Just got back from Disneyland for the first time in seven years. I thought the Beauty and the Beast overlay of the Village Haus was temporary? It’s permanent now? The Pinnochio murals were beautiful, what the hell?
That live action movie really killed my previously positive perception towards Beauty and the Beast. Emma Watson was god awful in that film and it feels like it kick started this live action dribble from Disney.

It’s been permanent for years.

I could have sworn it was announced to be temporary. I missed the news that it was permanent.
Figaro erasure isn’t cool.

Your memory serves you right. It was supposed to be temporary, but minds were changed.
I miss Village Haus, too.

The overlay was somewhat permissible when the old menu was in place. That poutine flatbread was divine. Alas, now that the menu's been hollowed out and it's basically serving the same menu as what Village Haus used to have, there's really no point in it staying BATB. At this point, switch it back to Village Haus, keep the Grey Stuff, and call it a day.

It was announced as temporary, but I guess it was popular enough to stay....that or they just didn't want to spend the time/money to change it back. I don't remember there being any official announcement that it was going to remain permanent (but I could be wrong). It's just....still there.
Figaro is in Fantasy Faire, though I'm not sure if those animatronics have worked in a long time....or if they are even still there.

They have to prep for the Holiday fireworks show, so rather than it being completely dark they will run a projection-only show for a couple weeks as filler.

These were still there this summer, and no, they were not operational. It's THIS kind of thing that is just so disheartening about modern Disney. New, wonderful things get added to the parks, and then they are watered down (like original menus) or left to rot (like these fabulous animatronics). That whole area is under scrim and scaffolding right now (or last that I saw posted online, at least). Let's hope these two are still there when the scrim comes down and that they are operational again. It's sad that they were left non-functional for so long.
Where do I want some of that $60 billion to go? I want it to go into a budget for people and things that allow the parks to continually maintain show as it was intended by Imagineers.

I remember when the wicked site across the way was up in arms over the loss of the Carnation Plaza Gardens. “It’s ruining Disneyland history,” “Fantasyland shouldn’t be in front of the castle,” and a bunch of other dumb arguments. Turned out Fantasy Faire was one of the best additions to Disneyland this millennium, right up there with the Hungry Bear sign.

The weather has been absolutely beautiful. But you could also feel the seasons changing around you and the winter closing in on Alberta. Truly a magical place. I'm in Calgary now, returning home tomorrow, and what a gorgeous and fun city this is. It reminds me of Seattle in the 1970's, back when Seattle was clean and orderly and safe.

I mean is this any different than Marvel Super Heroes, The Muppets, and Star Wars? I agree with you though, those things just happen to be properties Disney owns and I don't like seeing them dilute the parks brand with all these things they bought.Seeing Disney acknowledge Fox IPs as their own is always so jarring. Lets bring him to Oogie Boogie Bash

The revitalized menu was great. They actually had really nice burgers and flatbreads as you mentioned. Then it just got dumbed down and worse.
This is my worry for Tiana and San Fran Tokyo as well. Seems Disney likes to get their good opening PR and then degrade over time.
Now you have situations like the Blue Bayou and Carthay menus being unrecognizable and IMO unappetizing.

All of those fall under the category of family entertainment. The Fly most certainly does not.

I disagree. The last thing Disneyland needed was more cartoons edging out variety. The area is well done, but I’d pick the return of a mellow dance and concert venue any day. The arguments against it were valid; it’s just a matter of what one wants from Disneyland. I’m not a fan of the cartoons barging into every area—and I LOVE classic animation.

I don't know why it feels different to me but it does. I think maybe all of the other things are individual ips where as Fox is just a collection of ips that they swallowed. Idk
