Always a nice thing to see.

Meanwhile at Disneyland:

They really couldn't find a single black person to be part of that performance? It's LA, for God's sake.

The only thing I wish they’d do is have a guy be Joe Gardner from Soul and play piano each day outside of Casey’s. He could dress as Joe, lead off with the song from Soul, then go into other Disney songs. It doesn’t have to be an official meet and greet, but people could get pictures of him doing his thing.

I mean this in all sincerity: I hope we get more updates on Tiana in February. A great way to promote Tiana during Black History Month. Tie it to actual New Orleans history.

Especially with the amazing band (lead by a black singer) right across the esplanade in DCA, how hard would it be to swap bands for a couple weeks?

Or… maybe some of the cast from the recenty ended Lion King show.

That IS strange.

Wish they would acknowledge Moon Girl(from the animated show everybody seems to ignore, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur), even though it would be impossible to have her appear at WDW, despite her strong African American representation, bc of the Universal park rights for Marvel affecting that possibility

Moon Girl isn't covered by those rights, I'm almost sure of it!

Rumor is the WDW opening date will be announced on Mardi Gras.
