Hello and welcome to the all new News Round Up Thread for 2017! This is a continuation of the old thread. This thread is for sharing the smaller news stories that happen around WDW, construction updates, rumors, observations, etc. We try to keep discussion to a minimum here on this thread. If a news story generates large discussion that will be moved to a new thread where more in depth discussion can take place. 2017 is sure to bring on many new and exciting things as well as things that might not be as exciting.

Universal News:

I just drove by Wet N' Wild this morning, signs are already down and they have a fence along the entrance and around the block that is covered with "Universal Orlando Resort". It appears they are going to start dismantling it TODAY. They are moving quick. I still have no idea what will be going there (hotels? Transport Hub?)

I don't recall seeing this in the last page or so of the 2016 thread, but some Rivers of Light merchandise is popping up on shopping apps.
