They're there, Disney just blocked the view of them with a Giant hat.
As far as I know, they haven't been on for months, maybe even almost a year.
Really hope they're not gone for good but I think they might be.
They light way above the hat, and you can see them throughout WDW property. They have not been seen operating for a couple of weeks. I'm trying to work out if they are being refurbed or removed, and when they were last seen working.
If It makes you feel better I got it, and I chuckled.
And honestly I hadn't noticed until this very night, even though I've visited the studios frequently since the opening of Star Tours II. The reason I noticed tonight was that I was wondering around DAK at night (it was open until 7:00 this evening and it gets dark around 6:00ish this time of year) and I noticed that they weren't shining behind Everest, I thought perhaps it was because of the Osborne Lights, but now that you mention it I haven't noticed them in a while either.
