Is CoP going seasonal or staying open?

[mrtoad]

Sorry, but I just need to ask. We are going Jan 27 to Feb 5 and were hoping that CoP would be open. On allearsnet.com it does not mention it being closed so I am really hopeful but wanted to ask.

Thanks,
Mike

It should be open. It is currently scheduled to go down in March when Astro Orbiter reopens.

Hopefully when it goes down, it will be a real rehab.

Great, thank-you. We really want my daughter to see it. I wish it was put back to the Now is the Time version but still love it.

Thanks again.

I wish it was put back to the Now is the Time version but still love it.

I wish they could bring back an updated version of Now Is The Time also.

I hope it is open. I was just there the first week of Dec and it was closed. I will be going back to Disney in two weeks. I really love this ride.

I remember as a child when the song was Now Is the Time. I was so happy when the changed it to the original Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow song. Not only is it the original version, but it's a better song I believe. It's more hopeful, optimistic, and keeps with Walt Disney's spirit better than Now Is the Time which always seemed to me to be a bit shortsighted and contrary to the theme of the presentation. I remember reading once that the song was first changed when the sponsor (GE I think it was) disliked Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow because they felt it encouraged customers to put off purchases until new and improved products were created instead of buying their latest products of the day.

I know that the current is really the original song, but the one I grew up with is the one I miss but that is only because it is what I remember (happy childhood memory stuff). It is not that I think the current one is bad or wrong really, I just have fond memories of the other I guess.

For you 'Now is the Time' fans, the song is played in the current Tomorrowland background music loop.

The song is also played in the Magic Kingdom entrance loop.

Okay people are talking bout CoP going down in March for a much needed rehab. Anyone know just how long this will last? Im going down in December and CoP is a MUST on my list lol.

Bummer, we'll be back in May

Reports say March 13. . . we'll see. . .

I'm not as disappointed if they refurb it but if it's a ploy I'll be very upset. We still are getting over Horizons closing.

the only time that I had seen it open in Dec was when AE was closed. I was hoping for it to be open this past Dec. but it was closed. I hope it remains open so that I can see it one last time.
