I think they should just get rid of this altogether - I mean, do kids these days even know the movie?

That was the first thing that went through my mind when I read this.
However it is only shut down for a few days. I would say that it is only for cleaning.

This always seems to get whispered every time HISTK closes for a refurb. I don't think we're ever going to see a Bug's Life overlay. No sense in getting rid of an old property (HISTK) for a slightly less old property (10+ Years).
Of course, they got rid of HISTA for an older property, EO, so I guess anything is possible...

Forget kids, I would venture to say most of the Cast Members at DHS are now at the age where they don't remember this movie!
Perhaps Disney believes its presence in the park generates interest and will inspire kids to seek out the movie upon returning home? ....Yeah, let's go with that.

I don't see HISTK playset going away anytime soon. It is tucked back into an area that otherwise wouldn't be used for much and there is minimal upkeep. It does give restless kids a place to unwind for a bit too.

Being that it's only 4 days I doubt it's much more than repainting and fixing up things.
My son has never seen these movies... has no clue what it is... but ADORES this play area! He could spend an entire day in there.

My kid likes it too. And her parental units find the shade pretty agreeable.

I completely agree. Still, in the list a properties that WDC wants to give an expanded presence, I'd bet ABL is not a high priority.

It will be converted to a Captain EO Tribute Playground.

I agree too. My girls did see the movie once, they thought it was cute, but I don't believe they have seen it in a few years. But they love the play area, and I agree I love the chance to sit down in a bit of shade for a while while they play.

Do they even remember that a TV Show exsisted as well? I mean it's posted on the entrance of the theater area before entering..And it's airing on The Hub.

I don't know why, but it seems like every time we are at the park, this play area is always closed. Not, like, closed for refurb... Just closed for the day.
It just seems to have the oddest operating hours. Why is it not just open when the park is open??
