Tropical Hideaway Construction - Tiki Room Refurbishment - Adventureland Entry Remodel

[Old Mouseketeer]

The lift is not feasible with all the other changes to the area, including adding tropical hideaway.

And the lift breaks down. On my last visit with my late mother ca. 2007, the lift was broken and Mr. Lincoln hadn't reopened. I didn't know about the wheelchair boat on Small World back then. Fortunately, we had a lovely lunch at Cafe Orleans (she got one last Monte Cristo) and perfect viewing of the Tiana show on the Mark Twain directly in front of us, so it was still a magical day.

The ramps are an improvement and the esthetics are fine for a retrofit. The path of entry and exit for wheelchairs is more closely aligned with that for abled guests--always preferable.

Disney just needs to add more lava rock planters (and the foliage that comes with that) along the outside railing of the ramp, and decorate the bamboo wall more.

And the Dumbo wall just needs some shrubs/ trees/ ivy. Still waiting though.

 

[mickEblu]

The ramp is really bad too.

Lol

Thank you, that lift was a temporary thing in my opinion that lasted way too long. The ramp will allow constant access without breaking down.

Would it blow your minds if I told you there was always a cheap looking bamboo wall there but y'all just never paid attention?

Props, plants and theming help a lot. Just a blank bamboo wall is jarring (ie the blank blue wall behind Dumbo).

I'm still struggling as this photo is completely different vantage and doesn't even looks towards the ramp. But it looks like they pushed the wall back a couple of feet as well?

My biggest issue is the lack of trees encroaching on the left. They need something taller in that plantar in the middle of the ramp.

I don't honestly think I'd notice they changed it if not for this thread, but I'm not an AP.

The ramp isn't that bad, honestly. It just really needs more plants.

Ok I’ll admit I wasn’t sure if there was already a bamboo wall there. Point is they re missing all of the finishing touches and doing quick fix jobs across the park. The trees etc in your picture are butted up against the bamboo wall. That doesn’t appear to be possible now that the planter is in the middle of the ramp. So that means they have to decorate the wall with a bunch of stuff and fake plants which they probably won’t to do for safety reasons.

My biggest issue is the way the ramp looks from the Adventureland walkway which could have been fixed with a taller rock wall. Taller plants in the middle planter would help obscure the bamboo wall but I’m not holding my breath.

My biggest issue is that people still get this worked up about a ramp...

A ramp here. A planter there. A downgrade here. A big blue Dumbo wall there. A downgrade there. Some people (like you) won’t get it until the park looks like Magic Mountain.

It would take 40 years of changes like that before it turns to magic mountain. An occasional galaxy’s edge during that time would counterbalance that.

The hyperbole is real in here. Quick the sky is falling.

And so is the naivety.

What makes Disneyland Disneyland. The “charm” people talk about. The stuff that separates Disneyland from the MK at WDW is being erased week after week right in front of our eyes.

40? At this rate I’d say 10.

Lol so Galaxies Edge would counterbalance downgrading the rest of the park?

I honestly disagree with you on so many levels, but that's fine.

Yep, pretty much. If there’s like 4 more projects like Galaxy’s Edge over the next 40 years.
