Having just returned from Hollywood Studios, there was a Cast Member who greeted us at the entrance of One Man's Dream and added that "Contrary to rumors out there, One Man's Dream IS NOT CLOSING! Feel free to spread that around." Soooo, I guess that's one rumor debunked on closing areas of Hollywood Studios.

I'm ok with Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Indian Jones being closed. They are seriously outdated. I love the Little Mermaid, but being there just a few weeks ago, my husband and I were talking about the lighting effects being awful, the video looking just as it did in the 90s, and even the girls who played Ariel were just subpar. In terms of Indian Jones, well its too hot, for something that does not ever change since it opened.

We have a love / hate relationship with Disney. At times, we just love just being there even if it's just riding the monorail. But we hate that there isn't enough being done to draw repeat, faithful customers back. We go often enough that we've been able to touch every millimeter of every park where other's only go once every 3 years and make new discoveries out of attractions that have been there for 20 years. We have our old standbys that we love each time, but there's so much fluff too. We love DHS for it's ambiance and thrill rides, so a full closure would be hard for us. As for the rest of the rumors involving revamping and revitalizing...we love it. And as a side note, HATE the wristband system and want the old fastpass system back.

Muppet Vision 3D may logically be updated, now that The Muppets is a fully-owned Disney franchise and taking in count that it has never changed since it's opening it's pretty reasonable that it may get a revamp.

While I understand that changes have to be made, sometimes the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" adage needs to come into play. Illuminations is the centerpiece of Epcot at night! How many of us have quietly wiped away a tear- or twenty- while watching it, and make it a "must see" at least once, usually multiple times during our trips?
No, it's not really for the little ones, but Epcot itself wasn't conceived for them either; my kids have loved the show since they first saw it at 9 & 7 and it has an important lesson to impart. Disney management has dismantled Maelstrom and turned the Norway pavilion into a shill for their "Frozen" franchise, please don't let them destroy the magic that is Illuminations.

Lights, motor, action is a for sure closure. If star wars land and pixar land are to expand two thing will need to happen. 1 employee parking and main entrance will need to be romoved to make room for star wars. 2. Backlot and lights, motor, action will have to be removed for pixar land.

Having just returned from Walt Disney World, where I witnessed lots of the construction, closures, and neglected attractions, I hope all of these rumors are true. WDW is heading toward its 50th anniversary in 2021, which gives them 6 years to refresh and rebuild the parks. Magic Kingdom, with New Fantasyland just having been completed, seems in a good position, although I think Tomorrowland needs work. Hollywood Studios (Hollywood Adventure?) is not worth the time, especially with more closures being announced last week. Animal Kingdom needs an infusion of new things, the animals that may or may not be visible are no longer enough. And, Future World us becoming a ghost town, something to pass through on the way to World Showcase.
