Statue in Italy

[disney1077]

Does anyone know if they brought back the statue in Italy in the world showcase?
Thanks!

I'm not sure but that it a good question. I hope you find the answer. For some reason, I want to say that they haven't brought them back. Hope that helps.

All three were there last week. The two on top of the pillars in the front and the one in the fountain at the back. There may be others, but those are the three I recall.

Sorry, as I said, I didn't know. I'm glad that somebody else knew the answer.

Are you talking about the moving statues? I thought they disappeared for good. I always wanted to see them because I havent seen them in like 10 years.

Now those were definately not there. The live action entertainment is "Romeo and Edna".

Sorry, I think I should have been a little more specific. When I said the statue I meant the Lady who used to dress all in white and looked like a statue then took pictures with the guest and she would play jokes on them.
Thanks!

I couldnt remember if they were in france or italy. I thought they were in France but then were moved to Italy but now I think they are gone.

What is Romeo and Edna?

What is Romeo and Edna?

Its a little street skit put on by the World Showcase Players. There is a similar skit that is put on in England.

The last entertainment I saw in France was the guy who balanced the table and chairs.

They were such a joy to watch.

When did they get rid of them? When I was there in 2005 they were still there.

And why did they get rid of them?

There was some discussion about the statues leaving in this thread:

Doesn't France have mimes, or a mime? Or is that ancient history as well?

From what I recall, their contract was not renewed. SO basically it boiled down to the money.
