News Circle of Life at The Land Pavilion permanently closing in early February 2018

[marni1971]

So, would it be getting a interior and exterior overhaul? Or should I lower expectations? How long would it be closed?

The project scope and details aren’t finalised yet. I doubt it will be as drastic as 2005.

Timon amd Pumba always felt shoe-horned in...Wall-E was actually about destroying and repairing the environment... Truly if thewre were ever a perfect fit, this is it. and Wall-E and Eve animatronics would be a great dynamic addition to the show...

Shame they could have taken it another direction since they now own this movie..

The Land will be getting a sizeable refresh in the not too distant future.

Please don’t say most of LWTL will get a refurb just the final film and maybe narration is all I want

Is it actually confirmed that this is a WALLE show? I have no issues with this leaving but hopefully they at least replace it with a new actual attraction.

Nope.

Cartoon IPs are atonal to FW.

Having said that, I get your point, but I think it is a mistake, albeit one that Joe Rhohdhe makes too so you're in good company. Environmentalism is better served by showing what is worth to protect, than by showing what is left after destruction. Show beauty, not ugliness.

i.e. The reason why I don't like the implications of having Pandora in Animal Kingdom, what with the whole point of humans going to that planet being that we destroyed our own.

What about something presented by DisneyNature?

That would be nice.

Now where will I take a catnap after too many samplings during food and wine?

Oh there are many great spots.

I'd be all for a DisneyNature piece. Or a cute Wall-E piece explaining how recycling actually works. (See him stumble upon a recycling plant. - though sounds better for a short vs. attraction.)

Given the current political landscape, I have to wonder if they will shy away from a conservation/environmental message (despite it's key tie to the concepts of The Land).

DisneyNature seriously needs more attention. I remember really loving the first two films when they were new. I need to get around to checking out the newer ones eventually.

And today's the last day.

Where can I buy overpriced Circle of Life- An Environmental Fable "going away" merch like they had for GMR and UOE?

i sat through the entirety of circle of life - an environmental fable twenty-three years after it opened and all i got was this lousy t-shirt

The last show is currently about half full, the people who are here seem enthusiastic though.
Many people seemed surprised to find out it was the last ever when entering.

 

[Chicagoshannon2]

I forgot how big that theater is. Too bad they won't be putting anything new in that space.

SAVE THE WALL CARPETING!!

Could use a better logo.

I wonder what would be a better choice than iceberg sleeping beauty castle. A tree made up of animals, perhaps?

I highly doubt it.. and I hope not.

Went to the last and final show presented. It wasn't full to capacity I would say at least 30% of the theater was full of guests. But it was nice to see it one more time as they finally closed for Good.
