Guessing you didn't grow up watching Uncle Walt on TV, eh? There were so many specials showing the construction and planning of parks and attractions. And it was reaching such a massive audience back then. Walt, Jim Henson, all the greats offered a peak behind the curtains. Its really nothing new.

I would hope the attraction would get some general cleaning and refurb. I'm not expecting anything show to change - though the beginning/end of the ride might have to be changed if they decide to drop the book theme. It'd also be a nice welcome to see some effects or even the ride vehicles from Pooh's Hunny Hunt.

Wow! I never heard any rumor of a total closing so I assumed it would remain open while just the exterior was worked on, but a major work inside and out sounds great.
Hopefully Peter Pan will soon day get similar indoor improvements too.

Yeah, but you said the "ride" would be worked on as well. I'm guessing they're just adding interactive elements to the queue.The queue is going to be very cool

Ooh, yes! That's great news. I've been thinking the ride need a good refurb. Maybe they'll do more than that. I've always been bothered by how if you look up yoiu can clearly see the cieling support beams and AC pipes, very bad show. Hopefully they'll cover that up.

I'm glad to hear about Pooh. I agree about Peter Pan. I hope they look at improving the capacity of that ride.
I'm not aware of any show changes, but the attraction will close as part of the work that is going on with the exterior and queue later this year.

I see, well maybe we'll at least get some minor improvements (LED lighting if not already in the ride)/cleaning when the entire attraction is closed.

I don't take offense to showing the magic, saying it's part of a green initiative, etc. I'm just amazed they called it a "classic". It's been around since, what, 2004-5? Hardly a classic.

I'm guessing the ride closure won't coincide with the IaSW dates in order not to basically shut down Fantasyland

Steve, for clarification are you saying that:
1. In addition to the facade and queue improvements to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, there will be additional show changes to the ride itself?
2. While there will be facade and queue improvements to Peter Pan's Flight, there will not be any show changes to Peter Pan's Flight.
Are these queue and show changes linked into the RFID rumors we've been hearing about, will it be more in line with the Space Mountain and Soarin' queue games, or should we expect something entirely different?

1. Pooh will get a new queue and exterior, with some new features that should make it a lot more entertaining for the guests inline. As far as I know, they will not be RFID. More low tech, but perhaps far more obvious and accesible. I don't believe there will be any changes to the actual show.
2. Right.
