what new/different at WDW from Feb. 2002

[elainabelle]

Our last trip was Feb 2002 and we are going again in Feb 2005. Just trying to save a little research and hoping someone would share anything that has changed or is new, a must see or a must avoid.

From the research I have done, it looks like there is still the extra magic hour and the only real change in the shows is the Luau. Am I right?

Welcome to the DIS, <b>elainabelle</b>. I'm very glad you found us and I hope you can visit often.

I'm going to bump this back to page one for you so that some of our veterans can answer your question.

Hi,

There's been a few changes (not all good) but majority will be the same.

MGM - ToT has now got seat belts instead of the lapbar and varies how it drops you to add a bit of surprise. Hunchback show has closed and the artists have left so the animation tour is different.

Epcot - Mission Space is there and is a must do, dont worry about all the warnings. I get sick on the teacups and am fine on this.

AK - Primieval whirl has been added and is good fun

MK - new fireworks are a great improvement. Mickeys philarmagic has replaced the Lion King show. Stitch will have replaced Alien encounter by the time you go.

There may have been some changes to the parades as well. You'll also notice a bit of building work at MGM and AK for new rides/shows.

Biggest changes are at Universal which has had a few (much needed) changes.
