So yesterday was the last day for the Animation Experience at DAK and today is the last day of the Animation Experience at Epcot for FotA and they decided to announce today that when Animation returns to Studios there won’t be a live host anymore? Interesting timing.

Well that’s one way to get the Olaf animatronic into the parks

Just in the one day since these photos were taken, the construction wall has come out a few feet onto Grand Ave and the gelato cart that was on the sidewalk has been relocated.
