Well, I've been hoping for a Circle of Life revamp, but it sounds like they aren't replacing the show at all. However, I did read that the current space for those workshops is next to Germany in the World Showcase, and that they may be clearing that space to put something there, so that could be interesting.

3 words - it's about time.

This is one attraction...along with Tom Sawyer Island and the Treehouse that we NEVER visit. Last time we saw it was nearly 10 years ago. Can't say I'll miss it.

Their moving the student workshop from the world showcase to here to possibly make room for a Brazil area in the world showcase.

That's the rumor

Brazil?? That's nuts.....

3 words - it's about time.

I think, with the contraction, that's probably 3.5 words.

We watched it once, maybe 13 years ago. This past November my son, seven, was drawn by those signs they have for it as you walk in the pavilion. "Circle of Life just 100 feet this way." He really wanted to watch it, but we didn't have time at the time. I said, "next trip." Oh well.

We watched it on Thanksgiving Day to kill time before our ADR. Glad we did!

 

[GBBTomorrow]

Awwww, that's too bad. That movie is better than people give it credit for! The wildlife images are just spectacular.

 

[My3SweetSuns]

It wasn’t baaaaad, it was just a one & done attraction. It was definitely not on our must do list. (Living with the Land actually is)

 

[epcotty]

yeah it's too bad. Quite a good movie. Oddly enough we didn't give it a try until about 3 years ago (started going back to WDW after a long break about 8 years ago) but have seen it every time we've been at EP since

 

[Satchmo128]

Is this the movie in the Land Pavilion? If yes, we have seen it once and all I remember is that the audio was way too loud. Because of that, we have never been back.

 

[Jessicavoet]

Aw man, we actually really liked this! My son is a huge animal lover and wants to work on conservation when he grows up.

Provided they replace it with something worth doing more than once (unlike circle of life): Awesome! We liked CoL the first time, but it had no repeat value for us.

Another attraction I’m embarrassed to say we’ve walked by countless times but never done....

You have not missed much. The only reason we did it was to escape the heat on a particularly hot day.

 

[MickeyWaffles]

Does this mean Kitchen Kabaret is coming back?!

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Here you are everyone you’re not missing much

As of now, it isn't being replaced. The space is being used by Disney Performing Arts.

It would be funny if its closing got the same fanfare as GMR. I'll be looking for "last ride" CoL t-shirts and mugs later this month.
