She wasn't talking about a date cause it was all very blue sky at the time. Put it this way, when jh made the announcement I remember thinking "yeah, I already knew that". Thanks to DG and other rumblings on WDWMagic.com :wave:

A parking lot for the time being. Of course even that will be more scenic than that theater.:hurl:

It's gone and it wont be missed.

Could they not put Mickeys Twas A Night in the theatre for Stich and have the Twas The Night in that theatre on the party nights?

I doubt it...the Stitch stage is going to be far different...the show would need MAJOR Changes. From the concept art...the Stitch stage is gonna be pretty small, with a big projection area.

It was...but not any longer. Demolition is not yet complete.

When it first opened there was a show done several times daily.

Thanks to lightboy's post there were several shows there before a show called Galaxy Search opened.

Here's a video.

Sorry bud. Actually incorrect. Galaxy Search came later. There were other shows that played there first. I'm 99% sure that "Disney World is Your World" was actually the first show to be performed at the THEN called "Tomorrowland Stage". Was renamed to "Galaxy Palace Theatre" during the Galaxy Search era. One of the Disney Mania shows also performed on this stage.

And correct though...the Stitch stage will not have the backstage space or wing area for a full on production, such as Twas. It's more of a stage instead of a theater. Although Disney hasn't officially said it, there's no place for them to remount Twas. It won't be returning. But I bet your ticket prices for MVMCP go up.

You actually will never hear a peep from Disney about Twas again I'm guessing. They'll hope it goes quietly without too many complaints.

lightboy, your memory is good

From what I found, the stage was built for the Tencennial, and an extended DWIYW with anniversary finale was the first show performed. Galaxy Search was 1994-ish.

Just don`t mention Rap n Roll....

AH....duh! for some reason I could only think of Galaxy Search. (possibly cause that's the first show I ever saw there).

It seems with all of these changes coming to Tomorrowland WDI would have something in mind for the empty Skyway... or do they?

mpaul32001 · Feb 1, 2009

I actually heard the space will be to hold construction items for Space Mountain's Epic Refurb. Makes sense to me since it's being dismantled right now. The timeline fits...

What about the Stage in Frontierland? The Diamond Horseshoe? I've never been in there to know if it's big enough or not.

I hope you are right and once SM is done maybe then they will finally remove the skyway building. I bet though the construction walls will encompass the skyway building once the SM refurb starts. So then I would think the relocated wall will be directly behind the new Stitch Stage.

It`s been looked at, but there have been one or two setbacks.

I think they should tear it down and build a pizza resteraunt in its place like the one they have at Tokyo Disney: http://www.tdrfan.com/tdl/tomorrowland/restaurants/pan_galactic_pizza_port/index.htm
