The Friendship boats I get, that makes total sense.
Whew...

This was my thought. The IG walkway is one place that they would seemingly have to close completely during rope pulling at that location. I hope they wait to pull the IG station's rope for the last. That way, they could get the process as efficient as possible before pulling there, and maybe minimize the amount of time it would be closed to foot traffic.
As of this week, no.

Based on the concept art, and usage of MisterPenguin's edited image here, they may extend the wave tips a bit further from where they are now.
Me too.

This may be pure optimism but I'm choosing to believe this estimate because my trip to AoA is the week of Memorial Day!
And Tommy will have to author a correction to his post in 3...2...1

And just like that, he did.
New Disney Park Blog and video (nothing we didn't already know), but posted likely to remind people about the upcoming construction...

No need to have sound on. It's all text.

I have to hand it to him, he's figured out a way to generate more traffic. He writes an incorrect, clickbait post, and then gets to write an update post with the correct information when Disney writes to him to tell him how he's wrong

If, you know, you care more about clicks than providing accurate information. But I guess that's why he's known as "clickbait".
And he blames Swolphin for "despite what information" is being distributed by them, implying the Swolphin said the IG was closing when, in fact, they only announced no ferry service.
BTW, if anyone is at WDW and wants to get good pics of the Pop station and the towers if they're going up, just go to the fourth floor on one of the lakeside Pop resorts. Great views from there.

"As Disney Skyliner construction continues near International Gateway at Epcot in the coming months, International Gateway will remain open to Guests traveling along the connected pedestrian walkway.
During construction, Friendship Boat service will remain available to the resort hotels around Crescent Lake as well as Disney's Hollywood Studios. While Friendship Boat service to Epcot is expected to be unavailable from late November until mid-December, Guests will be able to use bus service or the walkway to access Epcot. "
