FIRST LOOK: TRON Lightcycle Run Canopy Roof Installation Has Begun at Magic Kingdom

The first segment of the ETFE roof has been installed in a small corner of the canopy skeleton. When completed, the entire canopy will be translucent and have a kinetic lighting package that will follow the TRON Lightcycle Run roller coaster cars as they loop through the outdoor section of the ride.

It should hopefully at least be finished construction by then, whether it’s open or not will remain to be seen. Took about 10 months from this point of construction to opening in Shanghai.

I'm just hoping it's done enough for the railroad to come back by May.

Droid Depot Runs Out of Carrying Boxes, No Discount Offered

Just like Savi’s Workshop, guests are being offered a clear plastic bag to carry their droid around, but unlike Savi’s Workshop, Cast Members said that there is no discount offered for the Droid Depot.

On the Droid Depot website, Disney lists a “Carry box” as being included with the $99 price tag for the build-a-droid experience.

Just read that they're back! https://wdwnt.com/2022/01/photos-ca...-to-droid-depot-at-disneys-hollywood-studios/

I thought Starcruiser guests were prisoners in some kind of cosplay nightmare, unable to acknowledge that it's all just a theme park.

I was honestly wondering this. The schedule is pretty tight, with the exception of the first evening. I was curious how much freedom they have to just walk away from the story. Maybe these bus routes are for people on the day they leave, and they just have a big baggage hold.
