United Kingdom Chalk Art

[amityisland]

Does anyone know if the UK pavilion will be selling Royal Baby merchandise?

We were there today and didn't see any, sorry.

What's nice is that if you enter thru the IG before 11:00, you might be able to watch the CM do the chalk art for the day-

Sometimes they do the drawings later in the day also.

It is really fun to watch the drawings "come to life".

Disney should ask the UK CMs to participate in this LTM!

Why did they stop doing these?

Why did they stop doing these?

Another cost cutting measure? That chalk must have been too expensive.

No longer done?

I've been told it was a decision by the Imagineers to terminate the UK hopscotch/chalk art.

I don't know why-my only guess is someone must have decided one day it was too "tacky" for WS.

I think they made a terrible decision-the hopscotch boards/chalk art was very popular with Guests and added a lot to the "atmosphere".

That is really sick, WED. Really stupid!!!

So sad to read they did away with this! All we ever saw was the hopscotch court but it was fun to help out a CM by playing myself to get some nearby kids to know it's okay to join in.

The Hopscotch board is back.

On a sidewalk?

It is right by the Merchandise "cart"-not out in the Promenade where it used to be,but at least it is back.

You're welcome.

The Hopscotch board had been gone for quite some time and they still aren't doing any "Chalk Art" like they used to do.

Well, not as good as where it previously had been, but at least it is back to one degree.
