DtD closure dates looking to be 6/2 ESPN, 6/17 everything else?

DIS article http://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories/downtown-disney-businesses-to-close-earlier-than-expected/ they're trying to peace together stuff on their own here but I still think it's worth a heads up for those going mid-late June. Their info is based on conversations with servers at ESPN for that date, and they're using the DL calendar hours for the RFC, SBUX, Earl and Alamo. That calendar is known to not update this far out though, has anyone else heard/seen anything more substantive?

Amc and Earl of Sandwich to close the weekend of June 15-17

Starbucks June 28

Whoa!
I guess I had not realized this was coming! Will all of downtown Disney be demolished? I’m sad to think we won’t have time to shop in those fun downtown Disney style stores on our vacation next month.

No all of did is not being demolished. the restaurants and places gottalovepluto mentioned are I think the only ones or most. It is only a section that is making room for a new hotel.

Basically everything between the LEGO store and the Disneyland hotel is going. So the secondary Starbucks, the dvc sales office, Alamo(moving to paradise pier hotel), espn zone, rainforest cafe, early of sandwich, and the amc.

Sigh. Lots of memories at ESPNzone. Glad I'll be able to enjoy a few last drinks there next weekend.
