Mr toads wild ride, if you saw the old disney magazine. There was a guy leaning against the plywood with his four head on his arm . That disney puts on a ride when they close it like he crying,and it was cloudy , but a ray of sun shined through the clouds on to his shoulder like Walt was saying it will be OK . Awesome photograph

If nothing else the closure of Circle of Life means they got rid of all those tacky character signs leading up to the theatre.

Yes they have been removed around the start of June....Check this update...https://chipandco.com/land-pavillion-circle-of-life-attraction-sign-and-plaques-gone-310333/

I agree. It looks pretty sad just sitting there empty. Here’s hoping that they’ll put something decent in there

Was not this place that would welcome the new Disney Performing Arts?

I’ve seen that floating around. If that’s true, I feel like this theater is too small of a venue for something like that. A lot of big groups come for DPA and want to watch other groups. I feel like this is just too small to handle that, unless they plan on making it bigger.

Currently the waiting area is opened for guests during inclement weather.

Does it have FP+ yet?

edit: oh....ok, a DVC sales pitch now. Lovely.

Really, not very tacky at all. Why not some nice gentlemen trying to sell me DirecTV while they're at it.

First the Imageworks, now this. *sigh*

It's a bargain! First, you buy your dvc membership here in a unused part of a building and then you get to access a quickly tossed together lounge in another unused part of a different building that's really a greenhouse full of screaming kids breaking iPads and throwing food!

Ya. I don't really like the Imagination lounge.

Uh well at least it's somewhat better than the imagination lounge. Mainly because I never liked the two shows that played here much to begin with.

I just want a Weather pavilion. I guess I'll keep on wishing.

Currently the waiting area is opened for guests during inclement weather.

I should have been more specific with that wish

Sadly, given the average guest that the Walt Disney Company seems to seek to attract these days, a DVC presentation will likely garner more attendance that the Circle of Life Environmental Fable. I do find it hypocritical that a company that is eliminating single use plastics, for the betterment of the environment, discontinued the showing of a character-based film about environmental awareness and will be distributing single use plastic bags at Splash Mountain.

Nothing wrong with wishing.

I see now...replace an environmental film with a sales pitch. A whole new level of tacky.

I'm sure the sales pitch was more entertaining.

The space is continuing to be used for various events/activities. It isn't DVC today.

 

[Sonconato]

It still would have been nice to have another related topic on the environment...or something a little more permanent.

I'm sure this won't just be for DVC, but it still is a bad look when Disney closes even an attraction that didn't draw many guests and puts a DVC presentation in there. It's more what is signifies than losing something important.
