Surprised this would close so soon when it doesn’t seem necessary. Are they really going to needlessly close a 3D show for 3 years? They eat people and are cheap to run. Even the most-sophisticated new show doesn’t require a 3-year build.

This is Igers Disney, it's all about earnings reports and quarterlys

It'd make sense to start the build in the back with the coaster, yeah?
Another thing with the theater show is the fact that it'll (likely) be done in house by Pixar, along with (possibly) needing AAs made, they definitely don't have a film or AAs for this prepared, so it's not like they're going to rush to open the theater show first. Just feels like an odd move unless they're doing this just so they don't have to pay the staff and Sweetums actor there sooner for budget cuts?

That makes sense with the rumors of cuts this year.

Not just a 3D show, tons of AAs that have been kept in remarkably great shape - the penguins, Statler & Waldorf, Bean Bunny, Swedish Chef. Not to mention, Sweetums is an entertainment cast member. This will look phenomenal on a spreadsheet.

I hope you can hear the deep disappointment dripping from my tone

I think we can see the plan come together.

-MV3D
-RnR (get on it now gang)

+Villains
+Mermaid

Adding temporary capacity elsewhere was always the move here I guess in hindsight.

Also a more demand M&G likely coming:
+Bluey (I think)
-Olaf (I think?) or Disney Jr.

C'mon they aren't closing Muppets to save Operational Costs.

I wouldn’t be surprised if at destination d23 they announce a bluey overlay of Disney junior dance party with it closing at the same time as rock’n’rollercoaster this fall

I wonder how much of the theater is getting redone. I could see it getting partially gutted and rebuilt. And obviously new curtains.

That's when I always assumed it was coming.

TA - 2027
Monsters - 2028

Then Cars 2029 Villains 2030. There're already falling behind schedule for this 5 year plan, or Josh got ahead of himself at D23 and jumped the gun.

Maybe this could be where concept art for the theater show gets showed off.

I'm assuming they are closing the area now because it's part of the project timeline, not because it's saving them operational costs.

We all hoped they would stagger in phases, but this is not exactly Dinorama and Dinosaur in terms of proximity.

They are closing all of Grand Avenue in June. They are also shutting down two restaurants and a quick snack/beverage location which do generate revenue.

Mama Melrose for whatever reason is getting a head start.

Probably because thats where Harry Hassens is going and it needs a more extensive rebuild that Pizza Rizzo, which is in all likely hood a basic overlay on what is staying a pizza joint.
