I miss this so much - IMO one of the worst moves Disney made. I get upset just looking at pictures and in person I feel worse - would never even go there again except for our love for 'Ohana. I used to enjoy just sitting upstairs overlooking this beautiful oasis - we have many pics of this, now it's sterile and basically empty.
I'm a sentimentalist (how could you tell lol) and didn't like all the changes in the last 15 or more years anyway, but now I have no desire to return with all the cut backs. If 'normal' doesn't happen we would rather our memories be of the 'before Covid' days.
