Wonders of Life is still listed as "seasonal", but I wouldn't hold my breath on it opening again. It may, it may not. Nobody knows for sure what's happening with the pavilion and Disney isn't saying. One would hope it will remain 'seasonal', (meaning it MIGHT be open during Thanksgiving week) through at least the rest of this year, especially with Test Track going down for most of November.

Not much help, am I?

Is Test Track going to be closed during 11/24-30th??? I will have three SAD boys on my hands!! Please, say it isn't so!!

There's only a .5% chance of Wonders of Life ever opening again

Now, when I look at the calendar it says that the Making of Me (one of the attractions in the Wonders of Life pavillion) is only open seasonally. This tells me that the rest of the Wonders of Life Pavilillion will be open. Body Wars Yay!!!!!

I'm thinking that this is because the Living Seas is closed.

Last week, the Epcot guide map didn't even identify the building, let alone saying it was open seasonally.

The Food And Wine brochure didn't even show the building on its map.

I think WOL is gone for good.

both WOL and Timekeeper are supposedly open seasonally...
but when we were there in July (during the peakest peak season) both were closed...
and they were also closed when we were there in August and again in September...
seems that they're both permanently closed..

the rumor is that WOL will be torn down completely next year.....and not replaced...

 

[erikthewise]

I heard a report recently that the interior of WOL is already gutted -- nothing left but Body Wars. This was from people who ought to know, and whose names you might recognize. But not WDW employees, so it can only be treated as a rumor.

It was a nice pavilion, but Cranium Command is the only thing I'll truly regret losing.

Disney will only officially say it's 'seasonal', but they did take it off the park map. I think we've seen the last of it, but ya just never know until the walls start coming down.

 

[cobbler]

Yeah it is down for the count. We were there in October and as mentioned above it isn't even on the park map. It really looks like a ghost attraction. Kind of like what Horizons and such looked like when they closed it down.

The English language version of the Epcot map doesn't list the Wonders of Life pavillion, but the Japanese language version still lists it. Both were current maps (Soarin' picture on the cover), and in most other respects identical.

Wonders of Life isn't even mentioned on the website or park map anymore - they lost sponsership and to be honest, it was doing terribly. I'm sorry to tell you, but it's gone. Hopefully they salvage Cranium Command and put it somewhere else

I hope that too.

The item on the WDW website about Making of Me being seasonal seems to be a meaningless and unfortunate quirk -- it got my hopes up for a few minutes.

My two boys and I visited the pavilion in early Dec 03, about a month before it went "seasonal" (aka closed). We entered the pavilion sometime around 9:45 to kill time after grabbing fastpasses for Test Track. A CM at the entrance told us we were the second group to enter the pavilion that morning. We almost had a private showing of Body Wars, but we were joined by a couple making five. The video was out in the preshow for Cranium Command, for which there were less than 20 people. The boys spent a lot of time in the interactive area, which they always enjoyed, and I had to just about drag them out when our fastpass time came. I'm glad we were able to make this last visit.
