PI Update: The Demise Of Motion

10 years ago today Disney did not yet know about a future Disney Springs but it did already plan to create a new pedestrian pathway from Downtown Disney Marketplace to Downtown Disney West Side by building a pathway that required the tearing down of club Motion. 10 years ago the demolition began as pieces of the front facade were removed prior to bulldozers moving in!

The planned walkway would be routed through this castmember-only service corridor between Raglan Road and Portobello Country Italian Trattoria. At the time we called this area the "Motion Corridor" and this is what it looked like when it first opened in November, 2014 here.

As they readied Motion to come down, they also readied neighboring Rock'n'Roll Beach Club to come down next by removing all the glass windows.
