It appeared that they had eliminated (or moved) some of the games to make way for the "Princess Walk", but, the photo spot was still in place. I don't know what their long range plans for Merida are. If they have plans to release Brave just before Christmas, I'd think they would keep the meet and greet around to keep up interest. But, I'm wondering what they'll do at Christmastime when they typically need that upper deck area for Small World Holiday queue space. I can see it being a mess if they try to keep the princesses up there at that time.

By the way, I checked out the concept art posted on the Parks Blog recently that has been posted up in the Opera House. It is large enough that you can see some of the details. I could see a Figuro, as mentioned in another thread that Tony Baxter had referred to. There were some other neat details. It also looks like Belle may have her own spot separate from the "Princess Hall". There is a small structure that has gadgets and gizmos by it and it says "Maurice's" something or another.
