2 of the former Boardwalk / Storybook Circus Jugglers are performing for the holidays at Disneys Hollywood Studios - great to see them back and hopefully they keep them on.

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.

It’s not 2025 yet.

It's not that far away either.

It's not that far away either.

And we have no hints that entertainment we had or currently have is getting restored....

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?

Disney Springs has streetmosphere performers during the holidays....

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.
