The real "Bill Cosby bust" made the fake one expendable.

Wasn't there a Jim Henson bust or something out there too? That'd be nice to move over to Muppet Courtyard.

They probably think it's a miracle that the company did as well as it did being run by someone with so little regard for stock price.

I wouldn't think the main sign would still be up at this point if it was going away entirely

I guess it was a mosaic I was thinking of.
However at the real Hall of fame plaza they have a bronze statue of him..

I can picture the headlines now.I'm imagining something like this:
WALT DISNEY WORLD TO BE RENAMED IGERTOPIA

I believe there is an entrance or exit from the Hyperion theater under the sign which is probably why they haven't removed it yet, assuming the whole thing is being removed.

Guessing that if it isn't owned by Disney it is going away park wide. PS-- I am a big fan of this strategy. It will create a very coherent and immersive park. Opposite from the original version in most aspects. Win.

I see your point....there is much less chance of things you love someday going away if Disney owns them. No licensing agreements to expire! Think how different things would be if LucasFilms was still just a licensing agreement. Of course, I say this all as Pandora gets closer to completion...

I don't know that they are, it's just speculation.

From the Orlando Sentinal..
"The area, a part of the theme park since 1993, has been behind construction walls since last month. It will be replaced with a food and beverage marketplace, a Walt Disney World spokeswoman said Wednesday. The area should be cleared by Thanksgiving, she said."

Personally do not object to the concept here but it's removal indicates a great new direction for the park. Very exciting.
The busts will be relocated and sounds like will still be available to the public. What will be interesting is the fate of the footprints. Preserved? Auctioned? Relocated? Destroyed?
Anyway, while time for a new chapter at DHS, Bob Newhart is still a comedic genius.

I think they will probably be adding standard walk up kiosks. Perhaps some tables. Hopefully SWL raises the bar for dining in the park.

According to the Orlando Sentinel article, it is confirmed.
