Maybe it's because it doesn't blow in the breeze. I'm sure it makes sense from a maintenance standpoint to not use live grass in an area that would be hard to get to on a regular basis. And I think the stage setup in Town Square was for AFV. I saw a blurb that said they would be filming there this week

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "The coaster won't have nearly enough of those to suit this cauldron girl..." I understand, but don't you think that the elaborate exterior of this new Snow White attraction along with its interior scenes more than makes up for the loss?

I am sure the new coaster will be charming-- it is looking wonderful. I think the two attractions would have complemented each other beautifully. No one thinks it odd that Disneyland has two Alice in Wonderland attractions side by side. Or two Dumbo attractions side by side. Two Snow White attractions would have been a real asset to the Magic Kingdom. And there are other places where they could have created a new place to meet the princesses.

ORWEN: You see, here in Morva we're surrounded by so many swamps that it we tried wearing shoes they'd just be ruined. So it's best we just go barefoot. ORDDU: Hmph!! The doctor knows this well enough. He's just looking for a way to avoid an apology AND a date!!!
