Martin also just said that the Budget he hinted at last year of 1.2 billion was wrong. Based on what has been said it will be more than that.

Shame they don't offer a price break on admission with all of these closures. Very little reason to visit the studios until things change.

And it likely won't be until 2017-18 until we have something new and then 2021 where everything would be done.

NOOOOO!!!! Say it isn't so!

Another rumor out that Disney Quest will close in the spring of 2016. This lines up with the rumors of it closing for NBA experience.

Well that area seems to be all closing so I wouldn't be surprised.

This is long overdue. The tech at DQ is just pitiful.

I agree. They also didn't offer vouchers for it in 2016 packages so it closing in 2016 would make even more sense.

That really bums me out. I didn't spend as much time looking at everything the last time I was there. I hope they find a new home for all of the artifacts. It would be a shame to lose all references to the man who started it all.

I agree. I really hope it re-opens somewhere. Perhaps in one of the abandoned buildings in Epcot.

This is crazy. I am only going to Disney for two days in the summer and I chose Magic Kingdom and HS as the two parks I wanted to go to... now I'm rethinking everything. I almost wish I didn't buy a two day Disney pass and got one Disney and one Universal... there seems to be a lot more going on over there!

If I were you I would've done AK because of the changes that have been happening there. DHS is defintely not the best place to go right now and probably won't be for the next year or two.

Looks like Disney seems to have confirmed July 12th as date of closure for Disney Animation building in DHS no word on One Mans Dream. Local 6 in Orlando says that Animation gallery shop will also close in August and work is supposedly underway on a new experience.

I have a feeling the Pixar part of the expansion is what will make or break this. I have no doubt the Star Wars part will be great (And I am not a Star Wars fan), but Pixar can either be really nice or just "meh". I just cant wait to finally see the plans.
