Would they need this space for the Food and Wine Festival?

The Alice overlay was neat-ish, but my least favorite of the iterations I saw (never saw Freeze the Night in person). It's been running since summer 2012, so it certainly seems like it's time to update the theme, if not completely scrap the concept It does seem odd that they're shutting this down right before the Alice sequel comes out this summer. From the blog post, it sounds like they aren't just updating it for the new film, so I don't know what the plans are

The switchback queue for a drink was easily 10 minutes long, which makes me wonder how many more people would have gotten drinks if they didn’t have to endure the line too
