Closing of attractions or shows?

[Pokeypoke]

I was wondering if DLRP closes any attractions, parades or shows due to weather such as rain, extreme cold or wind? Are there some attractions that are seasonal and are only opened in the summer?

Thanks,
Pokey

In the past the Storybook ride, Casey Jones and Autopia are rides which have had seasonal closures, last year however, they were all open both in March and November when we visited, whether that's a temporary move for the 15th Anniversary or a permanent change I don't know.
I can't think of any others apart from the tethered balloon in the village which is dependent on weather conditions.

When we were there last summer, Fantillusion (the night-time parade) was cancelled one evening but the weather was exceptionally bad, it is rare for this to happen.

I've been extremely unlucky with the Storybook ride and Casey Junior - they have been closed every time we've been to DLRP (Feb, October and November 2007).

Snap! We have always gone in Jan/Feb time and they are always closed. We have never been on Autopia either. But thats the price you pay to go at quiet times i suppose.

When we went last week Casey was open but Storybook rides was open 1 day and closed another (didnt check on the first day). Strangely enough the day it was open was the day it had rained earlier on in the day but the day it was closed it was fine. Unless it was open each day but only for a short time of course

can anybody tell me if there are likely to be lots of closures in January as at the momment the only scheduled closure is for 'its a small world'
are we likely tobe dissapointed?

I just got this list from the DLRP magic website,

Armageddon: Les Effets Speciaux
14th to 18th

Big Thunder Mountain
7th to 18th

“it’s a small world”
From 21st onwards

Le Pays des Contes de Fées
7th to 18th

Les Mystères du Nautilus
7th to 18th

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith
29th only


But don't go expecting the Autopia, Casey Jnr or the storybook ride to be open as its pretty hit and miss. Then if they are open its a bonus!

I recently saw a few photos of Lake Disney when it has froze. When this happens, does the Rivers of the Far West in Frontierland freeze as well and do they close the paddle steamer?

I was there 2 weeks ago when Lake Disney was frozen, but it was only very thin surface ice. The paddle boats were running (and so were the keel boats) but they were out breaking the ice first, so things may open a bit later than normal. The ice was floating around in small chunks in the water as we went round on the keel boats - brrrr
Unfortunately the Storybok boats weren't running because their water was frozen.

I once went on Indiana Jones when it was snowing quite rapidly

When I went in January 2006 the paddle steamer wasn't running, but in January 2007 it was.

I'm a bit gutted about Big Thunder being closed - I haven't been on it in about 10 years! We keep getting FPs for it, but missing the return times.

I don't think I've ever been on Storybook or Casey Jr! I always miss Autopia because I don't want to drive on holiday
