It's probably better to do it all now  than have to disrupt the parade again in the future?

But they're not doing it all though, it is just a small random patch outside the passport office. There's alot more floor in between this and Fantasyland.

*Update*
The new "paved" floor is continuing at least as far as the two turrets at the entrance to Fantasyland!





Here's how it looks when it's all finished  :thumbs:

Although I prefer the look of the colored concrete, this will indeed stand the test of time far better. So there's a complaint less in 2015!

Has anyone seen the state of the concrete floor in the Esplanade, by the way? Between the World of Disney site and the Studios. Suffices to say that's why we should be happy about these pavers.

For the fantasyland floor: I think they should mix it a bit. I liked the old floor. But after some years of business he looked very tacky (not only because of the parade route but also because manye "Service ways" and heavy service carts with CMs that doesn´t really care about the floor (and why should they? It´s a working place) seems to damaged it so much.

The new floor is also OK for me but I think a mix of both would be great for the fantasyland theme and a good bridge between main street and the fantasyland gate.

For the floors in the esplanade, in front of WDS entrance (not at the center but on the right and on the left of it) it´s over the time to replace it. I don´t get why they start a new floor concept just in front of WDS main entrance but haven´t done something to the floor areas around it. The parts where they made it new are great. You can see that you also can get the same nice touches with real paving. I only can hope that they fix also the problems between the parks and in the whole resort area. In front of the WDS "box offices" the floor is dangerous. Not nice if you wanna buy a ticket to the "studio of dreams".

The floor in the esplanade is really in a terrible state. Hopefully they will replace it for the 20th birthday. Maybe it is done with the construction of WoDS.

I like the new floor in front of Fantasyland. I think they will stop at the entrance gate to use these stones maybe Disney will use regular colored concrete for the floors inside Fantasyland. Hopefully, like Riebi already said, Disney will mix the designs of the floors like they did when DLP was built.

I get the feeling the brick work will continue all the way along the Parade route, makes sense really. I think it looks better than the concrete floor.

Definitely not stopping at the entrance... here are some picture I took a few days ago...

Thanks for the photos. These builders are getting the job done very rapidly. They should get them to do the roadworks on the M6!

I really like how the bricks wrap around the castle's wall.

Looking good Disney....!

The whole area is fenced off:

Thanks for the pictures!

The wall around Fantasyland and the towers at the entrance need a fresh color, too.

It looks like they still have quite a bit to go, but they're making great progress.

Sorry to double post, but is this finished now? I think I remember reading somewhere that it would be done at the start of the month (and it did look last week as though they were just doing the final touches).
