Downtown Renovation Start Date

Does anyone know when things will start closing at Downtown Disney or if the closings have already begun?? I have heard that Rainforest Cafe, Earl of Sandwich, etc will be closing for the making of another Disney hotel. Does anyone know when this will start?

Last I heard construction was slated to begin summer 2018.

Thanks so much Lynn!! We are going to DL this coming Saturday and was hoping that construction had not started yet so that all the dining options were still available.
