Rumor has it that the tip board here may be coming down soon.

Only two more months until this comes down and we can see the theater again.

The Magic of Disney Animation closed over the weekend.

The sign says exciting things are coming. The biggest rumor is that this space will be a Blue Sky Cellar type building previewing all the changes coming to this park.

Some of the old signage is still up.

And of course, the gift shop stays open.

Rumors suggest that One Man's Dream is next to close, but nothing official there yet. — Rumors suggest that One Man’s Dream is next to close, but nothing official there yet.

This old Jack Sparrow building was converted into a 'lounge'. It wasn't open when I visited, but pictures online showed some pretty ugly stuff. — This old Jack Sparrow building was converted into a ‘lounge’. It wasn’t open when I visited, but pictures online showed some pretty ugly stuff.

Midway Mania closes at 8:45 nightly now so the Frozen Fireworks can go off.

No sign of outdoor change for the third track of Midway Mania.

The Sorcerer Mickey meet and greet from the Animation building is now set up in the old Backlot Tour queue.

Shouldn't be long until we see the installation of the Osborne Lights. Probably August. — Shouldn’t be long until we see the installation of the Osborne Lights. Probably August.

Walt is still here though! — Walt still seems happy to be here.

Villains in Vogue has been renamed to Reel Vogue.

They now sell basically all the same stuff as the other gift shops.

Both the taxi and red car on Sunset were missing this week.

There is a large new building going up behind the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. No idea what it is, but stay tuned for more. — There is a large new building going up behind the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. No idea what it is, but stay tuned for more.

Seems there is some sort of concert/stage show that happens at RNRC also.

Time to head out!
