There are a number of closures schedules across theme parks in Orlando this weekend with today and tomorrow being the last day to catch some popular attractions before they close for good. Here is the list:
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
The Osborne Family of Dancing Lights will be switched on for the last time today, January 3rd, this is the biggest casualty of all of the attraction closures in my opinion. I managed to attend the lights for the first time in November and the experience was just incredible.
On January 4 Phineas & Ferb and Cars meet and greets will also be shutting for good along with the Joffrey’s kiosk located in Streets of America.
Of course this is all because there are big changes coming to this area of the park with Toy Story Land and Star Wars both in the works and expected to go in the Streets of America area.
Epcot
Today is the last time to catch Soarin in it’s current format before it is upgraded to Soarin’ Around the World. The attraction will be reopening in the Summer with an additional theater added for good measure.
Universal Studios
Beetlejuice’s Graveyard Mashup will have one final performance for passholders on January 5th with the much loved attraction being replaced in 2017 with Fast & Furious Supercharged.
Ryan has been attending theme parks since as long as he can remember and his first proper memory comes from when he was just three years old sitting in Main Street USA drinking a Nesquik milkshake from a carton while the piano was being played outside Casey’s Corner.
