Rides closed?

[MGM WDWFan]

Hey all--

Though I've been devoutly following the updates on WDWMAGIC.COM, I wanted to make sure....I'll be at WDW from 6/14 to 6/22. Will any rides be due for refurbishment at this time, or are there anyspecial events that I HAVE to know about? Thanks a lot.

The DIsneyworld.com FAQ covers this.

Not sure it it is 100% accurate, but I would assume so.

I would call and check. Disney doesn't do the best job updating their website. You'd be able to get much more reliable info if you just call. Also, continue to ask others who have recently been - they are sometimes the best source of information.

The rehab schedule at wdwig.com is usually up-to-date, including information that's not yet available on Disney's site. They must call WDW for updates periodically.

Use the search function and read some of the trip reports people post, they are good in knowing which rides are rehabbed right now.

I really hope Carousel of Progress is open when I go in July. I love COP, I think its really fun seeing how things change over time.

On a related note, I hope someday the re-open Backstage Pass (walking tour). That was one of my favorite parts of MGM.

Any other fans of COP and Backstage out there?

- 48 more days!
