8pm curfew lifted today.

The 8PM curfew was for downtown Orlando. There’s a 10PM county curfew.

All Orange County and Orlando curfews have been lifted.

So that's gonna be a.. pretty long project, huh?

Eh, i'd guess it'll be done sometime during HHN. I'm gonna assume the store will use an open floorplan (similar to World of Disney), so really once Utilities are in, it's just a matter of making the inside look pretty.

Im on the other side, I think they’ll use their visual merchandising team to create themed zones like the various Tribute Stores. JP, Minions, Potter, Marvel, Seuss, etc. guess we’ll see!

I could see that. Still wouldn't take overly long I don't think. But at the same time, it's not like they need to be in any hurry right now.

Chuck Plageman of Universal Informer facebook community posted a half dozen or so videos of Citiwalk yesterday. Crowds seemed decent. Lots of people waking around, decent safety spaced crowd at the outdoor
music area and indoors at Pat O'Briens too.

Any rumors on what’s going to happen to the old Studios Store? Are we expecting it to stay an empty shell for the indefinite future?
