They're not refurbishing because it's the purple Wall, they're refurbishing it anyway and people just noticed because it's the purple wall. Paint is supposed to start going up over all of Tomorrowland, this is just the easiest to get to.

Paint is a good start ... it'd be nice if they made an effort to replace Stitch .... I mean, the fact that any attraction or any restaurant at the MK is "seasonal" is a joke. Tomorrowland needs more than a paint job but it's a good start. Amazing this thread started in 2016 and we're still kind of waiting. They did the rocks and some other things which should have been kept up with to begin with. It's all a nice start and I'm not trying to be ungrateful but they sure waste a lot of time and money, IMHO.
Can they stop running the place like they're going out of business?

↩ replying to Kman101Baby steps, they have to start somewhere.
I think they know Stitch will be replaced, they are just hamstrung deciding what will replace it.

Still boggles my mind, even in @wdwmagic 's news image of the new paint going up, it's obvious that people have made this wall a "thing". Can't believe WDW hasn't found a way to monetize images taken of this wall.

↩ replying to ABQGive them a minute. I'm sure they're working on it.

↩ replying to ABQThey kind of have...they are selling merchandise for the purple wall...Magic bands, I am sure there will be a photo frame available soon as well....See how they amuse the masses without building an attraction? you don't even notice the new parking fees!

Well, Disney monetizing anything will be far less mind boggling as the number of images with the #purplewall or whatever on twitter and instagram. I'm old, I admit such things just won't ever make sense to me.

↩ replying to PorterRedkeyI know. It's a start. I appreciate the work that's been done and going to be done. I'm just choosing to be impatient today lol
It just feels like such a long time for Stitch and I just see it being a rerun of old, bad behavior. I know it will be replaced but it just seems a little ridiculous they haven't. Something could have already been open. It just seems cost saving for the sake of it.

I think like they are really limited on what can go into that space where Stitch is, but I could be way off base there.

This would fit tron land.. I mean tommorowland...

↩ replying to TJ VazquezUnless they really wanted to invest some money, yeah, they probably are limited. It just seems bad show to have the busiest park have any attraction considered 'seasonal' no matter how bad I think it is, lol.
I mean, they can't even replace 3D shows at this point, we get a short film festival ...

With the addition of Tron, there is the potential to make Tommorowland into something truly special. While it may not match the original grandeur of the land, I'm excited to see it getting some love. It has been the most dated looking land at MK for some time now. I'm also interested to see how this reimagining will stack up/differentiate itself from the plans for the new Future World at EPCOT.

↩ replying to Kman101Yeah, closing a show/attraction to open a meet-n-greet instead is not my idea of forward-progress.
C
↩ replying to Kman101This! Exactly this.
Stitch should have never been closed or moved to seasonal until work was ready to begin on its replacement.
It's even worse that it's literally the first attraction you come to when you enter Tomorrowland from Avenue of the Planets.
