Did the old Snow White ride have screen shields facing the courtyard? These scrims descend from the ceiling just before the fireworks show in Fantasyland, to guard against debris flying into the line (the attraction - a meet and greet - stays open during fireworks, though the courtyard just beyond is off limits).
I think the scrims are new. EDIT: a friend confirms they were not there originally!
