Closings

UPDATE... The rumor mill. First the word gets out.  True or not true?  Planned or not planned? Discussed or not discussed? Who really knows.  Plans have been rumored before and later came true.  Some were denied, and later came true. So who knows until it really happens. But given past history, too many times Disney destroys things to build up new things. So nothing seems too unimaginable. Only time will tell.

New closings at Disney World. Historically, building at Disney,  refurbishment, and closing attractions have always been one of the constants at Disney... change is the constant.  New things are added.  Old things are replaced.  And now, more than ever, things are totally torn down to make room for new attractions. And it happening at a fever pitch.  So many things are gone.  The latest are the two pavilions in Epcot... the Land Pavilion and the Seas Pavilion. They contain two 5 star attractions as well as other historically popular attractions. It appears that they are going to save Soar'in... but everything else will be gone.  Wow. Sometimes I wonder why they can't work around existing attractions and expand into undeveloped areas for the new construction. They do sometimes,  but sometimes the answer is to destroy perfectly good attractions, amenities, and buildings to create something new. This concept is mostly lost on me. Nevertheless,  prepare to say goodbye to two of the most popular  pavilions in Epcot. I guess I've seen too many things changed, discontinued, eliminated, and features demolished in the name of progress. Yes,  progress is good,  New is good,  but so many things lost forever... Alive only in our memories.  Such is life. But some things, despite progress, I'll never get over... like SpectroMagic the night time parade in Magic Kingdom... simply stopped, eliminated,  and left in the open for nature to destroy. By the way... SpectroMagic was the most popular nighttime parade drawing every guest to one of the two performances nightly.
What else can I say?
