The previous Laughin’ Place Playground has been turned into stroller parking:

I actually prefer this rather than having strollers all over the front of the attraction. At least these are out of sight now.

What exactly is this supposed to be?

Mobile Order pickup for Tiannas hot sauce. $29.95.

And certainly not made in an employee owned food cooperative.

The TBA sign looks far too modern and clashes with whatever time period/aesthetic the ride is going for.

It looks very New Orleans-ey

Who cares! It’s got Bayou Magic!

Aren’t those just the Splash Mountain costumes with added hat and neckerchief?

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

Question for anyone at the park today or @wdwmagic - are walls down around the queue and replaced with planters, or is it still walled off?

2020's New Orleans-ey or 1930's New Orleans-ey?

Yes, but NOT 1920s Jazz Age New Orleans-ey, which takes it out of the story it's supposed to be telling.

The outdoor mural and even the stroller parking sign also fail miserably by that measure. There just seems to be a lack of thought and care for the theming throughout.

While I understand your point and agree in principle of having the strollers out of the way, putting strollers in that exact location sends the signal of caring more about strollers than having a play area for children.

I see now. We just need to wait for the Florida sun to weather the sign, then it will look 100 years old and will fit just fine. Now that's some forward-thinking by the suits in Burbank!

Eh, I understand the decision with this. It makes some sense.

Vacation? She's already waiting for her next assignment around a classic WDW ride that she can re-theme into something... else.

LOL, I'm not saying it needs to look OLD. It just needs to look like a shiny new attraction sign would have in the 1920s, and the motifs, fonts, and colors they've used ain't it, although they'd make a lovely decoration for Party City to sell for $19.99 in its Mardi Gras section.

This is Old Fart Deco instead of Art Deco.

I'm with you, trust me.

I'm sure this sign was designed and approved by the finest recent college graduates in Burbank. All is well.

Dear lord I hope this is sarcasm.
