In the place where many a Disney fan once gawked at this statue, there now stands… a yellow cone. According to updates posted by DLPReport on X, it looks like construction is well underway in the area. While these updates do show that things are moving along nicely, Disney still has not announced a replacement date or even an official location change for the Partners Statue.

Something that Disney may not have predicted was the intense public outcry after removing the statue. Fans were incredibly upset and disturbed by the removal of the statue in a way that Disney may not have seen coming. Now, the pressure is on Disney more than ever to speed up this renovation and get the statue situated as soon as possible.
