Originally Posted By FerretAfros It's a nice throwback to the old flower market that used to be on the other side of the street. I wonder why they decided to add it, and why they added it in the middle of the Christmas season, rather than when they were putting in the rest of the decorations. I'm inclined to think that it's going to be permanent, with seasonal updates I haven't seeen it in person, but I hope that it feels less cluttered than it does in the pictures. It just sort of looks like a lot of 'stuff' shoved in the street, which is one of the few rarely-crowded parts of the park. It would be a shame if the additional props made it feel congested, simply because of the various things that people need to walk around

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Good news for me cause every time I walk past that location I "remember" those flower carts and have wished for their return.

(Hope not)...
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I must be confusing the old location with WDW then. I don't remember ever seeing either of them in person, so I was just going on vague memories of old photos Yes, the flowers are artificial. I don't think real ones could stand up to guests touching them every day to see if they were real or not And the fruit cart is still there, it's just rotated 90 degrees and pushed a little further up the side street, so it isn't quite as visible from Main Street

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt Pretty much never. I remember the market in its heyday and I always wondered as a kid how much revenue it took in. Still, it makes for a great photo spot and adds to the atmosphere.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros From my understanding, this flower market is just a collection of props, not a retail location But to the other point, for the longest time they've sold roses that glow various colors at night, with an LED embedded in them. They seem to be about as popular as anything else on the carts of light-up merchandise that they roll out each night. So apparently some guests do want flowers from DL

Originally Posted By Nobody Have you seen those upstairs windows? There seem to be quite a few more businesses you can't utilize.
