Wow, I haven't seen so many people complain about something so insignificant in my life. What did you expect them to do? I think it's safe to say that some of you have expectations set unreasonably high.
Don't get me wrong, I expect a lot out of Disney. I've been a Disney geek ever since I was a little kid and I only want the very best at WDW. But to get all worked up over a planter is insane.
And the connection to walmart is crazy. What is the big deal with planters? There are tons of them all over WDW. They spruce up the surrounding area. Sure, a nice fountain would've been really nice. But I'd rather see a planter than just pavement. But maybe they should remove all the pavement and replace it with something that would satisfy some of the people here. Would you like gold walkways in Fantasyland? What about dirt in Frontierland? That would go with the theme much better than stupid pavement...
