Rats! I'm bummed about Keystone Clothiers at MGM!
I'll be at WDW in 10 Days and I loved that store. I always find something there I didn't see anywhere else in the shops.

I had not heard about the Viking Ship being closed. My sons have never seen it and we're going to WDW in May...how sad

 

[loriandmatt]

theater in the wild at AK - is that the place where Tarzan Rocks was (i hope) or the place where they have the flights of wonder bird show? (i hope not - love that show)

bumping...in case anyone has any updated info.....

We just got back July 2 and Keystone Clothiers in MGM was still closed.

Toy Story section of ASMo was being refurbished; Viking Ship was back open for play.
Can't think of any big attraction closed. Test Track was sporadic at best as it always is in the summer due to lightning and weather issues.

The Horseshoe Saloon in Frontierland remains empty which is a shame. That's some premo space in MK going to waste IMO.

Is that where the Laugh Floor Comedy Club is going? Anybody know?

It's Tarzan Rocks. When I was there 3 weeks ago, the construction of the new theater was moving along.

 

[Bill From PA]

My understanding was that WestEnd Stage was closing, period. Will it come back as a performance venue or is the land being reclaimed for somethng else?

[Minniespal]

Thanx for the info.

 

[safetymom]

My understanding is that the stage isn't coming back in that location. They are supposed to be making a new dock in that area.

...pity...never DID make it over to Timekeepers .....

 

[Brian Noble]

Neither did lots of other people. That's why it closed.

Keystone Clothiers was reopened by July 5th. At least that's what my receipts say.

My only trip to WDW, (back in '99), I remember some kind of 3-D movie that seems like it was near some sort of Viking ship, in Epcot. Does this sound farmiliar to anyone?

bumping, again....
