Is Flights of Wonder at Animal Kingdom Having Its Wings Clipped?

FOW

If Flights of Wonder at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is one of your favorite attractions at Walt Disney World, you may want to start making plans to see it one last time. Gossip has been circulating that the show will make its final performance at the end of this year.

Flights of Wonder is both entertaining and informative featuring several different species of birds performing for Guests of all ages. One of the main attractions of the show is Guano Joe or Jane—the amusing explorer who fears birds more than a bit. During the course of the show, the trainer introduces you to the fascinating natural behaviors and often humorous talents of at least 20 species of exotic birds.

Flights of Wonder is quite popular with Guests at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Five shows are typically offered throughout the day with most shows completely packed with enthusiastic, bird-watching Guests. So, it comes as a surprise to many that the show may be coming to an end. Rumors suggest that the Caravan Stage where Flights of Wonder is performed will be renovated to make room for a new show to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened on Earth Day 1998 and will celebbrate it’s 20th Anniversay in April.

As always, nothing is confirmed until Disney confirms it. Us here at Chip & Co will keep you posted if/when an official announcement is made.

There’s still time to catch one last performance of Flights of Wonder!

Hollywood Studios Construction Photos Near Tatooine Traders

Hollywood Studios Construction Photos Near Tatooine Traders

We have some new Hollywood Studios construction photos near Tatooine Traders. The walkway next to Tatooine Traders in Hollywood Studios has now been eliminated and walls erected to hide current construction.

The opening of Grand Avenue has made the path along Tatooine Traders, leading guests to the Muppets Courtyard, unneeded.  Disney has pushed back the wall, leaving a “dead end,” so to speak, at the Star Tours gift shop.

This Spaceship Earth Necklace is Out of This World

Spaceship Earth Necklace

Epcot is one of my favorite Disney theme parks. Because of that I love anything Spaceship Earth, it’s always the first ting I think of when I think of Epcot. I love this Spaceship Earth Necklace by SuzyMakesThings because I could always wear Epcot close to my heart.

Spaceship Earth is the most well known icon of Epcot, and I also love the ride within. This round cabochon pendant has an image of the iconic Spaceship Earth design inside. With the rounded glass it really has the three dimensional look of the infamous Spaceship Earth attraction. The pendant comes on a 24 inch chain, so it will hang at a nice length for such a great statement piece. I’m also a fan of their UP! inspired necklaces too!

Would you wear Epcot close to your heart with this Spaceship Earth Necklace?
