I'm just happy that we can still walk through the castle. We'll just have to go right in front to get a picture! It is what it is... I've warned my dd. lol

I'm very behind! Do we know what they are doing to the hub? Is it going to be significantly different from what it was? And how long will construction last?

This kind of breaks my heart. That statue is probably by single most favorite thing in the Magic Kingdom if not all of Disney World. I know that renovation is necessary and difficult in a place that essentially never closes, but they could have worked on smaller areas at a time so that work in one area could be wrapped up in a few days before moving on to another task. Seems like the entire hub looks completely bull dozed, and I am sorry, but it definitely kills a lot of the magic. To late to switch our dates now, so we will deal with it, but it does make me sad.

1. Do we know what they are doing to the hub?

2. Is it going to be significantly different from what it was?

3. And how long will construction last?

1. Yes. More "viewing area" for parades, fireworks and castle events in the hub.
2. Not catastrophically different.
3. Estimates say until the end of this year.
Nobody knows actual dates.

Thanks! I found the links to the pics, just couldn't find any write up about what exactly the plan was

Thank also Robo for your response!

This is seriously a bummer. Any chance it'll be done by April? Hey, one can hope, right!??

Ive read a couple things where it says the Partners statue will be uncovered again by March so who knows.

I'll just have to take a photo with Roy Disney at the front of the park.
