Disney Village Expansion/Improvements

I like the balloons also they add colour at night and take the edge off the industrial feel that others have said. An overall i think the village is kinda kool, abstract and wacky although it could obviously be improved by things like the planters.

Only news is that the concrete curbs around the tree by annette's have been completed;

I know this picture is a few days old but they are really taking there time over this.

Looks like the orange pipe contains a black wire, may be it will be to power lights in the tree?

I wonder if they have anything else planed for the village in the short term?

The unthinkable is happening... They're giving the Planet Hollywood globe a new coat of paint!! :shock:

More pics in the Photos Magiques newsupdate from past weekend.

Cool pics raptor! Do they make this "Cloudy-effect" later or is it a new color style?

Seems to happen a lot at café mickey with this long term fences. I think the new plants at Disney Fashion will give the store a better entrance. Will look very nice after planting. I´m very intersted what the do at billy bobs and the signs. Hope they won´t give it a cheap new one.

Rotkäppchen-Casting??? ("Little Red Riding Hood" in english) :lol:

The games arcade remember myself at old times. I remember in the early 90th there was also one at this corner.

Sometimes wonders just happen when you least expect them to..... :shock:
Great to see that blue is becoming blue again instead of greenish....

I think the white cloudy bits will be added later. Next job: repaint/replace the purple 2D bits at the side! They're horrible!!

Little Red Riding Hood -- :lol: :lol: It's a bit mean making them wear uniform to DLRP. What kind of schools do trips to Disneyland anyway??! We were only ever allowed "educational" ones.

The games arcade is interesting. Looks like they finally gave up and realised no-one can be bothered walking around to NEX.

You know, now would be a good time to get rid of that horrible carousel by Rainforest Café.

It's amazing what a coat of paint can do. It brings back the newness of when it was first built, all over again. Looking at the photos, it will look spectacular when it's all finished.

So far I've been pretty enthusiastic about the recent changes to Disney Village.

But there's also time for a complaint!

Not really a huge one, but I've been wondering if the newly created borders will stay like this, or that they will receive another layer of coating. I would mainly like to see another layer of coating to hide the main base of these borders, because they look a bit ugly at some parts.

Kristof · March 12, 2008, 01:06:46 PM

I'm sure they stay the same. It's how the other ones outside Disney Village look like since the park opened, so I wouldn't expect many changes there.

We even not have school uniforms at germany to wear :lol: Are they comfortable? :lol:

The other parts of planet hollywood looks now more faded away then ever before. The must repaint it.

Maybe they fettle the bottom parts of the concretborders a bit.

It's always funny when you discover something new, even after having visited the resort a billion times.

I've really never paid any attention to those bases... But now they're creating these borders again in Disney Village, it seem to bother me. I guess I'm just being very critical about anything they do these days.
