Looks nice, almost like it was always meant to be like this. I'd call it a good expansion.

Hopefully they’re still planning on theming that blank wall that will be right in front of guest view

I'm glad they added some fairly mature trees in that area. What a difference some landscaping makes. Adds a improved sense of dimensionality to the facades behind them.

Sorry I know this has been asked many times already, but what's the best guesstimate of when this will open? June/July or before possibly? I'm deciding between the Florida resident Silver or Gold annual pass and Silver is blacked out June/July but if it's opening before that then I'll get it and save more money haha!

I know no one knows for sure right now I just wanna know the best guesstimate we got right now!

Summer does not begin until June 21st, and mickey is opening first. I don’t expect this ride until July/Aug honestly.

Trees have been removed that run beside the fountain leading to Impressions...

I know it is a small loss but as a landscaping nerd, I am extremely disappointed with this decision if there are no replacements on the way.

New ones will be installed next year.

So clickbait sites are wrong that they're gone for good? It wasn't to free up more space to walk? Didn't they just move them from the courtyard to the walkway to Rat? lol. But they did cement in the places for the trees, not that it can't be undone, of course.

When Disney says summer, they mean by June 30.

Is that what’s being said? As I understand it new ones will return in the spring.

Well, certain ones are saying that (their agenda and all, I suppose) ... but that was my general impression.

I'm thrilled they'll be adding them back.

They do that sort of stuff all the time. Sometimes the trees just grow too big for the location so they remove them for reuse somewhere else and then new ones return with appropriate scale. And those had indeed grown a little too large for the location.

The removed trees are just fine growing in a beautiful farm in upstate New York.

Indeed.

You have to remember as they get taller the roots also get longer.

Well I can't wait for this to open in Epcot, but I'm even more excited to experience it this week in Paris.

Enjoy! It's a very well done area. Very picturesque, I wish I had taken more pictures of the area, both during the day and at night.

Good to hear! I was legitimately very disappointed!

Yeah. Last time I visited the park I noticed that those trees in particular had been seriously mismanaged, but that seems to be a regularly occurring theme throughout the whole resort. Maybe this is a step in the right direction!
