Wasnt that the place where honey I shunk the audience, or was that at WDS?

Its in Discoveryland, Disneyland Park replacing Honey I Shrunk The Audience.

Personally I hope they don't bring HISTA back, it was looking tired. Maybe a BRAND NEW 3D show will replace Captain EO when it ends sometime next year?

Is there a merchandise stall for Captain EO? My sister and I are huge Michael Jackson fans, and neither of us have seen this show before and it would be great to have a 'momento' of it.

Yes there is at the shop nearer star tours they have lots to choose from.

There's Captain EO merchandise all over the resort, I bought my Tee in the village!

Has there been a date set yet on when Captain EO will close?

I've got a trip booked in March and would love to see it for the first time since 1988!

I really, really hope it's still open in June! I loved it!  It's utter cheese, there's no other way to describe it, but it is evident that it would have been really cutting edge back in the day.

It might not be temporary. But I'm sure it'll be there at least until after the 20th anniversary.

Bad news, Captain EO fans!

Now apparently being taken as confirmed: Captain EO to close definitively at Disneyland Paris on 2nd April 2012

Final day of operation will be Sunday, 1st April 2012. News of the closure was apparently revealed to Cast Members at the attraction today, with no announcement of an imminent replacement.

I wanted to see it this year in May.  So i hope for something new for this atraction - sad if nothing- dead place in Discoveryland (StarTours is very old, Lion King is dead, 3D cinema is dead, Space Mountain 2 in bad condition... )

I would have hoped to see it in September, but I'm fine with that. Since they will not replace it with another attraction, I don't understand the closing. That area of Discoveryland is already a dead zone and with the very bad condition of Star Tours it gets worse. I guess they will add another M&G.

It's really time to think about the future of Discoveryland. It's just a shadow of its former glory. However Mr. Gas said in a round table discussion that WDI is already working on that. Hopefully they don't scrap the whole discovery theme in favour of more and more toon inspired rides.

No! I love Captain EO

Like Space Mountain: Mission 3 based on the story De la Terre à la Lune avec Buzz l'Éclair, next to Les Mystères du Nemo where the Giant Squid attack is replaced by Meet 'n Greet with Bruce... :')

I'm sorry, that's just pure horror...

Well they've already got the airship for Up, so why not?

What if Disney are closing Captain EO so that they can move the seats and effects hardware over to the Animagique theatre, for Mickey's PhilharMagic?

That's an interesting theory! Though I'm still slightly worried at the fact they're closing an attraction without plans of a replacement.
