Walls go up, walls come down. Such is the new circle of life for Epcot. With a whole host of changes on the horizon for the park, it’s something we’re going to have to get used to. Let’s see what’s happening today. They’re doing some concrete work right behind Spaceship Earth. Probably just minor utility … Read more
Construction walls went up in late June around the former Great Movie Ride (I can’t write that out without choking up…) and since then, we’ve only caught fleeting glimpses of some new “Hidden Mickey” lanterns that went up a few days ago. Well, walls are down around the Chinese Theatre and the ramp adjacent to … Read more
After checking out Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during Passholder previews yesterday, we decided to take a walk around Disney’s Hollywood Studios for any changes given the never-ending construction around the park in preparation for the land’s grand opening to the general public.

With select Disney Skyliner stations set to open by August 28th, the clock is definitely ticking for project construction timelines. With lines testing near daily, evacuation procedures in place, and signage already posted at some stations, it seems the final touches across property are finally being made, and over at Hourglass Lake between Disney’s Art … Read more
