It hasn't had anything done to it in months. It's just a steel frame. @WDWtraveler said that he heard Edison has the entire space now which would mean Walts isn't happening anymore.

Disappointment is limited to guests like us....Shareholders celebrate ....The new Disney experience

It's not a Disney venue. The Edison, as a company, has always had that whole complex.
Can you clarify "like us"?

Okay, but the way its sounded lately is that Walts might not be happening, especially since its not moving at all in terms of construction.

The Edison, Neverland Tunnels, and Walt's are all one complex run by an outside vendor (not Disney). From what I understand the Neverland Tunnels will be a speakeasy type bar only accessible through a secret passage from the Edison. Walt's will be comfort type food with some connection to Walt Disney's early years as a child growing up...apparently with some type of stage / theater component. No real inside knowledge...just some rumblings from friends in the know.

Problems with that project are not new.
Speak for yourself. So you're disappointed in something that was never officially announced, and now may or may not be happening???? The new doom & gloom. Let's be disappointed before something even happens. Sheesh.

Does this have anything to do with DW's Twitter account announcing something today at 2pm?

Holiday light show would be my guess....

It's pretty clear that construction has came to a halt on Walt's a couple months ago.

It was on the @WDWToday twitter account. You had to retweet and reply too get notification I guess?

I don't think this has to do with Disney springs. Maybe something about the 45th? Or a marketing campaign?

I suspect something in relation to the new theme. They always announce the theme of the year at the start of October

Yep, that's because the fiscal year starts in October.

I would not be surprised. I question how long Mermaid and Belle shows will last Hollywood Studios. It would make perfect sense for a broadway type show. They way they have designed disney springs, you could almost visit the area for a few days and do a ton. They have everything else but a broadway show. I expect it to be a pop up theater meaning the show could change ever so open. First up is Frozen. TRAGIC if you ask me. Disney springs is terrible now i hate it, yep I am in the minority. It is nothing more than a nice outside shopping mall. What is even more worse, the former downtown disney felt like disney and I felt comfortable. Walking around disney springs is like walking around any mall: if you are not attractive and have a nice frame, there is nothing for you.

But the majority of Downtown Disney is still there. The West Side and Marketplace are mainly the same as they were before and if you don't want to walk into the new area just cut through the landing and you can avoid it completely.
