Well, Dang! Now we have to convert The Hyperion Theater back to American Idol !!! :bawling:
No
just when we thought it was over...
My gut tells me that it will be in the Cirque du Soleil La Nouba auditorium, since that show closes at the end of the year. But, I don't have any info on that being a fact.
The funniest thing is Kelly is going to be ditched again by yet another co-host.

No, she's supportive (at least it's implied she is) and he will be doing both.
The irony.

She said the same about Strahan doing GMA.

And then... poof, gone.
Can't believe we're doing this all over again with Idol :banghead:

Ok
WDW and America Idol:
It's like a bad rash that just won't go away.
Really hope they do not bring this attraction back. Some things are better left dead...
It's just one day of auditions not really that big of a deal to me. They were going to hold auditions in Orlando, why not at Disney Springs? It's not like they're bringing back American Idol Experience. Why does it bother anyone they're holding a day of auditions here? ABC/Disney now produce the show. It is what it is.

I would go if my voice weren't terrible.

Maybe I'll still go. That's good TV.
