I had heard that he was part of a different type of contract realignment. And yes, that guy in my photo is probably my favorite performer in all of WDW, and yes, I do get annoyed by the financial crap messing up good shows, but I don't just jump there automatically. For what its worth, I'm...

Let us also consider something else as a possibility. Now, I know that most of you will dismiss this out of hand based on your preconceived notions of how the parks are run, and perhaps you are wise to do so, but... What if there is a plan to revitalize Epcot, to once again make it relevant...

You are changing my point to be something it was not. I said that we have no evidence to believe that this was done solely as a budget cut and that it is inherently a bad thing. Now, it is entirely possible that this could in fact reduce the budget AND be a good thing, provided the new...

And neither does your, or anyone else on this board's, opinion and anecdotal evidence.

Look, all I can tell you is that everyone I've spoken too in real life about this doesn't really seem to care about Off-Kilter. Some of these folks say that they liked them and some don't even know who they are. Now, my anecdotal evidence of a dozen or so Disney fans who regularly go down to...

To which assertion are you referring?

The chair acrobats in France, the Voices of Liberty, and the Taiko Drummers (which, I love). Now if you're talking about in general and not just performers, I'd list about a dozen or so things. This is opinion, not right or wrong, and maybe for YOU Off-Kilter is this huge iconic thing, but I...

But, I'm sure someone else can. I get exactly what you are saying and think that you can apply that same logic to ANY of the World Showcase entertainments, but new stuff is coming that might be just as good. I really hate that I have to be an apologist here, but I just don't seem the doom and...

They aren't spraying anything on those kilts, they're trading them in for flags.

I'm sorry, but I don't think that I am. Disney is NOT just cutting, they are replacing. Some of what they are cutting is beloved and will be miss, some is not as good (all of this being opinion of course). Some of what they are bringing in sounds exciting, some sounds lame (again, opinion)...

Part of being a performer is a lack of job security, that's true regardless of whether or not your employer is Walt Disney World, a Broadway production, or a movie studio. Acts come and go and Off-Kilter had a fairly long run, I'm sure they won't have trouble find gigs elsewhere. In fact, a...

If you are equating Off-Kilter with the Haunted Mansion, I would argue that you are missing a larger point. The two are NOT comparable in any sense. I understand what you are saying, but you're taken your point to an extreme place that it implodes on itself. In fact, I would argue that...

They do not consider it because it does not exist. I feel very confident in saying that the number of folks who will stop going to Epcot because of the acts departing is equal or less than the number of folks who will visit to see the new acts and mostly amounts to friends, family, and die-hard...

Classic logical error here. You're lumping everyone into one group, when it is entirely possible that the people who were complaining at the introduction of the group are NOT the same folks who are upset at the group being let go. I mean, it's possible that they are the same, but more likely...

While I do agree that a good CM can make it, it's really a good PAIR that you need, not just one, which reduces the chances significantly. Also, female Mugsy? What the what?!? Doesn't work, specifically because they are escaping from a movie era where there would NOT have been a female...

Call it what you want, but it needs a gutting of the "storyline." Get rid of the actors and either do a pre-record or a cast member who only has to narrate, not try to act (and usually fail). With the storyline removed, you would need to do some work to fix the gaps left behind. I know that...

Smoke, eat some beans, and roll his eyes at folks invoking his name.

While I do think there are muddy waters when you have IP themed attractions in other parks, I think that the important unifying element is the park's theme and that even if there are attractions based on movies and show in other parks, it's about how well they gel together that counts. A ride...

He said it on an episode of Disney Dish when he was talking about how Philharmagic was a big push to draw classic characters in 3D renderings to modernize them. He talked about how the scenes could be interchangeable and that Tangled or Frozen would be logical additions.

You said it brother! I feel like the "movie making" theme is really just a justification for leaving support structures exposed, flats half pained, and ceilings unfinished. Nothing drive me crazier than sitting in the Sci-Fi Drive-In and feeling like I'm on a sound stage rather than...
