Changes in Disney Village

[Bexx]

They're taking the central towers down - YAY!! But they are also removing the sky of stars - shame!

I look forward to seeing what they do to the place!!

I agree about the stars, but a suitable sacrifice to see the towers down

I have to agree with that. Those middle towers are ugly, and just get in the way. I remember when they were clad in the silver and red all the way to the bottom, and that looked quite smart, but then they took the bottom bit off and it wasn't an improvement!

Only 2 posts and (apparently 15 days) to go now Di!!!

Oh I did love those stars

I agree it will be nice to see what they do instead - Becky can give us a firsthand report soon

Got to admit I really liked the stars as well, hope they come up with something to put in their place.

When are these changes being made from, as we go in 3 and a half weeks? I really like the stars they add to the atmosphere

I believe that at least a couple of the towers are down now, but I don't know about the stars. I will give you an update in a couple of weeks!!

Just found this thread on the MiceAge forum - I'm afraid it looks like some of the Stars have gone already But on a positive note, the picture on the second page shows what an improvement the removal of just a few of the towers has made!!

Thankyou for that information Becky

It certainly looks easier to walk around now!! Cant wait to view it when we have our little 2 day trip. Arriving on 6th, we will be there for the bonfire bash on 7th so at least there will be more room inside village on this oh so pushy-shovey-squashy ocassion!!

That doesn't sound fun - is it really that bad?

To be honest, my experience was that when the bonfire event was over the weekend (as it is on the 5th this year) it was really chocca with local groups as well as us Disneyites. Not so sure about the 7th when we will be there as its a Monday. But as its DLP I always carry a spare pair of sharpened elbows and some size 10 shoes (im only a 6 really) to ensure my place in the queue isnt surpassed by groups of teenagers trying to get in as many rides as they can during their visit (have not objection to this but not at the expense of my kids thank you very much!!)

Thanks - best to be prepared I guess!!

 

[DisneyRGB]

Thanks for the info Becky! Looks like there'll be a lot more room

Not bothered about arcades but bowling and whatever else they put there adds extra evening entertainment.

Yes some of the towers near Annettes are down, but the concrete bases are still there so it doens't make the walk anyeasier in the corwds! The stars are still there at the top end, but not sure if they were lit, we were only in the village once at night on this trip and I can't remember!
