The Magic Of Disney Animation closing?

[wm49rs]

It's a valid statement.

Yes. Both the closing and the stupid parts....

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...

As I have said, what Iger put in the pipeline is just now reaching WDW. He had many divisions to fix.

I like to think he saved the best for last.

No! One Man's Dream too!?

At this rate, not even the best possible Star Wars Land will be a good trade-off. Never mind Pixar Kiddie Fun Land.

One Mans Dream was supposed to leave in 2003. It's time.

I find it mind boggling how long that awful Little Mermaid show has lasted. It must be really popular with somebody.

loved it as a child. still unique to me on prop...dated...very but still unique...

Sometimes attractions are just retired. Especially museum exhibits. Even museums retire exhibits. And Disney World isn't a museum.

It's a valid statement.

Any chance it is getting moved to a different location? Is the Innovention rumor just a pipe dream?

One Man's Dream would be pretty simple to move and IIRC was originally in the Town Theater in MK, was it not?

I thought One Man's Dream was built de novo for the 100 Years of Magic Celebration. Back when DHS had enough new and exciting things to do that it was deemed viable to host a celebration.

As long as all this happens after September 12th

Why is it time?
Walt Disney is still the one responsible for the existence of Disney World. That hasn't changed

It could be time for an update though.
And as others have stated, One Man's Dream could also fit perfectly either on Main Street or on Future World

Are special exhibits from previous celebrations around?

 

[Dwarful]

I hate to see the end of One Man's Dream. I understand it was a temporary display, but we tour it every visit and always find some little something new. I would hate for future generations to lose out on the opportunity to see those displays and feel a connection to Walt.

No. It's not time.

We still have the World ShowPlace/Millenium Village.

 

[ToTBellHop]

No. It's not time.

And yet it is. Say bye while you can.

Do we? Most guests aren't included in your "we".

I'm glad I randomly went into One Man's Dream the last time I was in the Studios. I hadn't been in there in a long time and wanted out of the heat ... it's a great exhibit and I'll be sorry to see it go. I think in the grand scheme of the makeover, it does need to go.

I'd like it to be moved as well but it doesn't seem likely.
