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

If they remove the Hat, what are they going to replace it with? If it has anything to do with Frozen, I wont be going there anymore.

Hopefully, they will replace it with a once again fantastic view of the beautiful theater.

Yup, Friday is "take out the trash day" news wise. It keeps it from sitting in the news cycle during the weekdays. By the end of the weekend the story is gone.

Didn't really work that well the last time they tried it.

Maybe they will make an exact duplicate of the Epcot Icon and then put hole in it and call it the deathstar.

I was kidding. I was referencing the fact that everyone said they know it's official without their sources.

Anyway, on a real note, the website Intercot is announcing that it's "official". Once again, no sources, but I believe that's where everyone is getting their news from.

I don't know… My 10 years of being on this form and making contacts with inside the Walt Disney Company… I've got a pretty damn good reputation of being mostly spot on.

My sources remain anonymous and for the most part, I just don't post what they tell me anymore.

So you can question my sources all you want, but I'm very clear on this. I'm not going to burn them or any of my friends just to satisfy your curiosity.

You know, there's a meme.... including the ears.

This isnt breaking!!!!! This was rumored for TEN YEARS!

I'll believe it when I see it.

I mean it could be true and breaking at the same time... with TDO's maintenance, anything is possible.

With all the rumors from various sources saying the hat is coming down, has any of these sources reported of what will take it's place?

No, Its pretty study. Look at Steve's construction photos. Like a bunch of stacked rings.

Yes. Blue Sky. Maybe some rain, depending on the day.

Only Kuni from UHF Can explain it best...

Apparently an email was sent around today announcing the removal of the hat but nothing is posted on the Hub nor has anyone yet proven this to me.

Start at the 1:34 mark....

Actually, I like this one better. Start at 1:33

I've also heard that an email was sent to GSM's at DHS that the BAH was coming down but can't confirm.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Tick.




Tock.

He was indeed an awesome robot from Return To Oz........

Not what I was referring to. I have people in various different places that I wouldn't reveal to anyone, but I found it funny how people on this thread were posting that "they posted online that it's official" with no sources or anything. Nothing against folks like you, and I don't blame ya.

 

[FoozieBear]

I never thought that hat would actually come to being moved. At some point I just assumed it would be there forever. Truth is, I'm going to miss that hat once it's gone. The new-old view of the Chinese Theater would be cool, but I've always known it as seeing the hat down Hollywood Blvd. It will probably feel like I time-traveled.

NOTHING should be taking it's place, that's the whole point!
