This is now the third change in dates for refurbs for these two attractions. They do need the work badly from what I've heard. Also there are talks that the first few weeks of the refurbs will cause some congestion issues in Tomorrowland.BenB wrote:Wow, closed for the whole summer season?

Re: Refurbishment News
It sounds to me like some kind of major change is coming to the queue areas for both of these, based solely on the dates coinciding and the locations of the two.BenB wrote:Wow, closed for the whole summer season?

Folks will sure miss the People Mover in the June/July heat. It's one of the best ways to take a break and stay in the shade during those Summer months.

Re: Refurbishment News
The L.A. Prop Cinema Storage shop at MGM (DHS) is now listed as being closed for refurbishment from June 16th to Febuary 28th. That's extremely long for a simple refurbishment. There are talks that it is the future location of Starbucks, but nothing confirmed

It is pure kitsch, and I love every minute of it. It's super dated, but that's what makes it fun!Goofyfan wrote:Agree!!! COP is considered "lame" by some......But we love it and have to ride it every time we are there. I guess it brings back memories>>>>
I love listening to the old recording when Father says "Just you iron the wrinkles out of my shirts," and then in the present day scene, he actually feels put-out when his wife speaks up. Amazing.
It's one of my favorite rides in the parks.

Re: Refurbishment News
The All-Star Music Resort food court will be renovated from August 1st through to December 20th. It will be the same renovation work as the food court at the All-Star Sports last year

Re: Refurbishment News
It still amazes me that it takes them that long to renovate a food court. It doesn't seem like it would take almost 5 months to renovate themCardinals314 wrote:The All-Star Music Resort food court will be renovated from August 1st through to December 20th.

These are huge spaces... And I bet it takes awhile to give the whole place a thorough scrubbing.Amy wrote:It still amazes me that it takes them that long to renovate a food court.

Re: Refurbishment News
I suppose, but they manage to do attractions in less time ~ I suppose the impetus to finish a food court isn't as strong because they just have guests go the adjoining All Stars' food court instead.cy1229 wrote:These are huge spaces...

Re: Refurbishment News
Exactly. That's probably why they are doing the renovations of the food courts in shifts rather than all three together. The walking would be annoying, but I haven't eaten there anyways. I would rather spend a couple of extra dollars at a sit down place for lunch
