Does anyone know yet if Writer's Stop is closing? Honestly, it's my favorite spot to stop for coffee in all of Disney. It's right on the edge of the NY section of the streets of America, so I'm unsure if it will survive or not. But as someone who dislikes Starbucks coffee, and cannot have the sugar found in the fountain "iced coffees" from the machines at various Disney counter service restaurants, I will be incredibly disappointed if that shop is taken away!

I was in DQ yesterday, it was New Year's Day, Disney Sprimgs was busy but DQ was if not quite deserted very very quiet. Even if the nba restaurant doesn't go ahead I'm pretty sure Disney will close DQ, at this stage it must be costing them money to keep it open rather than generating any profit of its own.

I only went in because I'm a pass holder and it costs me nothing to while away a couple of hours there, no one is paying at the door to get in. It looks tired inside, there's no draw to it anymore, whatever the plans for the site are I'm sure DQ's days are numbered.

Disney not answering guest questions about closing for DQ and you saying they could clear it up tomorrow isn't any different then the MONTHS of misinformation about Star Wars Weekend....it was still posted on their website, CMs were telling guests IN WRITTEN EMAIL that it was going to happen, the did announce an enormous expansion all about Star Wars, new movie coming out, etc etc etc.......and then poof they announce Star Wars Weekend was cancelled with a one sentence announcement in the middle of paragraphs of other news. Personally, I think Disney marketing is enjoying all this rumor mill.....Disney gets so much press out of all of this that they are delighted....so expect more of this cat and mouse (pun intended) about announcements. Sure, people get mad and threaten to not renew their Annual Pass or ever visit Disney again.....but gee, the parks are busier than ever, hotels are full, dining reservations more difficult to get.....so either those are the minority or it's an empty threat. I wish they'd go back to the openness we had a few years ago....then loyal guests knew what was coming and didn't have this love hate relationship. But, negativity seems to make more money. :(

So glad muppet vision is staying!!!

I just booked a stay at Disney a few days ago and specifically asked about Disney Quest (I booked through runDisney, which often gives free passes to DQ of you boom through them). The cast member I spoke with told me it was closing in May.

Not sure if that's official or not, but just relaying what I was told.

Interesting, I was told by a cast member on Tuesday that the estimated close date for DQ was June 1st, 2016.
