Overview
- Crews lifted and towed Goofy’s red hot rod from the courtyard between Pop Century’s 1960s and 1970s sections on September 23, leaving a vacant spot where the car had stood for more than two decades.
- A video posted by Dash Destinations and shared across outlets shows the removal and a later clip shows temporary barriers placed around the empty display area.
- The social post attributes the action to a damaged windshield, but Disney has not issued any public statement confirming the reason or outlining repair or replacement plans.
- The removal follows room, lobby, and dining updates at Pop Century earlier in 2026, making the absence notable to returning guests who value the resort’s oversized nostalgic icons.
- What to watch next: whether Disney repairs and reinstalls the hot rod or retires it permanently, and whether the company will give a timetable or explanation that could affect guest expectations.
