Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

I have a friend in management over at Magic Kingdom and he said there are plans for a permanent stage where the BAH was. This shouldn't shock anyone, but take it for what it is.

As long it's like the castle stage and not a big canopy stage blocking everything, I'm okay with it.

Yeah, that is how I kinda feel too. I don't want it to obstruct the view. I hope they won't make that mistake again.

Tomorrowland stage 2!!

I'm guessing all that's gone in today's update is the gold and clear trim that was the ears. I'll be surprised if it's even all gone from both sides.

They cut slots in the trim on the one ear to expose the steel which leads me to believe they may not remove all the trim, but just cut the steel and take it apart in chunks.

Noting the pics taken of Starring Rolls: devoid of any life. Looks like Starbucks strikes again.

So is Starring Rolls gone forever now?

No. Still operating.

Here's a small version of the first computer screen wallpaper I put on my computer from WDW. When we got back from our first trip, all we wanted to do is get back to that place with the Hat. And now it is no more.

Okay, we get it. It's okay to disagree, but at some point you've got to drop it or you sound like a troll.

Now let's watch the response if/when that permanent stage gets built.

see that thing in front, the 100 years of magic sign...the hat was supposed to be gone the next year along with that sign...it was never supposed to stay longer than that, but Disney got cheap.

Carousel of Progress was designed for the World's Fair but "cheap" Disney just keeps at WDW instead of getting rid of it.

Maybe it's not only because Disney is "cheap" but because A LOT of people like the hat.

A LOT of people don't know any better.

Ya know after I saw this I realized that I didn't hate the hat as much as I thought I did. I just really hated the location. I don't know why, but I'm starting to agree that the hat could have been better served elsewhere. I missed the old view and I can't wait till the rest of this thing is gone but this picture made me think that the hat wasn't as bad as I thought, just the placement wasn't right.

Starring Rolls closes early everyday at 3 or 4 pm. This is nothing new. They just took a picture of the location closed for the day and falsely reported that Starbucks has overtaken which isn't true.

Doesn't look like much (if anything) was done last night

 

[yeaitspootie]

Gotta chime in and say how happy I am that this is finally happening. It's so surreal to see it finally come down, it's a strange feeling.

To anyone who liked or loved the hat, I'm sorry you're losing something you enjoyed. But just like I learned to enjoy the hat, you all will also soon love the view of the Chinese Theater.

The sadness you feel over losing the hat ... that's the sadness most felt when the hat was left up for 14 years destroying the view.

The hat should have been built where they originally intended it to be built.

When will Disney realize (they used to know this) that you spend the money and do it right the first time and then you won't have to go through this (much like the refurb on Mermaid, shoulda done it right the first time and they wouldn't have to do the updates now ...). I mean, how hard is it?

Generally, they haven't been doing anything on it over weekends so I'm not surprised nothing happened last night.

If it wasn't hard, everybody would be doing it!

That's no excuse for Disney though.

I think they did the last two weekends. Remember seeing pictures.
