Around the net there's been a few comments that the park's blog is starting to show off maybe too much of the backstage stuff. I disagree - Walt liked to show off pretty much everything with his shows.

I would think they could keep the "castle wall at the rear of the building, as it would be the "wall" beyond the forest. It might be wishful thinking, but I hope the expansion fixes some of the FL "bad show," such as the visible "small world" show building (seen walking east to west past Pooh), as well as the abrupt unthemed eastern wall of the Pooh building, behind the Enchanted Grove snack stand.

But your excuse-making for making the park so full of concrete and lacking shade really is a load of bull$h--. Disney removes trees so the Castle appears like a huge (insert four-letter term for male member) so people can see a few lame projections during sappy Wishes and so triple-wide folks can park ECVs or push double-wide strollers. For such a 'green' company, Disney is magical at destroying trees.
