Thanks for these updates- I am curious about the Hall of Presidents- I heard there is a chance that it may be delayed longer.
Also- this is interesting: Disney's Beach Club Resort - Expansion work on the Convention Center 8/4/2016 - 2/1/2018. Guests may see work or hear the work in progress and certain pathways may be unavailable. Work will be conducted 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Beach Club bus stop has been moved to the Beach Club Villas parking lot. There will be a courtesy shuttle to get guests to the bus stop.
Its not very far away, why would they need a shuttle ? It reminds me of the movie 'the Jerk" - ... "How far are you going?" "Just to the end of that fence" " Ok great!!"
I cannot see the value of getting someone on a shuttle, driving 50 feet and then getting them to get off.. Even a person in a wheel chair would have no issue getting over to the new spot. Additionally I am sure there will be signs pointing them towards the new stop. So I doubt people will walk in that direction.

I did some research on several different sites and nothing has officially delayed the opening of the Hall of Presidents. There are several rumors that it will be delayed but currently, only posting official versus rumors.
I agree that I don't see the purpose of the shuttle but I found that do be on several different sites so I didn't make it up. Why not just walk 50 feet or so??? Remember there are people out there that will complain if they have to 10 extra paces. Disney is trying to stop those complaints.

LOL - I didn't mean for you to think I thought you made it up
Hall of Presidents is one of my favorites , I always look forward to it, basically because the animatronics are so lifelike, but I am also a big president buff.
