The site will be replanted with shrubs and grass.

It has no Disney brand characters on it so it was never going to stick around for long under the new regime.
The ToT Scarlett Johansson movie project is still green lit after Chapek and her worked out their legal beef right?

That one and the Mission: Space billboard were removed back in... 2017, I think? Not sure why. I think it had something to do with the gondolas...

Weirdly, I distinctively remember there being more billboards on property before it was whittled down to just three. Is my mind just playing tricks on me?

Don't cry about every change is my stance. Cry about whats actually important.

If the fanbase didn't explode with outrage over every little single thing, then Disney might actually listen if it complained about something.

If the complainers let unimportant things like this sign go without it being a rage inducing moment, then they might listen if you had a large amount of complaints against something like changing Splash Mountain. But since every single thing gets the same level of complaints, they listen to exactly none of it.

I believe those were removed when the work started on all the enhancements to the magic kingdom entrance roadways. The bugs life one was definitely in the way of the new road being constructed, not sure if mission space one was. It might have been also as they added that road towards that avoids the parking tolls and goes towards fort wilderness.

That was quick.

Is this Universal?

Maybe they learned not to announce anything until right before it's going to happen.
This has probably been in the works for 5 years. 😂

Vast improvement!! Bravo Disney!!! I Love the new cleaner look!

More than that. Disney’s only interested in showmanship if it can be individually monetized and fed into an algorithm.
