Look close, its still there behind the plants. Plants go in the bed later

I am getting the sense the water feature around the restaurant has been cut? It seems like they filled in where I would assume water would go... with dirt? Unless it's hiding behind the plants they have stacked along the wall.

You’re doing it wrong. You’re supposed to take photos from random places where you can’t see the tower and then act like this is no big deal.

John Hench helped design the Grand Floridian. A true Disney legend. He write about the 5 shades of white used on the Grand Floridian in his excellent book. By Disney standards, the towers are bad. It’s a shame we are getting them and will continue to get more I’m sure.

Have a picture? What site line is it towering over? Like you can see it over the building more than my picture?

I used a Time Machine to go back to Epcot in 2000 and you could barely see the Millennium Wand while you were in the queues for most of the attractions

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to only try to view the tower from the monorail.

I just watched a video featuring the tattoo artist who designed them. He also worked on Kona Cafe.

When you walk outside from the Great Ceremonial House and out over the lawn, it is towering over the whole sightline on the left.
