The walk up bar at the entrance between the new place and Tepan Edo had a black scrim around it last night. Are they already axing the concept?

Anyone else think a "lengthy" refurb means Summer 2023 is impossible? Either "lengthy" or "Summer 2023" is likely a big lie.

I feel like "lengthy" is the only kind of refurbishment WDW knows how to do anymore. ;)

"Enjoy Japanese fusion cuisine inspired by the ficticious city of San Fransokyo as featured in the Disney's Big Hero 6." coming soon¿?

That seems rather abrupt. I didn't see any notice of this earlier?
