The Magic Kingdom's 'Swiss Family Treehouse' will be closing
for a refurbishment later this month. The walk-through attraction closes on
3/17/2044 through to 3/28/2014. The Treehouse last went down for a refurbishment
in late 2011.
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover refurbishment
that was scheduled for earlier this year has now been rescheduled. It will now
take place from 5/3/2014 to 6/30/2014,
The Astro Orbiter is scheduled to close for a major
refurbishment in the summer of 2014. The closure begins on 5/3/2014 through to
8/20/2014.
The full rollout of MyMagic+ for Annual Passholders,
including both FastPass+ and MagicBands, is planned to take place within the
next couple of weeks. Some passholders have already been included during random
testing, but this next phase will bring all passholders on-board by mid-march
2014. Annual Passholders should soon see the option to customize and order
MagicBands in their 'My Disney Experience' account on the website or mobile
app. Delivery of the MagicBands is expected to take place in late March 2014.
As expected, Annual Passholders will have the ability to make FastPass+
reservations in advance of their arrival in the park, in a similar way to
resort guests staying at a Walt Disney World hotel.

Disney this week put up some great concept art at Downtown
Disney to give us a first look at what the Disney Springs West Side parking
garage will look like. The structures are not the typical concrete boxes, but
instead make use of perforated metal over metal fins. The design also calls for
louver panels and planter boxes.
The first of the two huge parking garages is currently under
construction as part of the Disney Springs redevelopment, and is expected to
open in late 2014.

Pollo Campero at Downtown Disney will be closing at the end
of operations on 3/19/2014. The quick service restaurant opened back in
November 2010 following the removal of McDonalds. The BabyCakes NYC bakery,
located inside Pollo Campero will also close at the same time. The restaurant
will be demolished to make way for the Disney Springs redevelopment of Downtown
Disney. No word as of yet on what will replace it.
