PUSH the Talking Trashcan's last day?

[TubaGeek]

Perhaps, did we see Wes Palm end up on Theme Park Connection.

God, I thought I was joking!

I always enjoyed PUSH and thought he was a neat small perk inside Disney World. He is in Disneyland, and I believe several other Disney Parks, and would be sad to see him removed completely.

At first I was very skeptical, but I've now heard from multiple people working within that department that Saturday should be the day. Truly sad and I'm pretty peeved to say the least. I know a lot of people are tweeting to WDW with the #SavePUSH and while you might say such efforts are frivolous, at least you're trying something.

If I am not mistaken I don't believe that PUSH is operator is a Disney Employee. All the units at WDW PUSH PIPA and Wes Palm were own and operated by a company that Disney contracted.

The operator I believe yes. But I'm fairly certain they are Disneys physical assets

Did you just feel it....OUCH! another slice in the "death by a thousand cuts" But oh don't worry WDW is spending billions of dollars to make your visit magical.....says Jimmy Thick.

Any of the bloggers who are on the underground Disney payroll taking up the cause?

I'm sure you'll be the first to suss them out...

Only one of the usual so far that I've seen. But even he isn't defending the change, just questioning if Saturday is truly the last day for PUSH....

I used it last night in Spirit's thread, But you are more than welcome to share it and use whenever appropriate!

It wouldn't be at all surprising.

I always enjoyed seeing PUSH, it never failed to draw a crowd and entertain. Evidently that's not enough for the bean counters at WDW these days.

They probably don't want PUSH interacting with guests on a random basis. He isn't connected to the magic bands thus making the experience unimportant to some.

Tomorrowland is a dead zone that needs all the help it can get from entertainment

Orlando Attractions Magazine heard from cast members it may be PUSH's last day on Saturday.

Anyone know if this is true?

I have no knowledge on the subject.

What I do know is that this is the time of year when Equity performer's are generally renewed.

Looks like ops is finally realizing how much more FOF is going to cost to run.

Look for the first FOF cuts around Memorial Day

FOF? Fantasy of Flight?

FOF? Fantasy of Flight?

Festival of Fantasy. Additions in entertainment somewhere have to be offset with a cut somewhere else

The converse is not necessarily true

 

[Minthorne]

PUSH is probably going to be a Meet & Greet.

I'm not sure how equity works in with entertainment budgets, whether its property wide or park specific.
