Curious if they'll try to time the closure around Big Thunder's reopening. If all of that was down at once Frontierland would be an actual ghost town. I'm sure there's still a ton of backstage work to do before they start filling the rivers. If you check the permits, there are several tree filled plots that are going to get cleared as staging, probably before any work starts in the parks.

You would think Disney would give advance notice as it might influence folks to plan a visit WDW to get a last visit to TSI, the fort and one last ride of the riverboat.
Having said that, we keep trying to apply logic in Disney's decisions when many of their decisions do not follow logic.

I’ve heard ROA will not be open for MNSSHP season. I was hoping for one more party but that’s not looking good.

Did you hear this from an insider? Very sad if true.

I don't think we can necessarily put faith in the words of the online chat cast member named Garland, but I've been assured that Tom Sawyer Island and the riverboat at least WILL be open during my trip July 8-15, and "there are no plans for closure."
NOTE: I am not saying it won't happen; I'm just glad it will be open for my trip, if what Garland says is true.

I am thinking they may quietly close this area to avoid the mobs to get one last explore of TSI and the fort and one last ride in the riverboat. Just speculating.

In Garland we trust. Last time I heard that name was my 85 year old neighbor when I was 8. Used to ride my bike around the block and would stop and talk to him. He had a big ol walnut tree in his front yard he fiercely protected from the squirrels. And on the hottest days of summer he would put a two lawn chairs and a small table with a pitcher of lemonade to share with the mailman.

Customer service only gives the information they have access to. Currently they have not scheduled the closure so that's what they say.

It's the prettiest area of the park - day and night.

, but I do like your photoshopping 
I think it's safe to argue more people would plan a trip to say goodbye to MV3D as opposed to Tough to be a Bug or Triceratops. Also, FWIW:

I'm really annoyed that they closed Muppets so soon. Our trip starts July 8, and we won't get to see it. We'd already been planning the trip since before they announced the closure date.

At the very least they should keep the Liberty Belle docked and made into an exhibit with the whistle blowing occasionally. Keep the boiler and paddle wheel working.

Perhaps they could keep a large crescent of water there at the Frontierland Promenade and dock Liberty Belle on the opposite side of the water with a 3/4 scale town set (Rainbow Ridge type) backing up to the new auto-parts mountains...so it looks like it is still operating... a whistle and steam release every so often.... At least then, that quadrant of the park would still resemble The Magic Kingdom....
