Per WDWmagic.com this is confirmed, and will be replaced by another show short term, and may be replaced by a different attraction long term
I am sure it is an underutilized attraction anyway, I know we didn't go see it despite spending almost 3 hours in the Land paviliion between Soaring, lunch at Garden Grille and Living with the Land boat ride.
Disney Performing Arts will take over the space shortly after the closure for student workshops and performances beginning February 9th, 2018.
I agree that it is underutilized.
I'm a bit annoyed about this:
This is from here.
So, it sounds to me that this area won't even be used for public shows anymore. Talk about underutilized!
That’s what I thought the replacement was. If not I need to make a correction to who knows how many people when I said it out loud in Epcot “circle of life is closing to move the training areas there so they can build Brazil! It’s about time.” I doubt anyone was listening but it helps to be rightI think they're leaving the area that could become a Brazil Pavilion, so if that happens, a good trade off
