I will say I think our mountain and barn came out looking much better than Orlando's. There's still technically time for Disney to screw them up but being this close to opening, I think I'm safe in forming that opinion.

Even the water tower looks nice when pictured next to Fowler's Harbor (though the Tiara is still "blegh"). Overall, I am liking the look of the outside so far.
-and while I am still not a fan of the Critter Country name change, mainly because Pooh seemingly makes even less sense there than before, I can appreciate that the Imagineers placed the "Children's Garden" portion of the queue directly across from Pooh's entrance. While not a perfect integration (not sure this was even intentional), with a bit of imagination I can imagine kiddos spending time in a place like that, then running off nearby to play stories like Winnie the Pooh. Sort of like the "many adventures" they go on coming to life around you as you cross that covered bridge and enter Pooh's queue.
A bit of a mental stretch, I know. But that mindset helps me dislike some of the changes they've made less.
