I hope they aren’t returning it to the pre-pandemic version. The current version is much better, and the best version of the show they’ve ever run. Hopefully, any show changes are limited to allowing more audience participation things. But maybe it’ll just be basic theater maintenance and no show changes at all.

WE saw this for the first time in April and absolutely loved it!
They need to remove the benches and get an earth-mover in there to get up the mounds of guano.

Yeah. Let's hope it's just to spruce up, give the cast and birds a break, and clean up the bird poop.
I can't see any changes coming. The show is popular once again, and is being operated by a third party for relatively low costs. I think it will just be maintenance.

That says a lot that a show operated by a third party is better than something run by Disney.

I bet they want to setup a meet and greet location so after the show they can charge people to get some pics with the birds.
Glad to hear the likelihood of changes is low. Took them awhile (and a pandemic) to get the show right.
I didn't know it was a third-party operator. That's interesting. Has it always been a third-party, or only since the pandemic re-opening?

Sounds like that would make for a good joke souvenir to give someone. Sort of like the can of elephant dung that one zoo sold at one point. I can just imagine the surprises when people open it to find out if its real. hehe

This has always been,IMO , the most underrated show on Disney property. Forgetting the different versions they tried putting in. Always been a must do for us at Ak. Hopefully just some paint and sprucing up then back open.

I mean... Flights of Wonder was pretty perfect.
Always, or at least since 2011 when I lived there. My wife worked in zoos/aquariums/animal care and they were always hiring. They're avian specialists.
