Anyone know how long this will be there? We'll be going down in April and would LOVE to see it!!
 
I do not know how long it will be there but please prepare yourself , in that it is an extremely low level attraction...attraction being a strong term for it. It is essentially a room (nicely decorated) in which you stand and watch a very long preview for the movie. There is a cast memeber interaction for a minute or so and very few props in a small hallway. We found it very disappointing.
 
I also don't know how long this will be there, but I agree with daannzzz. Very disappointing. I have seen the movie, I didn't need another commercial about it.

Ditto to everything that the previous posters said. If you have to wait *at all*, I would say it isn't worth it. Basically, a walk through to watch the movie trailer and see a few movie artifacts.

DH, who loves all things Disney, says, "It was skimpy."
 

Just to say,too, I would not waste my time. We spent 30 minutes in line for this in Dec. and very upset. If I knew it was a very , very, long trailer, we would have skipped it and rode the back lot tour before it closed for the night, but opted for something new. You walk through the wardwrobe into a room with trees covered in white snow like stuff. After the trailer, you go to another room with green trees and walk out. Thats it.
 
My 4 year old LOVES (understatement, believe me!) Narnia. To him the big deal is going to be walking through the wardrobe into Narnia. When they say no flash photography, can I take pictures of him? The kid has a box that he pretends is his wardrobe, lives the video game, has all the McDonald's toys, seen the movie 2 times and sometimes makes us call him by the characters (including Lucy and Susan). We are talking LIVING the movie here! His look in that stage is going to be priceless and I don't want to miss it.
 
We were so far back and to the side when we entered that if I hadn't read beforehand that we were supposed to be walking into the wardrobe, I wouldn't have known. Once inside, we were way in back and couldn't even see the white witch. It reminded me of being in the Christmas tree display section at Lowes. This is by far the most disappointing "attraction" I have ever experienced at WDW. I couldn't believe it. The CM at the exit looked embarassed to be there.
 
This is very disheartening... I'm leaving tomorrow and I was really excited about seeing this because I've loved the books since I was just a little Pumbaa and thought the movie was incredible. I'll probably still do it with my folks, just because it is something ne to see, but I hope I'm not too dissappointed!
 
Supposedly, it will be replaced in July with a similar walk through for Pirates II.
 
Geez, I was there in Nov/Dec '05 & was so bummed I'd missed it!
I am rapidly recovering! ;)
when you think of all the lovely things that could've been done, I don't mean elaborate, as they are obviously trying to avoid that, just a little more 'meat'

Maybe another time? :sunny:
