Saw this on a different site initially, looks like it's to allow Club 33 members or Castmembers direct access from the club over the railroad tracks but I wonder how the site lines for the station will be affected when looking down the right of way towards the Pirates tunnel.

That picture is near or over the mint julep bar. I was told by my friend who was just there, that the court of angels is now closed off and only Club 33 members can use the courtyard. There are other avenues and nooks that have been closed off to accommodate Club 33 members as well.

Re: New Bridge over New Orleans Square Station
Supposedly this is a temporary measure for some reason or other till the railroad reopens from it's refurbishment according to sources that I've read, which doesn't make sense as no construction is going on in the vicinity of the New Orleans Square station anyway. I sure do hope it is temporary whatever the reason may be.IDMT129 wrote:That picture is near or over the mint julep bar.

Re: New Bridge over New Orleans Square Station
That does not look like a temporary anything. Maybe it is used to bring food from the kitchens into the banquet area for CM's. I heard the lift was broken and removed from the Club. Any confirmation on this from anyone recently?

Re: New Bridge over New Orleans Square Station
Could this be a direct connection from the Lilly Belle to Club 33?

Re: New Bridge over New Orleans Square Station
When I was at Disneyland last week, this new bridge caused a major foot traffic flow problem. It completely blocked the walkway by the Mint Julep Bar. People could not exit New Orleans Square Station and use the bathroom without having to walk all the way around the French Market Restaurant and Cafe Orleans. People already in New Orleans Square sometimes were a little confused when they walked towards the bathroom without knowing that the walkway was a dead end there.
