What Disney changed, what is closed or closing and when, the hours Disney has published
ahead, and what is counting down. Every line is from Disney’s own pages, with the day it was read
and a link to the page. Nothing here is a rumour.
What changed
Disney’s own listing of everything at Walt Disney World, read once a day and compared
with the day before. A thing appears here because Disney added it, stopped listing it, or changed its
name or address on a named day. Nothing is inferred; a thing that stops being listed is not the same as
a thing that closed.
