Walls in Front of Chinese Theater Come Down at Disney's Hollywood Studios:

Today the walls in front of the Chinese Theater at Disney's Hollywood Studios came down after months of the deconstruction of the Sorcerer's Hat. Now the foundation of the hat is still there but now plants and greenery take the place of the infamous hat that was blocking the theater. Photo's are courtesy of Dave Holland on Twitter, @Daveh787.
