Animal Kingdom says goodbye to Pocohontas
For those of you that are unaware, Disney has announced the closing of one of the original attractions of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. According to the Orlando Sentinel, , the last show will be September 27th. This is not a terribly compelling show for sure. It was one of those attractions that after seeing it once, you never went back. For those who have never seen it, it was a small theater where Pocohontas appeared with Grandmother Willow and several live animals. The whole thing was environmentally educational and small children were able to sit up front for a better view.
Disney has not announced a replacement. The demise of this attraction has been rumored for some time. One rumor placed an animal actors show at this location. Another rumor placed a show around Merlin and a dragon here. As many of you are aware, Camp Minnie Mickey was initially a temporary land with the Beastly Kingdomme eventually occupying this spot. This closure almost assuredly is not a sign of the coming of the Beastly Kingdomme. In all likelihood, the area will remain a low-key stage show.

What cracks me up about this show is how it lectures you on being good to the environment and how we should protect our trees and forests…yet we’re sitting on half logs in the audience.
