Café? Shop? Photo location?

Ah cool, it's either a merchandise stall or another drinks/snack counter.

Couple more photos:

And one of the refurb:

Looks like a merchandise kiosk to me too, seems to be quite similar to the one outside Animagique, but we'll have to wait and see...

Is there any official confirmation about why the whole building is covered by scaffolding?

Bit of a crazy idea from me..... this isn't related to the Theatre District idea is it?

The façade is just in refurbishment. Scaffolding is also placed on the backstage side of the building.

Would that "kiosk" structure be a staff shelter to a new development like a walkthrough ride or so? :?
or a merchandise stall for stitch live and playhouse disney?

Most likely going to be a merchandise kiosk, like the one beside Animagique.

Wonder if that's going to be the new colour scheme for the Television Tour building? :?

Before I clicked the link I was hoping that it would include some red, luckily it does!

Its like the management are trying to change the colours of all the buildings, from the original yellow. (E.g. Toon Studio, and now the potentially new colours for the studios building)
I don't think thats a bad thing! Some might.

A post by member marc bosset on DCP forum confirms the kiosk won't be opening next month as planned but September, since some of the the fittings won't be ready in time.

Personally I like the top of the kiosk, that peach/salmon red is a good introduction to the land's colour scheme (it's already on Restaurant des Stars). The darker red of the supports doesn't look great.

Like the Animagique kiosk, though, it's a shame they only ever try to blend in these new kiosks with their locations, rather than letting them stand out a little - have their own name, etc. Example being La Petite Maison des Jouets in Fantasyland. The Studios is already still quite a bland wash of buildings, it could do with these things having a bit more personality.

Why not use more of that dead corner and put something like Crossroads of the World in?

New colours!!

Quote from: "WDSfans"The Television Tour building currently housing Playhouse Disney Live on Stage, Stitch Live! and the Disney Channel Europe offices is currently packed in scaffolding for a complete repaint of its façade.

It appears that a new colour scheme has been chosen for the building, using more a more earth tone yellow/orange and replacing the green by an orange/red tone.

I know it's early, but wow! LOVE those colours!

Suddenly it might go from being 1950s-inspired to proper 50s period.

What a pleasant surprise.

^Ditto, I absolutely love that colour scheme. Can't wait to see what the whole building looks like when finished.

bigrossco · July 27, 2009, 03:43:17 PM

love the colour's makes it look more fresh and just better!

Whilst the new colour scheme does look good, I can't help but think they're just shuffling little bits of the park again. Sure, it'll probably look better with the new colours, but it's not going to make a real difference.
