I can barely tell what’s depicted in the artwork.

They re just using a lot of artistic liberty to make it look bigger with higher ceilings

I'm sorry, but that concept art is an eyesore.

It’s all just kind of bothersome because the west side of Disneyland is perfect. Lock it up and make it a museum. Make it s historical landmark. And yet they re tinkering with it with Tomorrowland in its current state and DCA across the way.

Seems the shop will sell some original, more unique items.

There used to be a real antique shop in that area, where the Haunted Mansion, so that would be nice. Unfortunately, now all of the stores now sell the exact same ugly and generic merchandise in all of them.

Ideally I wouldn’t want what’s there to be replaced at all but if I had to choose a restaurant to lose for Tiana’s Palace, I think I’d go with Cafe Orleans.

Only because I never get to eat there. It’s one of those spots where walk ups seem to never be available and Arceus knows snagging reservations for spontaneous trips to the park is a pain.

If I’m not mistaken, they already have the two frogs from the film in a window display just outside the exit of Pirates for Cafe Orleans, right? Seems like a pretty safe bet.

I’d rather leave French Market untouched because it’s easier for me to just walk in and enjoy. Plus, when Mansion becomes Holiday, I enjoy the Nightmare decor, themed food and general music and ambiance while dining and staring out at the Mansion and courtyard.

Yep, I remember that shop. I’m guessing it didn’t sell much, but I could be wrong.

Disney’s merch sucks, for the most part.

Cafe Orleans already has Tiana and Naveen in a display in their window.

I like the water tower, and I don't mind removing the tree, in theory. But doesn't this kind of... I dunno, maybe I'm just seeing things...

Unfortunately, those appear to be Mama Odie's colored glass bottles inside the cave, not Dr. Facilier's ghosts.

Not that he couldn't appear earlier. I'd think they'd be fools to ignore "Friends on the Other Side" just because of silly 'canon timeline.' But they've been foolish like that before.

The story takes place after the movie. Facilier is gone by the end of the movie.

We shall see.

I’d be ok with them closing Club 33 and putting Tianas Place in there. What? I don’t ever get to go there anyway. I haven’t been there since I was 6. It’s weird that I remember eating there at that age as a kid it’s just a boring restaurant. The fancy carrots! That’s why I remember it.

As long as they do it before my visit. I’m supposed to be dining at 33 next month, if all goes according to plan.

Sound reasoning. I’d also add that if it goes in Cafe Orleans it would also see the least amount of change. Hungry Bear would require too much work and French Market isn’t set up for it. It has to be Cafe Orleans.

Tiana’s world is one in which people turn into animals, alligators can play trumpets and evil spirits can walk the earth.

But, I agree, let’s see what happens. Given that this company just released a movie where Pinocchio waterskis, I’ll be happy if this ride’s storyline is one step above “incoherent.”

While 100% true, he’s gone to “the other side”. If somehow we end up on the other side as well, even briefly for storyline sake, I don’t think it’d be too far fetched to see him again. Maybe the second major drop into the laughing place becomes the “other side” and we’re brought back just before the final lift into a Mama Odie segment?

Wishful thinking on my part since there’s concept art of Tiana in a boat suspiciously similar to the one currently used in the laughing place.. just saying that technically, we don’t know how things are going for the Doctor over there.

Well, you could almost say that about any animated movie, but when characters die, they tend to stay dead. Unless Facilier isn’t dead.

"Eudora's Chic Boutique Featuring Tiana's Gourmet Secrets."

I'm just going to let that title sit there. Really just rolls off the tongue, right?

I wonder if this is Disney being cheap or if the integrity of the ride can't withstand a house. Who knows, but seems kinda sad changes they want to implement won't be in it.
