50th anniversary attractions?

[riu girl]

Does anyone know if Soaring, stunts, Lucky the Dinosaur and Cinderellabration will still be at WDW 12/2006??? I think the 50th anniversary celebration ends sometime in the fall (Oct. maybe) but we won't be to WDW until 12/06. I know our family would really enjoy Lucky and Soarin, but I don't know if these attractions are permenant or just for the 50th anniversary celebration.

Thanks

Lucky and Cinderellebration may be gone after the 50th, but Soaring and Lights Motors Action aren't going anywhere for a long time! These are both very permanent attractions.

The celebration is supposed to be 18 months (May 05 - Nov 06), but I wouldn't be surprised if they extend it (as they did the Millennium and the 25th, IIRC). Lucky might be the one most likely to go, though, as although popular, I think he's complex and might not make for extended life in the parks.

Thanks so much for the info. I can't wait to experience soarin 12/06. Does anyone know if there is a height restriction for this attraction? It looks fabulous.

Lucky will be gone b4 the end of summer(June or July). We're going in Oct. and I was so upset to find out we won't see him. I thought about taking a trip b4 Oct just to see him, but it's not possible for us.

They announced at the press event last week that Lucky is only going to be at AK for three months, then he's headed to Hong Kong for the park opening in September. Wouldn't be surprised if he does end up back in Orlando in the future, however. It seems the most logical permanent home for him in the long run.
