#YearOfAThousandCuts strikes again, This was one of the most interesting places at DHS.

Bummer, as a movie geek, I loved seeing the movie props. Frankly, though, it didn't seem to be refreshed the past couple times I'd gone, so it's been a while since I've been in there.
Anyone who's recently been in there have some photos to see if it's worth hitting up one more time.
As far as a replacement, could we be seeing a Star Lord meet and greet to utilize the rumored jacket seen in costuming? Throw in some GotG props and I'm sold.

Disney should PAY US to visit EPCOT, It's the only thing which will increase attendance in the non-Drunkytown time of year

Hrmm....Looks like Three to me...
Disney ruins another iconic movie scene - trouble is I can see them doing this we should not be giving them ideas...

@danlb_2000 Have we still not seen any permits for DHS? It seems like attractions are dropping like flies.

No it is officially a museum. The cases are locked, alarmed and atmospherically controlled. It requires a Museum Curator as well as Security personnel, you will see Disney Security walking through AFI on a regular basis and they are responsible for locking the building at night and unlocking it in the morning. Custodial staff need to request to get in to clean after hours. This is the same for HOP and AA.

That was my first thought as well.

I feel that we've said that before.
Personally, I think they're using this area for Yeti testing.

Why do people always make every thread all about Epcot?

Nope, nothing special permit wise for DHS.

Because...Epcot.
Seriously, though, I will miss this attraction. I always enjoyed spending time in there looking around.

Saving money then, Guess the next earnings call is going to be a doozy for P&R

They must have double secret permits because obviously they are building Star Wars. Why else would they be closing all these attractions? It's not like Disney to close attractions without replacements...
I'm sorry. I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

Sad to see this go, especially since it so easily could be relocated elsewhere. I always enjoyed it, and the shop as they added to the environment of Hollywood. I bought many a Marilyn book there. 
Here is a thread with some photos from the last time I was there...

Maybe the contract just ran out with AFI or something.

Seriously with this gone, what's left of the backlot tour??? They must be planning something. The backlot tour serves no real purpose anymore, it has to be closing soon. That whole back area has to be nearing time for redevelopment . I can guess this won't be the last we hear of stuff changing in that part of the park. They should either build a cars land or Star Wars land there.
