Oh I know that...I just hate when people think the company is actually in trouble financially and really they aren't.

Fairy Godmother Among the cuts

Yeah, they're doing pretty well. It will be somewhat interesting to see how things go with all the construction going on. There's other threads here about the impacts of construction and visiting the world.
Like I said though, it's awful that they are getting rid of tangible things that the customer has access to. I'm sure they could easily find some fluff jobs in the offices somewhere that could easily cut more money than that of all the live performers combined...
You just insinuated that all profits go to executive bonuses. That's really fringe stuff there.

I was at MK yesterday and the spot where the Fairy Godmother usually is had Susie and Perla instead. I'm starting to think that some of these character "removals" aren't necessarily cuts...but just change ups. I've never seen Susie and Perla and neither has my daughter...so it was nice to see that. Additionally, Rabbit was also with Pooh and Tigger...which I've never seen.
Over by the Teacups were Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. I've seen them over there before...but it's been a long while. If these truly are cuts...why are other characters coming out in their place? Maybe some of this isn't necessarily a true cut back.

Character performers get a ton of sick days, so every day is over staffed. FG is a specialty role, if she's out they would pull from other places.

It can't be that hard to staff FG. I'm sure Disney has plenty of older females working that could easily fill the role. It's not that hard of a role to act out either.

It isn't hard to staff, I just imagine that since its a very specific type for that role, they don't have a spare on hand at all times so they just pull out Suzy and Perla instead from other spares in MK that day.

Not even anymore. If I enter the BBB I get arrested, to enter the restaurant I need to pay $629 to get my picture taken with college kids, and the mosaic has been closed off since 1991.
Maybe Disney will let me watch Cinderella's fountain...

If different characters continue to make appearances...then I'm ok with this.
They're not, the different characters are just spares not replacements. The Fairy Godmother has not been replaced by Suzy and Perla.

If Bob Iger took a TWO DAY paycut (roughly $252,000 if I'm doing my math correctly) WDW could afford to keep the Fairy Godmother, Lady Tremaine, both step sisters, Gaston, and a handful of others on board for a solid YEAR at their salaries (can't be more than $30,000, right?)
Just sayin'. A little perspective to tick ya off on a Monday morning.

He earns a quarter of a million dollars in two days?
Math was never my strong point so I'm not going to try and work it out but that's obscene.

Didn't he make $46 million in 2014?

Who knows...this could be one of those temporary things that stays for a while. And even if it's not Susie and Perla specifically...I'm sure there will be others that they use as "replacements."
