Bye Bye, CinéMagique. Confirmed closing 30th March

[Stitchfan626]

I am absolutely gutted. I know it was a bit 'old' but I loved it. Even my DS loved it (even at 2!) and we used to see it several times each visit. I've even be known to watch it on youtube (more than once!).

It was good harmless fun. My understanding is that it was instead of the 'great movie rise' in WDW as they didn't think that would fit with the European audience. With this closing the Studios is loosing even more of its original 'theme'.

its not school holidays in France now is it? Zone A holidays finished last weekend, but Paris area went back to school in mid-Feb?

Its true, every year DLP goes into closure-and-refurb mode from January to March inclusive, and that has been ramped up even more this year, to make things all shiny for the 25th anniversary year starting in April.

Oh, I'm surprised at this - there are worse shows (Armageddon especially!). We love Cinemagique it's such a unique show and never gets boring. Hopefully whatever they replace it with will be as good as Mickey & the Magician which is a fabulous show.

Lady in Salon Mickey said Paris finished on March 10- I was there 11-14 and it was super rammed even on the Tuesday when I thought it may die off.

Now you could argue the amount of closures...star tours... space.. pirates.. backlot tour.. mickey and the magican.. etc... means there are more people chasing less things to do, but it was surprising to see all security gates open into the seure area- they were even letting people through to the village from the station area, it was very busy.

We all love Cinemagique and watch every visit so are sad to see it go & agree Armageddon should go instead! Far too many closures in April now 😢
