Did they ever *officially* announce that Pooh would be replacing the Country Bears, or is that still just rumor? With the CBJ movie coming out shortly, it's bringing back to mind the stupidity and illogic of closing that attraction just before the movie came out.

Just curious :)
 
Still a rumor, Rajah, but it's a pretty good bet that it's true, from the Disney CMs I've talked to. :)
 
I was wondering also why they would close that attraction and then bring a movie out based on it?????

Why ask why??????:confused:
 
It has been confirmed that pooh is coming to Disneyland where the bears were. If you are curious as to why this happened, take a gander at http://www.dcacentral.com/dca/jim_hill/showarticle.asp?ID=13&page=1 - His article is interesting if nothing else.

As to what will come of the bears now...there are lots of rumors of a move to DCA either near GRR, or in the new part of Hollywood building up with Tower Of Terror. Rumors about, and as of now nothing is certain, but you can always lobby for the bears to be placed somewhere, by sending a letter to Cynthia Harris. Believe it or not, though she won't read it herself, all idea, complaints, and wishes are logged, and when it comes down to it, Our guest experience matters, even though the almighty dollar usually wins out. If it is economically feasable (such as when a film gives you free advertising for a pre done ready to go attraction and vice versa) then it may just happen.

All my best

while i am sure that that article will make an interesting read that is not an official disney press release. So as far I am concerned, while we all KNOW it is going to happen, no it hasn't been "officially annonced."
