Some of the props were still there as of a week or 2 ago, I think most were very recently removed. Walt's plane was taken away a few months ago, to where is the question.

I believe it was said that Writer's Shop won't be closing, for now.

Any pictures as of today?
Looks to be the same. The only facade standing as of this morning is the one nearest Writers Stop

Is HISTK play ground still standing? It looked like it was next.
Just advice....Don't ask for pics everyday. The members here that post them will post each time there are new ones.
As of this morning, yes

Most likely. The Workers may have Saturday Sunday off.

If this land is ever used for future attractions like one of his tweets says, how easy would it be to connect it through the area around Star Tours?

The Tweet is incorrect, the planning documents clearly say that that area will be parking. Someone already responded to the tweet showing the relevant parts of the document.

That cleared area should be for the parking expansion.

Figures that one of the best areas for park expansion isn't being used for park expansion.
Would it be easy to connect though? Isn't that road being removed?

There are plans for a new entrance coming from the intersection of Victory and Osceola, but it's still not clear if the old entrance road will remain or not.

That seems like an awful place for parking expansion. It cuts off a huge plot of land for future use. Where could they even expand now if they wanted to?

It's not but they totally changed the Writer's Shop. It's more of a place to get alcohol now. I talked to a CM about it because I knew it looked kinda odd when I was in there in May and she said they decided to leave it open but to give more of a feel like being at a bar as opposed to a bookshop. There was just people in there sitting around having drinks and stuff. I actually don't drink so it's like it's the same as closed to me. She said even that wasn't a for sure thing going forward though.

If they wanted to add on they would move the parking further out and then build the attractions where the parking is now. Surface parking isn't that expensive and a lot of the prep work would be the same as if you were going to build attractions so it's not a big loss if they do use it. There is also the possibility that this is just going to be interim parking until they build garages.
