I mean we kept hearing 2025 was the year of entertainment at WDW.

So far, we got Starlight and two new shows (Mermaid at DHS and Villains) at DHS. Is the new shows at DHS meant to help with capacity gain/losses during Muppets or Disney Jr. Dance closure?

Dreams that Soar was wildly popular but was such a operations nightmare, I'd be surprised it returns at Disney Springs in 2025.

Epcot and AK have what coming?

Either way, not a ton of entertainment for my taste like they have been teasing. Not yet.

It’s not 2025 yet.

There have been casting calls for street entertainers - I assume in Epcot / Boardwalk. Not sure if the location was mentioned.

Hopefully there’s a surprise or two but I guess we will see.

I think those casting calls were for Epcot. And I also think that those who know more tend to believe those are slotted for spots around WSL.

That was my impression too. But it occurred to me they could also “fit” on the Boardwalk.

Do entertainers ever do both I wonder?

Actually I saw casting call for both. Hopefully more entertainment is coming. It really isnt that hard to cast for this because in some cases I know people who still live locally and have done those roles previously. C'mon Disney, let's do this!! Marie

I believe they are hired by different departments but they could potentially do both. Some of the former boardwalk jugglers performed at both the boardwalk and storybook circus for a while.

Does anyone know what Disney was doing last night in terms of fireworks testing? At about 3:45 in the morning I was awoken by the sounds of a fireworks launch, closer to the ones that happened during the Castle show than anything else. I heard a few more over the next 5 minutes before finally getting back to sleep... Not exactly sure what it is about, maybe Enchanted testing for the parties in the new year?

FITS NYE?

I would think TDO would work on that before DE 2025.
