    I haven't been to DL for 3 years, and I'm dying to go back. I've planned a trip for mid February, mainly because it's cooler and that's necessary for my daughter, who's rare disease has to wear long sleeves, gloves, and a face shielding hat in the sun. (See Anna Liberty)

    We've been so excited...until some recent announcements:

    1. Paint the Night will be gone.
    2. Pixar Play Parade will be gone.
    3. Pirates is likely to be closed.
    4. The only fireworks show is likely "Fantasy in the Sky"
    5. Tower of Terror will be closed.

    Anyone know if Space Mountain will still be Hyperspace Mountain?

    I wish we could wait and go in July or August, but it's just not possible for us.


    There are still some plusses:

    Haven't seen Frozen
    Haven't seen Mickey's Magical Map
    The weather will be cooler


    So...can you guys help me feel better about still going in mid-Feb? Or should I re-schedule?

    I think it is likely Space Mountain will return to being Hyperspace Mountain after Halloween and should be that in February. February is typically a good time come since the crowds are lighter then. Typically at this time you don't have nighttime parades. Fireworks are typically reduced too. Paint the Night will be back later that year. Pixar Play Parade is finally being killed after being run for 10+ years. Your not missing much on that one. There should be a Marvel parade later that year.

    Go for it. There's still plenty to do with the closures. The crowds will be comparatively lighter and the weather great. Just try to avoid President's Day Weekend.
