Refurb Jan and Feb and some longer

[brendahamlincoln]

I was hoping to see World of Color, darn it! And I'm assuming if the Main St. train station is closed that means no rides on the Lilly Belle :T Oh well! Still lots of new things to see when I visit next month. Can't wait for the new Star Tours! It was always one of my favorite rides as a kid and it was closed last time I went in 2010.

I looked at the Calendar for our dates (Feb 2-5) to see entertainment offerings, and it appears Silly Symphony Swings is only closed during the week according to the chart, and closed during the week? I guess only time will tell.

02/04/13 - 02/14/13 - Silly Symphony Swings
It looks like it's closed for eleven days, Feb 4th through Feb 14th.

If you want to ride them, you'd better take time on your first two days.

Based on the date in your signature...

You hit DL the first time when they were putting in the Christmas overlay. You will now be hitting the time when they are removing the Christmas overlay.

Do they ever open rides a couple days early? My nephews have never been on Splash mountain, and they were so excited to go on it! Our last day is the 12th, and I was hoping they might have a surprise on our last day. Didn't Indiana Jones open a couple days early last month?

I believe all schedules are subject to change of course, but the likelihood is low. Indy did a soft opening on the last day of the refurb schedule last month, but that's just that last day and wouldn't really help you.

From past years' experience, do they ever complete the Haunted Mansion overlay removal early? I'm dying to ride the 'regular' Haunter Mansion since I've only ever gotten to ride the NBC version, but it's not scheduled to open until the day after we leave.

I agree, it's in the train tunnel at DL. It was closed one time I was there.

Yes, you're both right, I was thinking of Primeval Whirl. lol Too similar.

If the MS station is closed they will board the Lilly Belle (and offer tender rides) at NOS station, ask, you never know.

Yes, there are soft openings but you shouldn't count on it. I hope you are able to ride it!

That one is a little confusing. One source doesn't mention it, the other source says that it's just the Mill that will be down.

That makes sense, since Fantasmic! is on the closed list too.
I like to take the kids there to let them burn off energy.

I hope you're right.
