I'm having a hard time finding an official announcement for when Streets of America got its closing date, but the earliest I can find was in January 2016, with an April 2016 closing date. Two months apart, same as if they announce at D23 and close in Late August/Early September.
Closing Streets of America really didn't require a lot of advanced notice. All anyone had to do is to find a different place to walk. There was really not much of anything that hadn't been previously announced or actually closed, like Lights, Action or the Backlot tour, the later being not much either.
By Streets of America I meant the general area. I should've been more specific. Backlot closed well before it, but a blog post about Lights, Motors, Action! closing was the first I could find on a date for either it or SoA. Streets of America did stay open the day after LMA ended, oddly.
Well, we'll know about 60 days (FP+ availability) if nothing else.
Thats a lot of things cut down D:
Agree, it was amazing how long they took to do a simple clean up of props and remove the Pearl Habour thing.

Wikapedia says it opened in 91?
Don't think so, but remember -- DHS started out as MGM, so maybe Corporate is trying to get that bad taste out of its mouth...
Disney-MGM Studios was actually a great idea. The long-term planning could have been better and the concept didn't age well but it was a good idea though, unlike Epcot (Ahem) it is time for the park to have a radical change in concept to make it relevant again.

Glad to see I'm not alone. I did flinch when I read somewhere on here that apparently "all that stuff became old fashioned in the 90s". Guess it just shows a) that you love the park when you first visited (92) and b) I'm an 80s girl at heart!
