The Magic Of Disney Animation closing?

Reminder that the only source of this is another website that has an iffy accuracy rate at best.

Is there any chance they would put the drawing class at the Art of Animation resort? That would make sense, but not sure if they'd put this in a non-park area.

No. It's a value resort.

I'm not sure if they still offer it, but they did at some point in the lobby. If you watch some of the drawing tutorial youtube videos Disney put out, some of them take place at the Art of Animation resort.

And that matters why? It's still a Disney resort which people are still paying a small fortune to stay at. Would it be okay to shove it in to the Contemporary since that isn't a value resort? I'm not understanding your point.

I agree it should be kept in the park as having an attraction in a resort seems kinda odd, though it would fit in AoA given the theme and I wouldn't have a problem if they did.

I just heard about the closing of the Animation building- which sounds likely- but I know of One Man's Dream closing permanently real soon.

Who needs Walt anyway at Walt Disney World

Do we have dates on either of these closures?

Disney Quest always used to have a drawing class too, don't know if they still do.

I was only told the coming weeks.

*sigh* Well, two less things I'll be doing when I head back down in December, I guess...

This closing is sad but progress tends to be sad... I hope they find a home for this stuff as my youngest loves it but I understand that change has to happen and I support it.

I have no idea about the future of the building and really hope it does stay, but if it does end up leaving I would bet that it would be timed with the departure/arrival of the next batch of CPs at the start of August (like GMR changing in May).

Noooo One Mans Dream was by far one of my favorites at DHS!

I have never seen such unjustified pessimissim in my life. Seems like the closer things get to being fixed the more angry some get. Strange.

The pessimism comes from being disappointed and/or underwhelmed for the past 10 years or so. What was the last Disney attraction that really knocked your socks off? Everest opened in 2006, Toy Story Midway Mania opened in 2008. Has there been anything worth getting excited about in the 7 years since? Personally I think Star Tours 2.0 is really well done too, but I seem to be in the minority there. I feel 7DMT is a nice ride, but not an e-ticket by any stretch of the imagination. But the conversation really ends there - there just hasn't been much to talk about.

That said, if the improvements are as good as some of the rumors suggest, I will be the first one to stand up and cheer. It has been way too long coming...

One Mans dream closing sounds stupidly unlikely to happen, maybe for refurb or major cleaning, but that'd be it, its too popular there's always people in there!

 

[djkidkaz]

One mans dream makes sense to close as its in the area where Pixar is taking over. I think it's too hidden back there anyway so I would like to see them move it somewhere more prominent, say the shuttered Innoventions building?

Agreed, For too long WDW has merely been REMOVING attractions and lost the TRUST of long time visitors.

It's a valid statement.

Supposed to be for the expansion of PP and TSPL, who knows. If happening for sure, it should be announced internally real soon.

Jeez, not even the attraction about the guy who started it all is safe. At least move it to Main Street U.S.A. or SOMETHING!
