BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Looks like all the Hess stations at Walt Disney World are changing over to Speedways... Posted on July 15, 2015by jameycic Hess Station at Magic Kingdom To Close Thursday July 16One of the most Iconic Hess stations in the Country will close its doors on Thursday July 16,2015 at 4am. Where it then will go through a quick refurbishment to become a Speedway, so quick in fact that it is planned to reopen as a “Speedway” at 6am on Friday Morning July 17th. The Hess Stations on Walt Disney World property have been known to offer guest gas prices better than outside the resort, and there is no sign that it will change under the re-brand. We Will however lose the Iconic Hess Truck display and large signs at this location in the refurbishment, According to an employee at the MK Hess we most likely will not see many changes on the inside except new paint and re-branding. I also noticed that the Hess Station at Hollywood Studios (on Lake Buena Vista at Boardwalk Area) has already been rebranded, this is part of the National deal where Speedway bought Hess (you can find more info on that here) http://www.disneyroyals.com/2015/07/goodbye-to-magic-kingdom-hess/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
