A berber music act should be coming to Morocco and a Celtic folk act should be coming to the UK.

Ad sign twirling on the corner at a souvenir shop in LBV should work.With the instability of being employed by Epcot entertainment, I'd make sure to have a back-up plan.

Conquer the world, according to that one Eddie Izzard bit.
"I claim this land in the name of Great Britain."
"You can't claim it; we live here! 500 million of us!"
"... Do you have a flag?"

But Kitty is Japanese Duffy should be carrying her purse...

That would cost money - no entertainment means a bigger bonus check for TDO executives.

How long until we get Gomez and Fester to perform the Mamushka somewhere in World Showcase?

Wow! I'm impressed..... I was actually thinking I'd be more impressed with the lumberjack show.. (Hey, I liked it. -.-) and for some reason I'm shocked nobody here is complaining about this..

Yeah but at least The Ziti Sisters was interactive and engaged the audience. This is just sorta of repetitive and even if they are contractors I wonder how this is cheaper with the amount of people needed for this show.

Maybe it isn't cheaper. They're saving money in other areas of the park though.

Ageed. Went by the 'lumber jack show' last week....felt like a throwback to what you'd see at your county fair. Seemed like tired jokes interrupted by noise pollution and a waste of good lumber. Where are all of the Tree Huggers when you need them!

We were in Italy on Thursday and saw this. It kept the kids attention and was interesting. The kids like the flag fighting portion. We ate dinner in Tutto afterward and the second show with all the drumming outside was a little annoying but didn't ruin dinner.

Mexico is great. Once you walk in that pavilion, you're transported. I still love being fooled into think it's night time.

Fun aside- my first trip in over a decade (might have been a decade and a half), the flight was scheduled to leave December 22, 2012, which, as you may recall, was the date that many thought the world would end. When I finally got to the Mexico Pavilion, I went to the Mayan Calendar display, snapped a pic, and posted it to Facebook with the caption "Suck it, Mayans!"

I've said it before and will probably say it again, it's all about the benefits. Replacing a half dozen people who were with the company in some form or another for 10-15 years (didn't some of the sisters move over from the AC?) means you can usually get contractors to do it for much less. On wages alone, you could probably add 30% more people. If they provide their own costumes, need less sound techs, etc. Saving the 20% of salary they were spending on health care and other benefits is the money saver. Not to mention, I don't think these guys had a standing booked gig somewhere talented as they may be, so may have given Disney a good deal for a steady job.

Haven't seen the video because I'd prefer that the first time I see it, I'm watching it live, but I'm looking forward to this. Honestly, it's pretty rare that I devote much time to these little street shows in WS after I've seen them once or twice, but I love that they are there just from an atmospheric standpoint. Adds a great energy...

If it's the big stone calender near the entrance with the guy in the middle sticking out his tongue. It's an Aztec calendar.
