    I think this a moot point. I believe this is one attraction that will never be changed due to Walt's wishes....

    Absolutely keep it! this is a great attraction! The final scene does need some updating but seriously, they cannot take this away. I get upset when it is closed during "down" times. I never want to see this go away! It is Walt's heart at best!

    It's not hurting anything being there. I would be very disappointed if they tried to take it away

    My wife loves this attraction. She enjoys singing the song and it's the second thing we do entering Tomorrowland after going on Buzz Lightyear a couple of times. We've had a whole theater all to ourselves a couple of times and we both sing along.
    It could used a little more updating, but it's still a very unique and entertaining ride. We'd like to cast two votes to keep it forever.

    I love it! It may be lame & corny, but I enjoyed it all. I think there needs to be an update of some sort, but I don't think it should be closed permanently.

    I think if they closed COP, we would be heartbroken.

    Definitely keep it! This is on our must do list every trip. In fact, in all the times I've gone (18ish) I don't think I've ever not gone on it. I can't wait to introduce my son to it!

    The original, that is, the Worlds Fair version was my introduction to audio-animatronics. I was 13 at the time in 1964. In the first scene, I would have sworn they were real live people. I had probably seen the WF version about a dozen times.
    Fast forward to our first WDW visit in 1975, I was over-joyed to see a familiar attraction.
    Yes, I thing it should be updated with two or three additional scenes to fill in the gap. Then just revamp the last one every few years.

    Take it away. NEVER!!!

    CoP is a *must keep*. This is one my family never misses. Lots of great hidden mickeys in the final scene. We were in Disney for the first week of April and received a "surprise fastpass" for CoP while getting fastpasses for Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. My gf was excited and felt that she hit the jackpot with an extra FP. I hope others felt this way and rode it as a result!

    CoP is the *one* attraction that Walt personally touched; one that Walt *wanted* to remain in the park(s). Walt only set foot on the Florida property one time - in 1966, just before he passed away. CoP is the only connection now between Walt, and Walt Disney World (other than the name of the property, obviously).

    Yes, the animatronics need some work - and I noted that to my managers when I worked the attraction. Yes, the scenes need updating - but you can only do so much with only four scenes.

    But, CoP needs to stay.

    It has to say. I agree it needs a refurb, but it is a classic...

    I don't have much opinion on it. I've done it twice. Wasn't super excited but it was a cute show.
