There is plenty of blame to go around. They're all acting like a bunch of children don't understand how to play nice together.

Disney just flat out lied to the press. That's also well within the realm of possibility.
And if that's the case, then attractions magazine was right on the money all along....

Makes me wonder if we shouldn't keep our eyes open for a rolling, talking device just down I-4...

A sad reality too was that for a lot of the young guest, Push was more then a entertainer. It was to the younger audiences, a friend. It could actually talk, something few of the characters could do. You didn't have to wait in a line for him, you could hug him, and interact, and take pictures with him.
Now a dance party is supposed to replace that. Many senior citizens who enjoyed listening to Push's jokes can't get up and dance, and others just flat out don't like doing that in a theme park. The park should have parades, and maybe a dance party, but making WDW a giant dance party is a little depressing.
This was a bad day for Disney. Whether it was their fault, or the third party, Disney World was changed. And I think in a negative way.
The only negative thing I ever heard about PUSH, was people didn't know about it. That can be solved through commercials, advertisements, pictures, or merchandise, but over 19 years Disney ignored it and let the thing fend for himself (which to his credit he did). Disney's Best Kept Secret wasn't the Vacation Club, or Hidden Mickeys. It was PUSH

I will agree, this does suck. He always had a crowd around him when he was on stage.

Disney lied to a paper saying he was staying and then 2 days later he was gone. Awful.

I don't really care about apportioning blame, us guests are the ones who miss out on a small but enjoyable entertainment offering. How things have changed at WDW.
And I'd rather Disney not even try to replace PUSH if what they're offering is another tacky dance party.

Well that re-cap saved me pages of posts. Thanks so much.
Seriously? They lied and ding'd social media? Poor PUSH, I'll miss him, such layered magic. I remember when Disney PR was beyond professional, how the mighty have tanked. Sadly, Disney isn't likely embarrassed.
