Epcot Circle of Life opened yet?

[AndiMarie]

We will be in Epcot on Friday and I'm doing last little itinerary tweaks and can't figure out if the Circle of Life show has reopened after the closure for refurbishment. Some sites said April 3rd but it is still showing unavailable on the Disney site. Anyone been there this past week? Anyone know what they are changing or updating?

Thanks!

Not open.

As posted today it's still closed

Let's hope that they are doing more than just painting the walls…

Soft opening this Friday, officially Saturday. No changes other than hand rails and stairs carpeting. http://www.disboards.com/threads/news-round-up-2016.3472046/page-286#post-55573542

Actually, I'm kind of glad to see it open again. I wouldn't mind them updating the attraction, but it is a nice cool theater, good for a break on a hot day!

 

[AndiMarie]

Thanks for the information! Hopefully we can see it Friday!

All it takes for a "meaningful message" is to present "Corporations: BAD. Nature: GOOD."

Cheers and tears all around.

(Right now, Nature is in the process of being GOOD by dumping about 15 inches of rain in one day on Texas.)

Am I the only one who doesn't like this attraction? We left the theater staring blankly at each other. Lol

No, you are far, FAR from the "only one."
This attraction is one that gets some of the lowest guest ratings of any found at WDW.

But it has A/C and is a nice break for parents.

We've never seen this so I wanted to give it a try, is it depressing about the environment? My kids are almost 11, 10, and 8 and enjoy nature so I thought it would be a fun attraction...now you guys have me worried.

It's supposed to be "uplifting". It's not depressing, it's just nothing new at this point.

Maybe I'm desensitized?

It's more about "BAD Corporations."

It's interesting that the only way WDW exists... and that most guests can visit... is due to these " vile uncaring organizations."

 

[AndiMarie]

Okay thanksfor the clarification! We'll give it a go. I like to try everything once and then leave it up to the kids if they want to do something again.

I wonder what sort of refurb it is going through. Remade with the Lion Guard?

More Hakuna, less Matata.
