I agree. I also wish that they would inform their front line cast members. I wrote to the Signature Services folks, since I have a reservation at Yacht Club club-level, as well as talking to the online chat folks, and both said they had nothing official, which could have been double talk for "we can't tell you cuz it's not official yet."
My communication with them was not that long ago! If they're planning on closing in about a little over a month, you would think that their they're front-line folks would have been notified with what to tell people when they were questioned. Something other than " we don't have any idea!"
But, I'm glad to see that the Gateway should be open and boats will be running to Hollywood Studios from the Resort's anyway. That's something! I know they have to close things sometimes to work on improvements and adding new features, I just wish we knew a little more in advance when they were planning on doing that.
