He saw the show had legs and gave it his backing.

i’m sure it was quite the balancing act

I'm sure Disney's CHAIRman of the Board personally approved this.

With how much live entertainment Disney has cut over the years, its really nice to see live entertainment like this slowly return. The streetmosphere is one of the best parts about the world showcase.

Now bring back the Citizens of Hollywood!

your report will have to take a back seat to the fun

At least this is more interesting than the other Acrobatic show they had.

Are you kidding me? The Serveur Amusant was great. They made a great team.

This looks very similar to the SeaWorld Christmas show "An Elf's Story". Is it the same performer?

My kids love her show.

Amen!

I always enjoyed the French Waiter act, and really all the Epcot live entertainment over the years has added something to WS. Even the short-lived Italian flag corps felt very "Epcot-y " to me.

I'm reminded of a busking act in Epcot way back in the day, David Rosdeitcher, AKA "The Zip Code Man." I recognized him from his usual gig on Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado. Ah, college...

Now that I think about it, I saw a magician doing a busking act along Sunset Boulevard in DHS at one point.

I would more than welcome buskers like them, too.

That was “Jack Diamond” - he was a member of the citizens of Hollywood and also performed at the saloon back in the day.

DHS has no live street entertainment other than the green army men drummers. How a Disney world theme park gets away with that - I don’t know.

I had a really fun interaction with "Dorma Nesmond" one year. She noticed I had a DSLR and started striking over-the-top glamour poses for me. She was pretty awesome.

Great to see WDW continue to invest in entertainment, especially non IP entertainment, considering how bad the situation has been at DLR recently

It is but we should remember that this isn't a new thing, this is just stuff finally returning after they fired everyone during covid. So bringing it back deserves maybe a tiny bit of praise, but ultimately there is no reason this should've taken so long to reinstate - it's not exactly an expensive thing to have. Heck you could have permanent live entertaining performers at every pavilion around the world showcase and the cost would still be a rounding error.

Jack Diamond was my favorite of the citizens!

Trueblood mentioned busking. We only saw this guy once, but my daughter had a nice interaction with him:

ah yes! “Bucky Greenhorn!” - he wasn’t on the streets of Hollywood long until an agent found him and got him a gig at a Pioneer Hall!

I’m pretty sure he’s still there at Hoop Dee Doo.

Thanks for that info! This is a picture I had from a few years later at Hoop Dee Doo. Pretty sure it is indeed the same guy:
