Before I start my moan I know refurbs are needed but the extent should be honestly shared with those considering booking.
The green fences are about 8 foot high and have no decoration, so no disneyfication like when they repainted the castle or IASW.
IASW has grey tarpaulin and scaffolding over the entire frontage plus a 100 foot fence around the base from the pavillion to the float gate.
Each station is also closed off with fencing and main st station has scaffolding and grey tarps with workers in high vis being very noisy all day.
There is scaffolding everywhere. Jackhammers and sawing is going on throughout the day with men in high vis andhardhats everywhere. You cannot even hear the music.
Railings have red and white tape on cones marking wet paint all over central plaza and the smell of paint is overwhelming.
Outside Plaza gardens (which is also still closed) the flower beds have fencing around them and the noise and dust from a circular saw cutting up concrete is deafening
Across from skull rock jacks wheel is closed off again with green fence from alladins bazaar all the way to the entrance to pirates
The walkway between adventure and fantasyland is also boarded off
The list of ride and restaurant closures does not give an accurate idea of areas where the green fence is in place.
There are green fences everywhere. Around the fountain at the entrance to studios and around where the sleigh/
christmas trees are at Christmas.
There is no possibility of a photo without these fences in the background pretty much in both parks.
This is a total muck up Disney, you should be ashamed.

Agreed

Interesting ...

Are you kidding? So it's gonna look a total mess when I go next month? It's my first ever visit I don't want it to be tarnished with a load of scaffolding ruining the magic. Ride closures I can deal with, this I don't think I can

Sorry but it is the worst i have ever seen it. Even when they were building the studios the noise was kept low with most work done overnight with floodlights. I have never seen workmen in overalls having their lunch on park benches before. The green fences are everywhere there is no attempt to disguise the sight sound or smell of this building site.Uzually whene a restaurant is closed they just lock up and do work inside or at least have a themed tarp overlay like Silver spur did. This timd they havd just green fenced the entire area e.g Fuento del oro and Molly Brown. It is awful.

Hopefully they'll get rid of it by next month I'm hoping!

I went in September,and I won,t be going back again.
We have been going since 1994,often 2-3 times a year,and now is the worst I have known it.
Three stages not being used,only 2 counter service restaurants open,only the silver spur steakhouse table service open,in Disney village only Annette's diner and cafe Mickey table service open,I had meal vouchers so had to use Disney restaurants.the steak house in Disney village was closed to hotel guests for corporate do.
I have sent Disney 2 emails and had no reply.As I said earlier I won,t be going back,as it seems once Disney have your money they don,t really care about their guests.
Rant over.

Slimy yet satisfying,

when was your stay? I just today read on another DLP-site that Fuente del Oro en Plaza Gardens have just reopened.

[Slimy yet satisfying]

We arrived on Saturday 3rd October and left yesterday Saturday the 10th October. Plaza gardens was not open on sat 10th am and the work on the outside eating areas and flower beds was still in full flow with no concrete left on the walkway (I peeked through an open doorway!)
Fuento del oro was the same on sat at 6pm so unless they sprinkled a shed load of pixie dust overnight I would doubt that it was without the green fencing.

[NCC1701Q]

I'm gonna check the other site again

[cazspence]

Plaza gardens is 100% open today. My friend was in there.

[HildeKitten]

Wow, I'm actually glad I went the last weekend of September now and didn't bother with the Halloween season this year!

[rebecca20]

Arriving tomorrow - I'll let y'all know how I find it. Tbh I'm not that fussy about the green boarding but having a family in decorating and construction means I'm pretty accustomed to the smell of paint and sound of drilling.

Have to agree just come back tonight and it isn't pretty....

Oh dear... We go in 12 sleeps and have paid a premium for this trip (compared to some of the bargain prices I was looking at for Easter 16). This is our last trip for a while before all of the big ride closures. I'd not prepared myself for area closures, builders and noise... Will have to get my disappointment armour on ready... 😔
