Originally Posted By FerretAfros While it's great to have official confirmation, it's not much of a surprise. They've already officially announced that the princesses will be moving out, and they wouldn't go to the expense without a planned replacement. Given the construction schedule, it's far too short to convert it to an attraction, so obviously they're doing a revamped theater space. And it just wouldn't make any sense to bring back one of the old shows. Now, for speculation as to what show it will be. My guess would be some sort of review that incorporates elements from several films, rather than a condensed show like Aladdin (or the Snow White show that ran in the FL Theater just before the conversion). The Golden Mickeys is a fun show, but I don't think it would feel right in DL's Fantasyland; perhaps they can capture the pacing and energy of it, with a different connecting storyline.

You and me both, although I will say that Disney's recent big productions at DLR have been quite good, so I'm hopeful that the new show will be worth seeing.

And then perhaps e new announcement in the Spring. I just saw Cathy Rigby performing in live stage performance of Peter Pan...that would be wonderful also!!!

Originally Posted By crapshoot <<I don't like how you can see the top of the structure behind the Castle from Main Street.>> That was the reason for another war between WDI and DL Entertainment. When DL Entertainment first installed the facility, the tent poles were clearly visible from the DLRR Depot platform. It took an act of flooflung for WDI to at the very least have fully grown trees planted to sort of hide the atrocities.

Too bad you have grown up and can no longer Believe!
