What will happen to the little play area outside of splash mountain?

I was thinking what are you talking about so searched it, I’ve ridden Splash Mountain many times over the years and I have never seen that little play area, ever. Weird.

I'd be willing to bet they just rope it off until theres a coronavirus vaccine. Or they make guests sign liability waivers before entering the park.

Won't be surprised if Dumbo's Play/Wait area and the Epcot Playground get closed off too.

I have many great memories of playing there. It was so much fun and made me feel like I had shrunk, unlike Toy Story Land.

Same. I LOVED the playground. I don't know why they had to get rid of it. It's a great spot to let kids run around and use up energy, plus the theme was really fun. There isn't a single place in Hollywood Studios for my young kids to get out of the stroller to play.

There was also once a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids segment on the Studio Backlot Tour.It was a blue screen special effects demonstration where selected kids would ride a bumblebee.

Because it was in the way?

They couldn't have built around it?

That would reroute the tunnel entrance to Batuu. It would also mean the playground would be in backstage area. And, at the time, before Disney Plus, that IP was pretty much dead.

Now, a similar oversized-prop playground should have been built for Toy Story Land.

Bring the movie back to Epcot

LOL its hidden but I promise you walk right past it. Think when you exit and pass the bathrooms, right before the stairs up to frontier land its on the left hand side.

You mean the one under the railroad bridge in between the bridge supports?

Yea

The old MGM. As much as I complained I want it back. The great movie ride, Backlot tour, Muppets..

I agree. I loved the old MGM. After all that is happening, I think we will just keep our memories and look through the old pictures once in awhile and know that it was fun while it lasted.

theater in Epcot next to Journey into your imagination (now Captain EO).

When Epcot was most recently open the theater was playing "Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival." And they are super!

Ant-Man is an Avenger. No Avengers in WDW. ☹

Exactly. “Could have been” = If Disney would have ponied up and bought out the Universal contract.

Bring the movie back to Epcot

I bet they will once the new movie comes out. I wonder if they could also make a new movie featuring the new cast for EPCOT?

 

[beachlover4444]

We just pulled out pictures of our kids on this the other day. They got to ride the bee in the backstage tour too. Now my grandkids love the movies and wish they could play there.

What a memory! I remember 10 plus years ago, seeing the show at EPCOT and the feeling of mice running across my feet. Currently planning my first adult trip to Disney with soon to be husband for next year. Excited to see how much things have changed.
