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

It would have looked great right before the security check point before entering the park.

And that was the original plan if it could be moved and if the ground could support it.

So will today be the big day or must we wait until Monday? I wait with anticipation....

Waiting til Monday at least.

The big day will come in May. Some are being a bit too optimistic.

It still would have been an ugly, pointless decoration for the sake of having something "Disney."

They've cleaned up the ring into nice little segments, all ready for the torch. Notice the cuts in the upper gutter, and the paint cleaned off the ring. Let the slicing begin!

If you look around the edge of the circular ridge that is left you will notice some notches along the top. I would say that is where they will cut out the sections. The last pieces should be the ones that are directly resting on the three remaining posts (legs). Small sections probably about the same size as the pieces that are bolted together that are very visible.

Interesting post from the guy who complains about folks repeating comments from several pages back...

Highly doubt it...As you can see in the all new Star Wars weekends poster...Earffile Tower is the Icon...

Why so highly doubtful? It has been changed to ToT. It's easy enough to check yourself:

Just took this screenshot myself. Plus, someone else posted their own screenshot earlier in the thread too.

I think we're thinking over this icon thing too hard here. It really doesn't mean anything other than it gives a thumbnail or image to where one is headed to help navigate, be it software or guide maps. I wonder who gets to choose these things. In some companies the programmer themselves sees the opportunity to influence the design (hey, no one told me what icon to use...) But you'd think in Disney it would be marketing's choice. I wouldn't be surprised to see this change to a rough outline of the Theater there once the demolition and construction of the new stage is done.

That's when walls should be totally down and the stage up, yes. Exciting. But the skyline should be restored soon.

I'm in no way saying they are officially changing the park icon to ToT, but they are certainly using it in some situations as a replacement for the hat including within the app.

Frankly I don't think Disney has decided what the new icon will be. ToT and the Tower are probably fillers for now until the theater is completed and the theater will become the icon in the end.

I'm sure that there must be a point in that post someplace. If you can locate it, please, let me know. Thanks!

 

[Rose&Crowner]

Frankly, tbh, imho, the new icon will be interchAngeable inflatables. I thought I already told you.

You just made the point - thank you!

How is it you successfully argue your way into a corner time and time again?

No more ears!

I'm imagining Ozzy singing that...

I don't use Twitter or Instagram and I know a lot of the recent pictures of the progress has come from them. Anyone found anything on the progress from last night?

As far as I know there is no construction on the weekends (friday, saturday) expect to see something Monday morning, though.

Spot. On.
