Snow White closing date???

Maybe of 2012 but August of this year sounds a bit premature. I can't see them closing Snow White until Mermaid and Circusland are open.

Just curious, does Disney usually do anything to commemorate an attraction's last go-about? (be it for the attraction itself or the final riders)
Very doubtful.....When they announced Mr. Toad was closing they had issues.
The only one that really springs to mind was the shut down event for Star Tours.

I happen to be in MK the night Mr. Toads Wild Ride closed and was last in line so was offically last person to ever ride it at WDW.

I"m actually quite ed off that Snow White is closing down. Wow, we're getting a meet and greet to replace it!
Actually we are getting a whole new Snow White ride that is shaping up to be much grander in scale than the existing ride.
Trust me, Snow White is my #1 ride and I'd be screaming to high heck if we weren't getting something "better" in return.

Absolutely correct. The Magic Kingdom is operating at a very low capacity right now. TDO didn't anticipate Tiki Room going down before Toon Town closing. Granted it does not affect the capacity that much, but it doesn't help.

While I believe this to be true as well (logic would dictate that no Toontown Fair means smaller capacity), I don't think the park went through any phased closings on Easter. Is that correct? Is it because it was so late this year it was outside the window of many school vacations?

Exactly. I have a feeling there will be some days in mid summer that might see atleast phase one of closing. July 4th weekend I'm sure will see some phased closings at MK.

The last guest, perhaps. I'm positive CMs would have ridden it after the park closed, either for ride closing procedures, or to say goodbye. :wave:
It'll probably be the same with Snow. When Small World went down just for a couple months, practically every CM in Fantasyland and Toontown rode it after park closing on its last night.

One of the perks of being an "insider".
The existing Snow White attraction will be turned into a character meet n greet. A new Snow White attraction will be built in one of the final phases of the Fanatasyland expansion.

Eh, I don't really see how getting a new ride in a totally different location calls for closing an existing ride. I don't see why they just wouldn't keep it open and build the meet and greet somewhere else.
