Disney World is getting a makeover.

In order to appeal to the younger audience, five of the old attractions are rumored to shut down and be replaced by newer Disney attractions.

The Great Movie Ride in Hollywood Studios encompasses the need for change as it shows primarily older films that will likely be replaced by a Star Wars-themed attraction.

Michael Jackson’s Captain EO in Epcot is also rumored to be shut down, but Disney has yet to find a replacement for the 3D movie, and therefore cannot close the Michael Jackson attraction until a new movie is found.

Soarin’, a ride that mimics the terrain of California, is said to be replaced by a new, globally based version called Soarin’ Over the Horizon.

The last thing to go, though not a ride, is the fountains at the Polynesian Resort in order to create room for additions to the Disney Vacation Club.

What do you think of these new changes to such a classic place?
