Parades aren’t my thing, so much, but I’m sure many will be overjoyed.

I’ll be overjoyed to sneak on Space Mountain at 3 pm without having to pay!

Alert the PREMIUM dessert party planners! Oh wait, they already know.

So it is fof or do we keep guessing?

You can keep guessing but it’s FoF. It has received a full commitment along with today’s announcements. Unaware of a final F! date, yet, but it’s coming.

Any news on the Hoop-de-Doo Revue? That is one of the best shows on property.

Ok when is G Flo getting it’s orchestra back? How does Port Orleans have better entertainment than the flagship resort?

Grand Floridian does have the piano player back. Which is still very nice.

Grand Floridian and Polynesian used to have live birds in the lobby too.

The G Fla orchestra was closed last year. They’re done. Not waiting on any kind of recall. They were briefly brought back to open an offering at studios, but when it closed they were let go with it.

The big wigs got the message and have decided it’s a GREAT time to approve and announce the return of some beloved classics to get back in the fans’ good graces and hopefully smooth over the fireworks scandals. They believe if they give us 4 or 5 things we love back, we will tolerate Enchantment and Harmonious.

They’re probably right.

“What do you mean, ‘here’s your new fireworks show; enjoy’?!?! I will never forgive this and I’ll take ALL my money to Gatorland!”

“Ooh! A decades-old Mickey show that I love! Can I buy a t-shirt?”

I feel like it's a win-win-win for me. I like Enchantment, I'm not super crazy about but don't hate Harm, and now we get all these things back.

Contemporary often has live birds but we shouldn’t give Disney credit…

Wasn’t all this other entertainment at epcot, dak, and port Orleans also “closed”?

Exactly. All entertainers got contracts axed. People thought that was the last we’d see of them, even they did. Sergio posted a farewell on FB and so on.

Even if not at the GF they deserve to be somewhere.

They were a good fit for Hollywood studios. They fit the era nicely and DHS is the only park with no live music acts now.

Love the parade, huge news!

I got so tired telling people it was going to come back eventually. There is a grown man on another message that board that owes me a charity gift to my choice. I hope he pays up.

 

[wannabeBelle]

I’ve become aware of a particularly-significant entertainment decision. Details when I can.

It’s good.

Sounds great looking forward to it!! Marie

No it’s all mostly been “Temporarily Unavailable” according to the WDW website.

Just double-checking: we are sure this isn't Once Upon a Christmastime Parade correct? That's due to come back next month.

Not until they don’t have to “distance” the cast, as the show is fairly impossible to stage that way. Best guess is spring. Good news is they’re very committed to bringing it back (it’s a direct revenue generator, after all).

Most of the cast has been called back to work and is currently filling other roles at the moment, which is also a good sign.

Yes, but the contracted entertainers had their contracts terminated. Not just suspended. They believed their Disney “career” was over.

Exactly. I’m still holding out a bit of hope that with all this negative press they are trying to turn around this makes a comeback.

They will likely be back once the new GF DVC units go on sale...
