I can fully understand rides having to close for maintenance, and certain rides having to close due to weather conditions, and I can also fully understand that the most convenient time to do this, would be in the winter months when the park is quieter.
Having said that, I don't understand why Casey Jnr, and Le Pays de Contes seem to be mostly shut throughout the low season.
If they are not prepared to open them more often, then they should replace them with rides that are open throughout the year.
Yes, we may pay less for accommodation through the low season, but the park tickets remain the same price.
I'm sure when Walt Disney first had his vision for Disney theme parks, it wasn't to alienate anyone, or stop anyone enjoying the rides. =(

On this trip we noticed that Casey Jnr was shut off with the green fencing. You couldn't even see it. I wonder how long it will be like this for???

Le Pays des Contes des Fees is currently in refurb. They have drained the water from the ride and are refurbing, that's why the green fences up.

The green fence is normal when Storybook land is closed.

Funny that these rides always seem to be refurbed the most, yet they are hardly ever open.

Although they bother were open on my halloween trip 18th - 23th.

I must be lucky we have managed a ride on Casey Jnr on most visits.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow,... You're always a day closer to my next Disney trip!

we are going on 6th to 8th April, so hopefully Casey Jnr should be open.  We rode it in July 09 and was my little boy's first coaster ride.  I hope he can ride it again, as swinging left and right on my office chair in my study while watching the video on this site doesn't have the same effect, and is taking it's toll on my chair :o
Just like we dreamed it

Ha ha, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you then...

I go just before you, and I'm hoping it'll be open for me too.

Casey Jr. was definitely open last year, on Sunday 13 May 2012, when I shot this 1080p HD video of it. See what I did there?  :D

We visit twice a year have done for 5 years and the past 2 years we have found this to be open on particular days (not everyday) so usually now it's the first port of call to check the sign. We visit march and September hope this helps :)
