism is the goal. If anything the whole tree should've been fake tbh. I think this will be cute when it grows though.
I particularly liked this photo of a Toontown CM just before park opening this past Saturday.

Flip the colors and make the pants shorts, and you're looking at the standard ride op uniform at Cedar Point and other Cedar Fair-run parks (can't remember offhand if Knott's uses the standard Cedar Fair uniforms or not).I think I finally figured out what bothers me about those CM costumes- they're gaudy and cheap versions of everyday clothes. There's probably 100 dads wearing those exact shoes in the park. And the material looks flimsy and artificial.
I'm not expecting Italian wool or anything here, and if one compares the Haunted Mansion costumes from say the '80s to now it is apparent that the material is cheaper in the modern iterations- but these Toontown ones just look bad.
I like a lot of what I've seen of the redone ToonTown, but the Dreaming Tree or whatever is just hilariously bad. It reads like something they planned out and then forgot about, and as it got close to the opening they had to scramble and ended up with this.
Looks good to me, it will be fun to watch the tree grow through the years. TT looks like a homerun refurb, can't wait to check it out next month! Hopefully the treehouse is open soonI particularly liked this photo of a Toontown CM just before park opening this past Saturday.

Yes! Not only do I remember it, but I remember when Michael Eisner said publicly there would be a Dick Tracy dark ride built at Disneyland.
EDIT: Um... so we can now type Dick Tracy on this site? Can we also now type the name of Disney Legend, Dick Nunis?
EDIT 2: Oh my gosh! The naughty word software got fixed! We don't have to call him Richard Nunis any longer! Hooray for maturity!
Some other words were also de-censored. But 'Dyke' is still censored and cannot be used by anyone.Hooray!
We can now FINALLY talk about Dick Van D. after all these years!
Bert from ‘Mary Poppins’…you know, that guy!
Hurrah!
Oh wait…
( looks above…)
Scratch that, the last part of his name is still ‘censored’ I see…
Dick, we still remember ya.
Someday, we will be able to type out your entire name.

I suppose the look of this area doesn't matter as it's fate is to be covered in strollers, right?
My hot take (from watching videos) :
Those costumes are terrible. When I see a cast member in the crowd, my immediate thought is "woah.. what's that guy wearing?". Only after staring for a few seconds do I realize it is a cast member. I'm not sure what they were going for with those outfits, but I doubt it was that.
