Its funny because we just got our little reservation thingy in for our September trip and on the bottom of the little brochure it advertises Body Wars.

My DH was so confused he said I thought it was closed. I said I thought it was too.

They need to update the brochures.

I am not sure but I thought it was one of those attractions like CoP that was open at selected times. Is this not correct??...smjj

You are correct. The Wonders of Life will open during peak periods, or when another major pavillion is down for refurb.

Good luck with keeping "happy thoughts" about this.

Every single day for the next six months the official WDW website calendar lists "Cranium Command" and "Making of Me" as "Open Seasonally" (which means "NOT Open" for the dates listed.)

And, Wonders of Life was not open even during the recent time that Test Track (same "side" of Epcot) was being refurbished.
Certainly the up-coming Summer season would be a time when more attractions would be needed.

What's interesting (and I can't "confirm" this) but since they ONLY list "Cranium Command" and "Making of Me" and NOT "Body Wars" it indicates that BW is simply not ever going to be open.
The reason for this has been given that the "Body Wars" RIDE VEHICLES (the simulators... the whole attraction) are GONE, removed from the building and shipped overseas to Hong Kong Disneyland for use in that park's "Star Tours" attraction. Again I can't confirm this, but the peculiar calendar listing lends credence to this.

BTW, the Wonders of Life Pavillion is no longer mentioned on the Epcot guide maps.
For many months it was listed as "open seasonally" on the maps, but now (for the last few months) there's just no caption or description at all for it.

Nope, it doesn't look good for this pavilion to ever open again.
