News Thomas Mazloum appointed as new President of Disneyland Resort

[CaptinEO]

Seems like the new president has already cut entertainment significantly. The Playhouse Disney show at Cali Adventure and the Avenger's Campus show were both cancelled this week without notice. Perfect for the big spring break and summer crowds.

Also the Hyperion, Captain EO Theater, Carousel of Progress Theater, and Fantasyland Theater are all without shows.

The playhouse Disney show has been canceled to make way for a Bluey live show, it’s already being cast. It’s not a cut, just a switch to a more relevant IP.

Was this confirmed? I have a feeling this is it as well but I don’t think it was announced.

There's nothing on the project tracker page.

This is just a rumor at this point. And why would they cut a kids show right when Spring Break is starting up? This switchover is what you'd do in the Jan-Feb off season.

Its not a rumor, its coming sometime this year it was just a matter of where. So the closure of the Playhouse makes sense.

"Details about how guests can meet Bluey and her family at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will be shared in the months ahead."

They just haven't released the actual details, but Bluey and crew are indeed coming to the Parks. There was also a job posting which many have attributed to this -

Is this linked to Bluey coming to Disneyland?

So yeah its not a rumor, its an actual thing that is happening. As they aren't going to spend money on getting the theme park rights to a globally popular character just to have only on the ships.

But why do this closure during the busy season when all the preschool kids need a show? Is entertainment not talking to ops?

Possible they want the show up and running by the time the 70th starts, dunno.

Is it true that he hates entertainment? If so, no wonder we're not getting a new show for Fantasyland Theatre!

It's not true, just something someone made up on Twitter for clicks. DCL under his leadership never saw any entertainment cuts, but an increase in entertainment with the three new ships each having separate dinner shows, plus the Lighthouse Point's Junkanoo

FL Theater has had a new show in quite awhile, long before this new president took over. So one has nothing to do with the other, and as mentioned no he doesn't hate entertainment.
