The project was one of those listed as "defunded," so depends when they make funds available to finish the project. May be quite a while.

No because its all based on sources. Disney doesn't release this info.Was there an official list?
Blog Mickey posted an article on it again based on sources but its also not unexpected. I have heard similar things. Many people are reporting that Disney is delaying, and halting project funds. Defunding just means that, doesn't mean the project is not going to happen and will be scrapped, just means the money flow has stopped.Where did you see this?
I thought it was almost finished. Seems a weird one to defund unless it was a lot further behind schedule then it appeared which is possible. .
Patina is owned by Delaware North, who has laid off basically their entire work force to preserve cash.Also have the aspect of it being operates by the Patina group - no idea what their financial position will be coming out of this, but have to factor in you need Disney to free up funds to finish construction and then the Patina group to be able to operate it (or maybe goes the other way in the Disney won't free up the funds until Patina demonstrates they will be able to operate it).

Yes. I am extremely skeptical of anyone - even a reliable source - who would claim that work will not immediately restart on this, ratatouille, or the Epcot spine once we’re back to normal.I guess I thought Space 220, minus the broken screen or whatever it is, was 95% done? Seems like one you would want to limp across the finish line.
That's what I understood too - that the only reason why it hadn't opened was because they were waiting for that custom, huge, space glass piece that had broken and they needed to figure out how to install it. Defunded probably means there's no one working on it now and no money allocated to anyone working on it. I do hope that when WDW gets ready to open back up, that they get back to working on it.I guess I thought Space 220, minus the broken screen or whatever it is, was 95% done?

The spine is an interesting prospect. I think we see scaling back in that area. Obviously still work on it but likely not the plans that they had unveiled.Yes.

Yeah I can foresee changes, even drastic ones, but the idea that they'd stop work is not believable - the park isn't navigable in it's current form.The spine is an interesting prospect.

A subsequent post had the same list, the only difference is space restaurant was listed with projects to be completed.The project was one of those listed as "defunded," so depends when they make funds available to finish the project. May be quite a while.
