Trees removed ahead of Innovations East demolition (cue "it's starting!" Gif)

Isn't Innovations West to be demolished, not east? I don't recognize the photo location, butI also think the Moana attraction was supposed to be west.

The spot is between innovations and the Seas.

Well that will teach me, I thought it was West but the post said East and I am very directionally challenged

Those trees were beautiful. Wish they would’ve been relocated.

Usually Disney is pretty good about relocating trees/plants if they can - perhaps they just couldn't with these

The concept art called for a big increase to greenage at EPCOT so would think they would want to recycle these if they could

But maybe I am giving them too much credit and this was just easier/cheaper

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Guess things changed again and MCO will close at 2am tomorrow morning/late tonight

Agreed! I’m assuming there was a larger problem with relocating. But, a chain saw is very cheap.

They do take on a lot of environmental initiatives.

NEWS/REPORTS

I am seeing reports that Animal Kingdom is out of the Simba magnets and will not being getting any more in

I remember reading that the magnets would only be distributed from August 29th, to September 2nd. Maybe they were shorted a box in the order and that's why they ran out a couple hours early

They were supposed to be available until September 5th.

Not sure if this was already posted, but was announced that a new scene will be added to Star Tours in Paris for Rise of Skywalker ... would think it would come to the other parks as well

Are there any scenes/sequences to coincide with The Last Jedi? I have only ridden this ride once in my life somehow, so I'm not very familiar with updates. They added one for Force Awakens, right? Was that limited or is it still included in the mix today? How many question marks can I use in one post?

Yes, I believe there was a scene inserted from the planet Crait (where the battle at the end of the movie occurred).
