Space Mountain's exit is open again. The moving walkway is now gone.

Lots of pics of it on wdw news. This part looks pretty cool:

Looks like a very long walk... interesting and cool looking scenery, but lots of open dead space

Headed to the AP pop-up this morning. Would have maybe preferred a nighttime AP event in my vacation because my roommate just kindly informed me that if we get there and nothing’s happening, she “will bathe in my blood.”

Yes, that is a direct quote from the bus stop at All Star Movies.

NOOOO!!! It seems silly to be upset about something seemingly minor to most. But it was one of my favorite parts of the ride and the end to one of my favorite experiences in WDW.

I am right there with you - I am sure (at least for me) it is the nostalgia more that the actual “thing” but it was one of those experiences I associated with a visit to WDW so sad it is gone

It kind of reminds me of Soarin' way more than Space Mountain.

I'm am SO LOOKING FORWARD to this! "Marry Poppins" is my all-time favorite Disney film. This looks like it could be a winner!

The moving walkway is now gone

Come on, Disney! The moving walkway was part of the experience of this ride! My kids thought that aspect was very futuristic: They always asked, "why don't we have moving sidewalks like this at home?". Guess they'll have to do that experience at the airport.

I might be in the minority, but I'm actually happy about this. After an experience I had during a Disney After Hours Event that "wasted" several minutes of my experience, any way to keep people walking is a plus for me. In an event that is time sensitive, it definitely frustrated me that I couldn't get out of that exit quickly.

I agree. The last time we were there my kids and I just bounced down that walkway and then walked in, skipped the ride, and did it again and again. The kids loved it and giggled the whole way. It's not just a moving walkway, it's soft and bouncy and kind of has a fun feel unlike the ones at airports. I'm sad it's gone.

Looks like they had some leftover materials from the room refurbs...

Perhaps it is just the pics that were posted, and they way they were posted, but the exit path looks like it is longer than the entrance line...
And it will be WAY harder to exit after running the Goofy/Dopey.

I did hate when people would just stand on it and cause a giant backup. But that's mainly because that meant I couldn't pretend I was walking on the moon and bounce down it. I wonder if people like me are the reason they had to take it out...

that was my first thought - looks like a nice Urban Hotel .... and "Nice Urban Hotel" seems to be the aesthetic they are going for a lot of places

based on how expensive I expect it to be to visit Galaxy's Edge if you want to avoid the crazy crowds, I am going to assume the rides will be called "an arm" and "a leg"
