Well, OK.. it’s a juggler. At least it’s some form of entertainment. But I wish Disney would give us some other form of entertainment that would please guests. How about getting something more original that isn’t just a remake of what we had before.

Or bring back what we had before which fit the park and didn’t feel temporary or forced.

I can see a juggler downtown pretty much any sunny weekend. (And often people I don't want to see, juggling things they shouldn't be) Likely, they're better than this guy, though I wish him no ill will. Performers like the Citizens are emblematic of that pesky ol' phrase "The Disney difference" not that they pay much deference to the difference anymore.

Citizens of Hollywood were also actors equity members - a huge factor here

I think I get what you're saying, but I'm pretty sure the largest entertainment company in the world can afford it.
Of course they can!
It’s not a question of affording the pay out for it. It’s how they see a return on their money. Paying multiple performers the pay scale thats required on a daily basis throughout the year adds up and it doesnt make them money in return. As opposed to the build of an attraction which interests/ drives guest to be booking trips. People dont book trips to see CoH actors.

Humans, despite our best efforts, are still by and large humans. Our decision making processes cannot be tracked via financial spreadsheets. There’s obvious truth in what you’re saying but that doesn’t negate the subconscious cues that might prompt a fond memory and create a desire to come back. Spreadsheets, ROI, et al are rational. People are not. Just because a causation can’t be traced through rational means doesn’t make it insignificant. “Everything counts in large amounts” That’s from the Western Expansion Act.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Covid was definitely an easy scape goat for Disney to cut plenty of beloved experiences that guests loved... That Disney wished to get rid of for quite some time... Without having to hear about the bad rep drama on social media.

If it didnt cause so much complaining, I'm sure Disney would have never brought back those parking lot trams lol.
