DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I tried to find the rumor thread that was posted the other day about this but couldn't locate it. This is per the 3/15/12 MouseSavers newsletter under the refurbishment section:Hoop De Doo Review closed 8/5/12 - 12/31/12 for refurbishment. Say what?? What kind of refurbishment could possibly take 5 months to complete? I'm not sure I believe this. I hope the closing isn't for some other reason. It's especially difficult to believe they would close for the entire holiday season. Something doesn't seem right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Nothing about closing down Pioneer Hall for that time period has been posted yet. As it's quite a ways out, that's not unusual.I'm wondering if it will be refurbished, but not closed for the HDDR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think the thread title was "say it isn't so" but I can't find it at the moment.I'd like to know where MouseSavers is getting their info. The only thing I've seen on this is a couple of discussion board threads (besides ours) and it still seems to be rumor only, fueled by CMs at Disney Dining who aren't able to make reservations for people during that time period. Even there, some people were told by CMs it was definitely going down for refurb, others were told no way.That said, some of those same people have said they went back a day or so later and could make their ADRs. So it still smacks of rumors fed by hiccups in Disney's reservation system.All of the usually reliable sites have nothing on this yet and it's my understanding there's no info on the CM Hub yet either.I guess time will tell but I agree - I can't imagine for a second that Disney would shut it down during Thanksgiving/Christmas weeks - the latter being the busiest week of the year.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 This is interesting.We know that there are big plans for the Settlement area.Which include the eventual relocation of the whole equine operations up to the Outpost area.At some point, if this ever gets going, there will be major construction going on.I have always maintained that the construction in the Settlement would not begin until they build the new facilities in the Outpost.But who knows?I will say one thing about Pioneer Hall. It was built in 1974. If you ever looked at the ceiling, it is clearly full of asbestos. At some point they are going to have to get around to removing it. If and when that happens, it will be a big deal, but I can't imagine that even that would take 5 months.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 The only logical explanation I have come up with is that they are remaking the entire hall into the all new, grand reunion of the Melvin the Moose Breakfast Show! That would certainly take at least 5 months. 3 weeks to renovate the space...and 4 months to find Melvin. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keylime359 2 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 It just figures. I decide I want to go and bam! I bet they make it bigger to allow for bigger crowds given the DVC. project. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I talked to a friend of mine and she said there has been no mention to the employees about a refurbishment or a closing, but she also said she isn't surprised if the rumors are true. She said if she heard anything, she would let me know.Best Regards,Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially considering my background.Where does your friend work? Maybe I know her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Sorry Lou, she works at the HDDR part time, when she was full time, she used to play Belle at HS.
