"Open Seasonally" during a certain month does not mean "this attraction will be open". There are people on other Disney boards that are having the same confusion. Disney lists these things for tax purposes, not because they actually intend upon opening the attraction. It seems they have corrected this now in regards to WoL.
WoL will not be opening any time soon. I'm one of those that believes that it will never return (more than one reliable source has said Body Wars isn't operational any more, and without that the pavillion has nada), but I think you can be relatively secure in knowing it won't be open in August.

That would be my assumption. If it did not open for the July 4th weekend, I do not think it will open till at least Thanksgiving. Now last year even Timekeeper opened for Thanksgiving, but WOL did not. So maybe it will never open its doors for us again.

I hate to break the news to you, but even the WDW website says it is closed in August! I can't understand why people can not accept that it is gone, and will not open again! I loved the pavillion just as much as the next person and i was there on the last day of operation in January and know for sure that the only thing that can now function in the building is the goofy cartoon area.

According to a cast member very high up on the totem pole (blue ID with a gold stripe, for those in the know), Wonders of Life is currently scheduled to be open 5 weeks a year. The week of Thanksgiving, as well as the last three weeks of December and first of January.
Disney is still waiting for a new participant to sponsor the pavilion, and is ready and willing to replace the attractions on the inside at the request of the participant.
If and when it does reopen, it will more than likely not be known as "Wonders of Life", as the pavilion will more than likely have an entirely new theme.

Doubtful. Unlike Horizons, Wonders of Life is easily able to be modified into a completely different themed pavilion. Horizons was a construction maze, and was just too hard to be modified. Which is why it is the only pavilion to be entirely demolished to make way for a new pavilion.

Sorry... not true. :wave:Frank Stallone said:
It was sinking... the structure was failing right along with the attraction. It had to be demolished.

Thanks for the correction. This was never mentioned when we were looking at the blueprints/pictures and how much of a hassle it would have been to put in a replacement, and just easier to tear it down.
But back to the point of the thread, I doubt Disney (and more importantly, the participant) want to pay to demolish a pavilion that is in fine working order. On top of that, the attractions are so easily replaceable, that demolishing the pavilion as a whole seems idiotic.
One company was incredibly close to signing on as a participant a little over a year and a half ago, but decided to pay less to sponsor an attraction in a smaller pavilion.
