Closing at Magic Kingdom

[Colleen A.]

I just read this on wdwmagic.com. So sad. I didn't have a chance to catch it on this last trip. Now it looks like I'm out of luck totally!

22 January 2003: MK Closings

The Diamond Horseshoe will have it's last show on February 1st 2003. CM's working the show will be offered different rolls around the WDW resort.. There is no info yet on the new show to replace the Horseshoe.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! We just discovered it last time we were there, and were planning on catching it again this time. We get in at 12 on the 1st, so we are going to have to run to MK before Ohana at 630

A couple of years ago, we went to Disneyland, and they had the cutest "Woody's Roundup" show being performed at the Diamond Horseshoe. Part of it was in "black and white".

Hopefully, they'll convert it along those lines. We really enjoyed it.

I really like this place. I'm going to miss it.

I never made it to the Diamond Horseshoe except once during the Halloween party. It was very nice inside, and I love the Disneyland version (both their normal shows and I was lucky enough to see Woody's Roundup as well and found it to be very cute, too), so I'm sure I would have enjoyed the Diamond Horseshoe. I'm sorry to hear they're closing it.

Anyone know if they're removing the thing entirely, or just changing shows?

Oh no! I LOVE the Diamond Horseshoe! I can't believe they are closing it! One of our favorite MK memories is when my DS got picked to participate in the show onstage! He was practically floating the rest of the day! lol!

 

[jldriscoll]

oh no!! we're going to be there on the 2nd!

That's sad news...in all of our trips to WDW we never made it to the show. I guess we should have found the time to go.

Bummer!

I just "found" the Diamond Horseshoe last summer. It was a great place to cool off and eat some ice cream. We skipped it our last trip because it was colder. Now I wish we had stopped in for a little snack .

That's too bad. Guess I won't have an opportunity to see it again since I won't be back until May.

I hear they are going to replace it with a 20 second film called "Great Moments With Mike Eisner". . .

 

[tater bug]

WillyJ, a whole 20 seconds?!?! They'll have to loop the video...

 

[grinningghost]

We never made the show either - I was planning to go on our upcoming trip. I guess I'd better get to Tom Sawyer Island this trip - we've never done that before, and I'm sure that will be the next thing to go.

 

[dianeschlicht]

Oh No! I tried to get there last week, but we were never in that area when it was time to eat. I will REALLY miss this one! I wish they would give warning when they close these things!

 

[Dan Murphy]

So happy I took this one in back last May with Talking Hands here from the DIS. My first and only time there, and apparently, my last.

I had nert herd this..I SOOoo hope it's nert true........it wood be a loss....

Oh I feel like crying! This was our favorite part of the Magic Kingdom. We would watch at least 2 shows EVERY morning. We got to know the singing cowboys, Dr. Bill and both the magicians. They would always stop and chat with us after the shows. The entertainers and the counter people always treated us like family. In fact one of the counter girls, Emma, is coming to visit us this summer when she comes to NJ for her family reunion. What can they be thinking of?? This was always a standing room only show. The CM told us that there was a rumor when we were there in Dec. I kept hoping it wasn't true. Now how am I am going to see my friends next year?

This is one of our favorite Disney family memories, I've been there on each and every trip since WDW opened. DH has been carried up on stage in his chair and kissed by dancing girls, he has been picked to be Cowboy Joe and last trip DS got picked on. This is so, so sad. Where can we complain?
