COP is not seasonal, it is open every day and I believe runs from park open to close.
It will be around for a while, at least until another attraction opens to eat up some of the crowds. With WDW basically always busy, you need high OHRC count attractions to be able to have more people in the park.

This was always one of my sister's and I's favorite ride back in the day....like 15 years ago......I'm excited to ride it again and see what everyone is talking about how it's dated and whatnot......if it's true, hopefully they give it the attention it deserves. I'm not for the parks becoming museums, but one of the things that sets Disney apart from the other amusement parks are the dark rides and attractions that aren't built on thrills, but a sense of history, nostalgia, place and space, and of course movies.

I LOVE Carousel of Progress. I always make it a must-do attraction everytime I go to MK.

It was open when I was down there around Nov 10th. Still a great attraction.....they NEED to keep it.

CoP is my 2nd favorite ride (Peter Pan is 1st 
) I wish they would give CoP a refurb like they did to the AA's in SSE.

Yes, COP is open daily from about 11:00 AM till closing and is not open typically during EMH. You may find earlier hours and EMH for COP during Christmas week when crowds peak. See it a few times for me.

Yeah, but I don't think he meant the wrecking ball. :hammer:
It is really a huge crowd eater. To bad it was never kept up to date. I really like the show and would miss it, but I at least hope a new show can be developed and they reuse the existing rotating theater. It is a great place to hide during the rain or when you are looking for 20 minutes in A/C to cool off from the Florida heat.

You forgot the sledge hammer :xmas:
I knew this was the place to find out if CoP was still open. You guys are the best. Up to the minute live info.
I too hope that it will stay. The old Disney rides that everyone could ride are going the way of the dinosaurs. I understand change (don't like it but understand it) and understand the need to put in what draws the crowds. But I still say everyone forgets that Walt wanted a park that everyone could enjoy things together. And it came from going to little amusement parks and not liking sitting on a bench while his daughters ran around. He wanted a park where the family would have fun "TOGETHER". I know this is a little old fashion thinking but Family togetherness is something we need more of these days. Just MHO.

I know most people say its outdated and doesnt draw the crowds but I still think its interesting. My girlfriend went on it for the first time in November and thought it was great and interesting. Im sure many people feel the same way.....
