The women in my family had a strict rule for all of us kids as we entered our teenage years. No one over the age of 12, especially young ladies, was allowed to sit on the ground/floor in public in front of strangers.

The thought was, and it's quite true, that the human body does not look attractive when plopped on the ground. Sitting on the ground spreads hips and thighs, curves backs, slumps necks, and makes legs and arms go all akimbo. Clothing is ruined, tailoring is impossible to manage as your body contorts into bends, and you just look like a giant blobby sea creature stranded on the sand.

This picture reminded me of that. No one, even fit and slender people, looks attractive when they sit on the ground in public. And if you are the least bit out of shape, or worse, you look absolutely inhuman and shapeless. A stranded sea cucumber washed ashore.

Couldn't they put some benches and picnic tables out in this AstroTurf park??? They want people to sit on the hard plastic grass?

Nevermind the green carpet, what's the darkened area in the lower-left half of this photo? Something I don't remember seeing in Toontown before!

I dont know about the thinking people look bad sitting on the ground point of view nor was i raised with very strict do not sit on the ground rules. I think this looks great, and in a couple years those trees will grow and it will be even better imo. It looks like a real park in a real toontown

It was just in public. It makes you look dumpy and slumpy when anyone who is not a child sits on the floor in public. This is why there are benches and chairs in waiting areas, instead of just AstroTurf.

It's a standard I've maintained into aged adulthood, and when I see other adults flopped on the ground looking like a stranded sea cucumber I chuckle and remind myself how wise the matriarchs were in my family. Smart women!

Do you really? I think it looks odd. And unfinished. And obviously lacking any street furniture or comfort amenities; picnic tables, benches, etc.

I almost think that something else was supposed to happen here but it got lost in the mail or is on backorder.

This is just not good enough for Disneyland, especially at a cost of $100+ per day per park.

I am old and sit on the ground all of the time. Yoga style crossed legs, with a straight back because slouching hurts.

That's really bad. I don't want to sit on the ground because it's dirty and full of dirt and germs. I would not want to lay down on the ground in Disneyland.

Imagine how much vomit, dirt, germs, baby excrement, and food will have touched that astroturf day after day. Why can't they have more benches and tables and give parents and kids somewhere nice to sit that isn't the floor.

I know my parents would not be good with me laying down on the floor at a themepark. I'm sure most parents also feel the same way.

Maybe the 20 year olds will enjoy looking trendy while laying in dirty germ filled astroturf, but not me.

I'm not sure that their benches and tables are much cleaner than the ground.

ETA People don't change diapers on the ground.

Hub "Grass" at Magic Kingdom has been quite popular since that was installed, people chill and hangout on it all the time.

I expect ToonTown "Grass" to be equally a popular spot for people to chill out for a bit.

So I was watching the opening day ceremony video from the perspective of how the music loop may or may not have changed:


This video features "The Mickey Mouse Club March" playing as Mickey and Minnie show up, and when the ride officially opened, they played the theme for the Goofy cartoons!

I say this as someone who is concerned that the music loop for the land might have changed. I've seen enough videos on the area surrounding the ride to suspect that the music (up to now based on the old cartoons) might have been altered, as I don't recognize any of the music now, except for the closing theme for the Mickey Mouse series (which plays as a full song in "The Adorable Couple") and "The Mickey Mouse Club March". However, the usage of the Goofy theme at the end of the opening ceremony leads me to hope against hope that it will be shown in the newer music loop of the land. In fact, it was once used in the land (though it had been cut years ago).

The grassy area doesn't look the best when it's empty, but it's blowing up on social media and people are using it to relax and be social. I can't really be angry about it when people are clearly embracing it and most of what it replaced was a lot of concrete. Green space, even fake green space, isn't the worst thing in the world.

I was sad about the fountain initially, but then I realized that when I think "Toontown Fountain", I think of the one closer to Mickey's house. Do we know if that one's still there? The one that has clearly been replaced is one I had completely forgotten the look of TBH.
