As far as I'm concerned removing the rocking chairs is like removing a planter or two. And it pales in comparision with having closed restaurants while Disney is building new ones and fenced off bulldozed areas for 20 years in the MK, or moving Dumbo to the back of the park.

It ain't the same!! ORDDU: Be that as it may, I have taken it upon myself to investigate further and have been told THIS time around that my earlier suggestion was correct. It's because of the extra traffic flow brought on by the new character meet and greet inside Exposition Hall that brought about the removal of the rocking chairs. ORGOCH: What's that? Pest Relations felt the porch weren't big 'nuff fer guests AND the rockin' chairs?? I say git rid a the guests, then!! ORDDU: With the economy the way it is, that may happen by natural causes, dear.

Who knew that small town ambience that one should experience on MainStreetUSA is interpreted as No Sitting allowed on Disney property continue moving and shopping please! What makes you think you need to sit and enjoy that Mickey Ice Cream you can eat and drive and text at the same time so just eat and walk and shop. I can't believe they gave you that politically correct answer in City Hall. Does anybody remember how they used to line up the rockers in front of the Liberty Tree Tavern all Southern charm like? They have been gone for sometime now also. I suspect "guests" moving them around is part of the problem so it is really our own fault. Heck if I hurt my back picking up one of those rockers to move to watch the parade I would expect free FP's in return to my legal agreement not to pursue a lawsuit cause Disney made me hurt myself!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I will say that one of my favorite things while flying is going through an airport that has rocking chairs. The Charlotte airport has a ton in the main concourse area, just lined up against a window by the food court. Philadelphia also has some, but there's something about that airport that just isn't as relaxing or charming. Certainly not one of those things you plan a trip around, but a very nice bonus while you're passing through.
Originally Posted By dshyates I don't mind them moving Dumbo. I think the new location will be stronger thematically and logistically than where it has been. Thematically because it will be in a circus atmosphere as opposed to flying around a midIeval castle courtyard. Logistically because it will keep the 2 main kiddie rides together. Giving little reason for childless adults to clog the area. Now about those rockers. I think it is a conspiracy. I have noticed some benches disappearing also. Soon, the only places to sit will require a food purchase. Diabolical, I tell ya!
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORGOCH: Never knew they had rockin' chairs at air ports, Ferret, ducklin'. But then I never go ta air ports no way. Got my own FREE mode a transportation if'n ya knows what I mean. ORWEN: I'm glad to see you're still here, MickeyMouseClub, duckling. After reading a certain topic thread over in Community, I wasn't sure if we'd be seeing you again. But you mustn't go. ORDDU: As for your sister's reaction to the missing rocking chairs, I wouldn't mind adding a few choice words of my own. ORWEN: There were still some benches right up against the outer walls of Exposition Hall, though.
