Disney Confirms Expansion

   Earlier today, the Walt Disney World Resort confirmed that they would EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios would be getting some small, but needed, upgrades. At EPCOT, Soarin' will be taking on a bigger presence at The Land pavilion. A brand new theater (which should help moderate wait times) and ride film will be expected to debut in late 2016. Meanwhile, over at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Toy Story Midway Mania will be receiving a brand new third track to ride, increasing capacity, and moderating wait times as well. This third track is expected to debut in late 2016 as well.

Sorcerer Hat Update!

   It has been nearly 6 weeks since the beginning of the demolition of the Sorcerer Hat icon at Disney's Hollywood Studios began. What was once a towering icon that paid homage to the movie Fantasia is now a structural steel mess. Below are pictures of the current looks of the hat.

Now, they have begun on Mickey's left hand. There is still no update if any icon will be built in it's place. Below is a picture of the current demolition of the icon.
