It will probably become a Starbucks.

They have to be down for SWW, I would imagine. Which is only 3 1/2 weeks away.

As much as I want to see an announcement too, there is also a lot of construction currently going on in the WDW property. Downtown Disney is getting a major overhaul, AK is nothing but construction walls, and MK has the walls up in the Hub (or at least it did). Even though it is frustrating, I can understand if Disney doesn't want every park to be destroyed by construction at the same time- cause that would deter guests. Let's hope that once MK hub work is finished, AK work is in its last legs, and Disney Springs is relaunched that Disney is ready to talk construction for HS (and Epcot). In the meantime, let's hope there are some awesome plans and concept art being created as we speak. I'm optimistic that August will bring us a lot of exciting news!!!!!

A large portion of those props are being sent to Disneyland Paris for a renovation and expansion of their backlot tour. It's likely going along with that, though it's backstory should keep it in WDW IMO.

if thats true.. thats awful lol!.
I honestly would make a fixed model of the plane and convert it into a fountain prop at Echo Lake.
With a commemorative plaque.
But now the park just sits idle with a bunch of closed attractions. They could've started construction without it being of any inconvenience and without a lot of construction walls if they wanted to. But I do like your optimism. DHS was my favorite when I first visited so I wanna see it get the treatment it deserves.

Fantasyland took 5 years because they changed plans mid stream. If they had built everything as planned from the beginning it would probably have taken under 3 years.

They should keep Walt's plane in WDW. Perhaps they could use it over in EPCOT to fill Innoventions West with a nice history type ride of WDW or some sort of exibit about the history of WDW, etc. Oh, wait.... that would be too expensive. They'll probably just refurbish it, get it flight ready. Then fly it to DLP and then decommission it again for their backlot ride. Naaaa... No way that would be more expensive than trucking to EPCOT for... GASP a new experience.
But seriously, they could and should take the collective history bits from DHS and EPCOT and combine them together for a new Innoventions West experience. They could take Walt's plane, One Man's Dream exhibit and the history timeline of EPCOT from the hallway behind fountain view and make a really nice exhibit. They could make it a walk through for really cheap or an omnimover type ride for not so cheap.
