This begs the question, so what is going on in Disneyland's Innoventions? My guess it is the same exact thing. You will be able to see costumes and props from all seven movies. You can hear this about the last five minutes of episode 81 of the Disneydish podcast.

If it truly is a temporary promotion I can forgive it, but it seems to be another nail in the coffin of ever having anything vaguely educational, futuristic, or cultural in that park again >>...but I thought DL's Innoventions was closed till Sept 2016?<< I thought it was through the end of this September, but I'm not sure. Either way, the posted end date was the end of the Fiscal Year, which is a common placeholder they use when they really don't know how long a project will take.

It is temporary like all of the movie premiers and it does use an underused facility and gets more traffic. Long term I agree, Innoventions east and west need to be combined into one e ticket ride based on Wreak-it Ralph. Just kidding!
