What changes are going on in the parks this year?

We were in WDW this past August and heard about Star Wars Land being built (expected to open in summer 2017 is what I heard) in DHS where Indiana Jones used to be and they had already walled off the Muppets and Honey I shrunk the Kids area to build Cars Land but when I go to the website, those things are still listed as open. Also in EPCOT I heard they were getting rid of Figment and Ellen's Energy Adventure but those are still listed too. Am I wrong?

Indiana Jones is still open, I shrunk the kids playground is closed, not sure about muppets, I think it's still open. No Cars Land is in the works, Toy Story Land is. No rumors about getting rid of Figment and rumors of getting rid of Ellen but it is still open.

No Cars Land is in the works, Toy Story Land is.

Thanks, I knew it was one of them. Now I remember, Cars is DL. Any word on when SW Land will be open?

If we trust Bob's comments on the earning call, sometime 2019. Muppets attraction is still open, and they've re-themed Pizza Planet to PizzeRizzo.

It's Avatar Land opening 2017 (May 27th). Plus these recent public announcements: Rivers Of Light Opening Feb. 17 and Wishes being replaced by "Happily Ever After" also in May but I can't recall the exact date published. As someone has mentioned, Star Wars is supposed to open sometime in 2019.

The major changes for the calendar year of 2017 is Pandora at DAK and the fact wishes is leaving and a new show is replacing it the next night.

2018 has nothing big on the calendar.

2019 Star Wars Land DHS

Unannounced time line is Toy Story Land at DHS. No one knows if it is 2018, 2019 or later. With the push to get SW open first I think Toy Story will be 2020 at the earliest.

No exact timeline and nothing announced is the updates at Epcot. I expect our announcement for that to come in July at D23 following the normal patter of recent announcements.
