Open Seasonally??

[INdisbound]

What exactly does that mean? We are going to be at WDW 9/23-10/1. Are the "seasonal" rides, etc. going to be open?

I think the answer is they may or may not. Usually "open seasonally" means when the crowds warrent. But they could be open for only the busiest part of the day or only on Sat. It is really Disney's call and it varies for different attractions or resturants. Is there a particular attraction that you are wondering about?

I'm mostly wondering about the attractions in Epcot: Body Wars, Cranium Command. Is there any way I will be able to know if these seasonal attractions will be open before I get to the attraction entrance?

I doubt they will be open. They are using that building for Disney events as needed. Those attractions haven't been open in quite a while.

They were open in Feb during presidents week but The Land was down for rehab then so I think that was a large part of the reason it was open . When i realied it was open i made sure that we hit all of the attractions in the pavillion

What about Carosel of Progress??

I called about that the other day. They can't give you an absolute answer (so I was told). However, it was a Saturday and they were closed. So, I'm not planning on it. Bummer!

We were on a EPCOT tour a few weeks ago and the guide said that the Wonders of Life pavailion would only be open during the very crowded park times. Examples he used was Christmas week, special events or other times another pavilion was closed. We actually went inside WoL and all the lights were on and equipment was turned on. He said they had to do that to protect the equipment and keep the pavilion from getting musty and moldy.

The reason he gave for the closure was it was a high labor pavilion to operate, with Mission Space and Test Track running it did not receive the traffic needed to keep it running, and it was becoming slightly dated.

So plan on it being closed during your visit unless you hit Christmas week.

those won't be open. WoL isn't even listed on the Epcot map anymore.

W/ Living Seas closed and no PoL, this will cut down on my touring plan quite a bit. I've never seen the PoL attractions. Too bad.

What about Carosel of Progress??

When we went to DWD in October 2003, the Carosel of Progress was open. We rode/watched during MNSSHP.
