Wonders of Life at Epcot-- open this month!

[darcyt]

We were there Saturday morning after 10 and it was empty. Cranium Command is hilarious (we were the only ones in the theater watching it-- such a shame!) and Body Wars is great (a walk on-- it's so odd to walk down those long hallways and remember being in huge lines there!). The building is rarely open, and I think it is only open until Dec 31, so if you are going this month, now is the chance.

It was a fun "blast from the past" for us, and we didn't know it was going to be open. It is not even mentioned on the Epcot maps anymore, and is not very well advertised/signposted when you are there. It would be a shame to miss it.

I wish they would update Cranium Command (it really is so clever) and keep the building open. Body Wars would probably be a good draw if people know that it's there.

It's a great building to escape the crowds, too. It is not open in the evening (shares hours with other Future World attractions).

I'm glad they've reopened it for a bit! We'll be there in 10 days and you can bet we'll be visiting Cranium Command and Body Wars! It's been such a long time since I've done those!

Last week was my first visit to the Wonders of Life pavillion as it was closed the only other trip I took to Epcot. I was so happy to finally get to see everything!

Wow.
So many probably think those attractions were gone for good.
Glad they are still there.
"Body Wars" was a pretty major ride to just be left sitting there, I thought.

I'm so envious! I really wish it had been open when we were there in early October! I wanted to sneak in anyway!

We were there last week. We had never been, so I was excited to see it. The exhibits were neat, but Cranium Command (cute premise) and Making of Me (not a fan) need to updated. We didn't do Body Wars, so I can't comment. It was listed anywhere that it was open, but they did make an announcement at Honey I Shrunk the Audience.

Here are a few pictures:

We'll be there next week, and we're looking forward to seeing Cranium Command (one of our old favorites) for the first time in years. I remember that it has George Wendt, Bobcat Goldthwaite, Hans & Franz, and many other actors/characters that many younger visitors probably don't know. Even so, we can't wait to see it again! Our 9 year old DS will probably appreciate it a lot more than he did when he was 4!

Wow! We will be there Saturday and can't wait

Neither Dh nor I have ever been in this pavillion before, and when I found out that it was to be open during our visit, I told DH that we just HAD to do Cranium Command and Body Wars (I've heard so much about them from the boards).

We will be at EPCOT on Monday. . .can't wait!

I had never done body wars until last week and was disappointed I love star tours but was really let down by body wars thought it would be more action pacted less intense that star tours

We checked it out last week. I almost forgot about it because the Pavillion is not on the maps or on the directionals in the park.

My son liked Body Wars(10) and loved the Goofy movie - but yes, they really need to update the entire pavillion. It screams '80s!

I'm glad we got to check it out though, because the two other times we've been at Disney it was closed. There was only three other people on Body Wars when we went on. I don't think most people even knew it was open.

I love Cranium Command, but I agree, it needs updating! Does anyone know why they haven't done any updating on it?

We were at Epcot the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was open! I even checked! When did it open! I'm sad we missed it. Last time I was there was in 2002 and I did all of the rides and shows in it for the first time, so I'm glad I did get to see it all! You are right though...it screams 80's! But, what is the point of opening it at all if they aren't going to advertise it? Then, they're going to think no one cares about it, but it's because nobody knows about it!
