OK Maybe I'm the only one shocked but what does DHS has going for them this year besides TOT Beacon Of Magic??
Well, Galaxy's Edge and Runaway Railway were supposed to propel that park for the next few years.
True, but I meant Entertainment. MK/Epcot looks to be on the right track....I think? But DHS???
The same statement stands, for the Studios, the expectation is that Galaxy's Edge and Railway will sustain the park regardless of the lack of entertainment offerings. Big cost saving for the company, but obviously not good for the guests.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
What do they need? It’ll be absolutely packed. Most visitors to the parks haven’t been to TSL let alone SWGE or MMRR.
Or LMRA.

Am I reading it correctly that the sourcing for this is Permit end dates? We know that’s not exactly science…
That's true. The Studios doesn't need help in TDO's eyes

BlogMickey doesn't quite have the best track record....
I read it as permits indicate that work is happening, and unnamed sources say that work won't be done until next year
Hmm, that's not the vibe I get, but perhaps I'm putting their track record up against other blogs, which seems to be worse
Mike does a solid job of researching these things before posting - so don't lump them in with some of the other sites.

They could bring back the hub shows there - Galactic Spectacular or Wonderful World of Animation/Movie Magic. Insiders have said that transportation issues is the main reason those things are not returning soon (concerns about transportation being taxed with crowds for the MK and Epcot shows in July). Perhaps if they feel more comfortable with transportation at some point later this year, they might bring that stuff back even if F! is not running.

Where’s the four-month anniversary cupcake?

Yep, this is all about cost savings and no "need" for entertainment from Disney's perspective. DHS will do just fine without it. The only issue would be if the new entertainment offerings at other parks end up pulling too many folks from DHS.

You're right. For some reason I was confusing them with Inside the Magic.
Right before reading this article, I commented to a Disney fan in my office, "I'm surprised they didn't announce the Oct 1 return of Fantasmic with the other 50th anniversary announcements" --
Now, it makes sense.
This seems entirely credible to me. It also means we can expect AK and DHS to be largely ghost-towns at night for the rest of the year (compared to MK and Epcot).
