You could at least add the new Tomorrowland entrance.

Sorry y'all I been kinda slacking on this lately. Almost all of the insiders on this subforum that I'm aware of have either disappeared or stopped giving out info ever since the Medium expose was published, so updates to this beyond official Disney confirmations are very hard to come by compared to when this thread was first created,

Anyway, new Tomorrowland entrance and Snow White permits have been added to the OP.
