The Kim Possible Meet and Greet location will be moved to the Streets of America
The Friends of JoJo's Circus and Little Einsteins Meet n Greet locations will be moved to the Animation Courtyard near Playhouse Disney Live on Stage!
The Mickey Mouse Meet & Greet location will be moved to the Sorcerer Hat. The displaced Meet & Greet will be intermittent and feature Mickey in his Classic attire.
The park area between Journey into Narnia and the Backlot Tour Entrance will be closed to Guest traffic (see diagram below).These changes are tentatively planned to remain in effect through the End of 2007, although this has yet to be officially scheduled.
The construction expansion will reportedly allow for the construction of the Toy Story Mania attraction entrance and exit areas; as well as, a staging area for further facade work.
