Tod ??

I noticed it didn't list TOD on the April Epcot hours. Is it officially gone? First, Hunchback, now this ??

I'm afraid so. I'll miss it-one of our favorites.

The main difference between Hunchback and TOD is that TOD is being replaced. Although the timeline is still uncertain. Look for discussions on the "Rumors" board if you're interested, including this one:

I'm not sure when the replacement might actually be ready, but you can always keep your fingers crossed...

Yes, i can confirm TOD is ending - read it in the info. in my most recent issue of AllEars:

"The final performance of Epcots's Tapestry of Dreams will be held on March 1st, 2003. No official word yet on what if anything will replace this parade."

I'm so disappointed that we can't see two of our favorites "must-sees"

Try to focus on the positive. WDW has made a number of guest-friendly moves in the last 6 months, including:

- Brought back Early Entry (Extra Magic Hour).

- A LOT more characters in the parks.

- New TOT drop sequences.

- Two new attractions (Mission Space and Mickey's PhilharMagic) set to open this year.

- Beauty and the Beast running daily (it wasn't prior to the end of Hunchback).

...and I'm sure I missed many more.

Rumor has it that the primary reason the Hunchback show closed is that the theater is currently unusable. Apparently it was built with some sort of a special use permit, and now they have no choice but to tear it down.

In the case of Tapestry of Dreams, a replacement show is forthcoming. I agree, it was one of our favorites as well. But now it's time to build some new memories. The show has run its course and I'm anxious to hear about the new parade they will have in place when we return...hopefully destined to be a NEW favorite.

I hope they hurry-I'll be there in May.

I was sure in my next life I would come back to be the butterfly in the TOD parade! Now what will I do?
