It could be a cost cutting issue, with Aladdin turning into a seasonal attraction, but that would be hard, since there would have to be training and rehearsals for weeks prior to the start of the season, which rules out bringing it back for the short Christmas Season. The mechanical devices, such as the Flying Carpet need regular maintenance, so it might just be that, and some reapirs to the seats and a good deep cleaning of the carpets. But, as an educated guess, a Re-casting, a way to save money, and then Aldddin can return for the Christmas season.

My friend and I are going in September and we will really miss Aladdin! I saw it in May and it was as spectacular as ever! Oh well, you can't have everything!
