Colors of the Wind closes

; ; After a 10-year run, the live ‘Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends’ show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom will close Sept. 27, Walt Disney World announced Thursday.

; ; No immediate replacement is planned for the amphitheater. The Pocahontas character will remain in the park, though three actors must audition for other shows.

; ; The remainder of the 28-member cast and crew will be reassigned, said spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez.

With no replacement for this show coming soon, I think we can now begin to talk about the land being cleared behind Camp Minnie-Mickey. We can now let the rumors begin….

Thta's too bad. Yes, it was a very cheesy show, but it was aimed at preschoolers. It was quite an intimate space too. I remember allowing my then 5 and 3-year-olds to sit on their own up front. They thought the whole show was magical ; :D. I liked the way it connected live animals and nature to the park.

Oh well, I'm in the minority ... we like going to Conservation Station to hear the animal talks and check out the babies. We also do lots at Innovention at Epcot. I guess Disney has to cater to the majority who want thrill rides and souvenirs.

I hope they do something with the space and not just make it a character meet and greet.
