The hub... or as I always liked to call it... the castle courtyard.
The first photo show the original configuration and where construction began.
The second photo shows the expanded courtyard with garden greens and expanded pathways. A much needed improvement since the original was always a bottle neck of mass crowds. Good job! The downside... the increased viewing areas are sectioned for fast pass viewing of fireworks. I'm told that the first choices for these fast pases goes to Disney hotel guests. Great if you stay at Disney hotels. Otherwise, just like all other fast passes... Priority goes to Disney hotel guests while locals, snowbirds, and off property guests get last choice if any passes are remaining.
