What exactly does seasonal mean?

[Ducky4Disney]

I really like CoP and I want my Dad to see it on our upcoming trip but I know it's open "seasonall". What season? Open in the winter? Or Spring? Help me out!? When is CoP open?

Thanks!

"Seasonal" usually means only open during peak times. COP has been open all the time because of the Alien Encounter change to Stitch. Timekeeper has been closed. When Stitch opens, not sure what will happen to COP.

95% of the time "Seasonal" = CLOSED

The Wonders of Life at Epcot has been listed as Seasonal for about a year, but it remained closed during the high attendance periods over the summer (4th of July weekend included).

As DebbieB said, it's hard to tell what will happen to CoP right now. I've seen rumors that it will remain open indefinitely as a tie-in with Disneyland's 50th anniversary. But that celebration doesn't officially begin until May'05.

Will it close between November '04 and May '05?

Will it even be open in May '05 and beyond?

Nobody really knows for certain. When January rolls around we may have a better idea. By then "Stitch" will be in full swing and the holiday crowds will be gone. January should provide as good an insight into the future of CoP as anything else.

Seasonal = high enough attendance to warrant operating another attraction to take in some of the crowds.
