It's an avalanche of news - but @marni1971 has pretty much confirmed for a few months now that the Chinese Theatre facade was staying untouched.
As far as the new vs. old Mickey, I love them both for different reasons. The cheeky and subversive humor of the current shorts reminds me of the first few years of Mickey's career. So I'm stoked at a crashing drive-through version of something akin to the frantic pace of "Get A Horse."

This is odd, because never has a ride used 2-D-style characters. The characters are always three-dimensional-looking in rides, because, well, we're three dimensional. And life's three dimensional.
I can't imagine feeling part of the story with these versions of Mickey and Minnie. I fear that it'll be like watching a Mickey short while you move around.
Personally I would much much much rather the "Hiya, pal!" Mickey Mouse Clubhouse version. I could envision a much more engaging ride.

Okay, I take that part back. I suppose it's been done before, but not for a long while.
As far as I know. It's more I haven't heard of any planned changes to it and the new ride should use the existing queue areas.

I'm curious as to the timeline as well. I know it'll be a demolish of the inside and then the new ride system will have to be built but as it seems this ride will be using a lot of flat, white set pieces, I can't imagine this taking almost 2 1/2 years. In my head, I'm picturing late 2018/early 2019. @marni1971
I'm anticipating around 25-ish months away.

Yes, yes. There's "my" timelines and there's Disney timelines and I must remind myself they are two VERY different things.

I heard a minor rumor that it was staying... what say you?Did I mention that it is staying?

Well, it is just a cartoon drawing. If people reject it all that have to do is break out an eraser and redo the damn thing.

Ah yes, the beloved day-glow cardboard cutouts. One just don't get no more high tech than that there!

But, but, SCREENZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because they wanted this open alongside Star Wars Land. Just the way it is sadly.
In line for that right now here in Disneyland. It's fun and classic.

Not saying it isn't... but then again so are roadside carnivals. It was OK but certainly not the quality I had come to expect from Disney, especially Walt. However, Walt kind of had a sense about how to mix up things to make it interesting for everybody. Not necessarily that everybody would like everything, but, that everybody would find things that they liked. I'm about three years older now then Walt was when he passed away and I'm pretty sure that nothing I have ever done is going to be discussed at all after I am gone. So I will bow to his superior ability on that front.But, but, SCREENZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
