Well I’m not sure what your source is but I can tell you when I worked the Cool Ship, 24 years ago it was in our training that the base of the ship was one of the ships from flight of the navigator. Doesn’t mean it’s correct but Disney themselves have been claiming this for at least that long.
Jim Schull claimed to have lead this project and said it was not the prop. Jim seems to be intentionally inflammatory on X/Twitter, but I believe him on this one.

I can't imagine they would completely demo it down to the foundation, then bring it all back again in the same form... It will probably be a DVC Kiosk with a whole different look.... But it would be nice if it was brought back in it's original format with the misters and lighting package....

TDO completely demolish something and then bring it back in all its former glory?? I need to consult the Magic 8-Ball on this one...

Expect a "new, sleek, modern kiosk". There is no place for theme, charm, and character (except M&G's with LL available) in Bob's amusement parks.

I mean why not ??

There is no reason to really change the design at all.

If anything is gonna look better if it’s being rebuilt.

MIB had to kick them out. Their work visas had expired, the ship was ready to take off, and it was time for something else to take its place. Fortunately the aliens had an easy flight out and anyone who was an issue has been properly neuralyzed. Speaking of which......

This was just a normal construction project and disney is working on replacing it with something in the not so distant future.

Icarus Exhibits filed the permit, so it should at least be themed enough that they had to hire artists over a general contractor.
