So how much stuff is under rehab

[rgf207]

I'm going in march and I have heard that there are green walls everywhere because so much is under rehab. What should I expect to encounter in my 8 day trip March 4 - 11

Thanks

Don't know about March, but last week I heard a lot of disappointed people who apparently didn't know in advance what was down. In MK there is the fence around the circle in front of the castle. The back walkway near the wishing well is closed off. Dumbo was walled off, Small world was walled off, the lagoon section is still walled off. In Epcot the entire Land pavillion was closed as well as Wonders of Life. There was still plenty to do and we get to visit frequently, but if I had been walking through Fantasyland when I used to only get to visit every 5 years, I would have been disappointed, too. Looking on the bright side, in the very near future there will be several awesome new attractions and much needed upgrades to old attractions (can't wait to see Small World). I hope all of the green walls don't detract too much from your trip - PS: they've already begun the golden 'gilding' on the castle and I think it's BEAUTIFUL !!

I'm so disappointed that we won't be able to visit Typhoon Lagoon; I was really looking forward to that!

I had no idea these refurbishments were taking place; I wish I had known before I made arrangements. Somehow I feel that the travel agent should have been able to let us know about this when we spoke with her.

Oh well, hopefully there'll be enough magic left over to enjoy myself anyway!

No. You also have "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience", the Image Works, and Journey Into Imagination -- all at the Imagination Pavilion; Innoventions East and West; Spaceship Earth; and Universe of Energy. Along with IceStation Cool, and all the restaurants, shops and pin trading locations, plus the normal Future World entertainment and character greetings. (Don't forget about the new "Crush" attraction at Living Seas.)

Thanks WDW Searcher

I forgot about Spaceship earth!

We skip Imagination with out little ones.

What is Universe of Energy? I am having WDW amnesia.
