The Disney Calendar shows that both Haunted Mansion and Small World go down on January 5, 2009 to transition from Holiday mode.

Unfortunately, the Disney Calendar does not show the opening date for either attraction. At the current moment it show both attractions in refurbishment from Jan 5 thru Jan 31, and no February calendar has been released, yet. It is possible that they just did not place the reopening date on the calendar yet - SO if any cast member knows the re-opening date of either or both attratctions, please let us know. Thanks!

Alright, alright, I know this thread has already been derailed a few times, but I must comment on this.

Luke, don't feel bad, bud! You are an excellent member to the MC community.

It's just that in this case you were a little hasty with a reply, and you received criticism for that reply.

But otherwise, most of your posts are very accurate - and I appreciate your involvement with MC.

I Luke's defense, Disney.com has cited incorrect information on the refurbishment schedule before.

Sometimes, it is hard to keep up with every last bit of up-to-date information here, simply because there is a lot of it, with so many members and so many threads, and one only has so much time in the day.

In the end, for this board to remain harmonious, we must all read and type here with open minds and be careful in how we phrase things - in terms of most things we discuss here, it is based upon speculation, so anyone could end up being wrong


I'm thrilled that Disney is ahead of schedule. I think it just goes to show that if they really want to, they can create something new and exciting for us in the parks fairly fast (though there are gray areas, like what happened during the sub's construction). I'm going to Disneyland with some friends that day, specifically so that we can enjoy the holiday offerings.

I wonder about all of the new stuff...are we going to see the beefed-up new Hello! and Goodbye! areas?

I miss that ride, i dont find the song to be contagious or irritating. That is ride is a piece of art.

I know I'm coming into this a little late but the information Luke gave is actually exactly what you would get from any cast member, the cast member reference guide that says the dates of current and upcoming refurbs and closures still has 11/29 listed at the opening date for IASW.

Yes, that was exactly what I was stating my info from.

Honestly,

As much as I LOVE It's a Small World Holiday, I really wish they were just re-opening the ride without the overlay in November and not closing it again 1 1/2 months later. It's been closed WAY too long already.

True... but for some reason to me it doesn't scream HOLIDAYS without IASW in a holiday overlay! That always puts me in the holiday mood, even if it is early. I am willing to accept a small downtime shortly after because of the willingness to open if for the holidays.

I hear ya Tech, I LOVE the overlay too. But I actually miss IASW.

Thanks for the info!

I haven't gone on IASW in a very long time. The last time I probably went on it was back in 2004. It's a great ride, but not my favorite one.

[Tinkmomma]

IASW means a lot to me and now that I have children, it means even more. I really want to take them on it..it has been WAY WAY too long! Our youngest has never even been on it. I love the holiday mode; it's the best and yes it just doesn't feel like Christmas w/o it, for me. (Sorry if that's too political or what have you but we do celebrate the holidays and Christmas.)
