The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

Thinking about this....

Are we sure this is not just an overreaction to a video? In my opinion this appears to be an attempt at trying to make a viral video by a vlogger. I mean this video claims "they are leaving at the end of the month". But what also ends at the end of the month? OBB, which is when all the villains go back into "hiding" for the year. That is a pretty far leap to Disney cutting all villains permanently.

So what am I missing here?

Hard to know exactly, but what it sounds like to me is that she is being let go (is she just too viral on social media now)?

I know she is friends with both the Evil Queen and Maleficent. But there is another Evil Queen and Maleficent that is also fairly popular.

They are usually the villains who are still in the park daily, so it either means certain long term actors are being removed, or certain villains will not be in the parks daily anymore.

I guess we'll have to see next month, my guess is this is just an overreaction.

In addition with Villains Land coming to MK soon I can't imagine Disney completely removing some or all villains from the Parks.

Don't forget Disneyland has that new union contract to contend with, they've been punishing us all in regards to entertainment and performers since.

The Evil Queen and Maleficient were together and literally alluding to this very thing in front of me and many others last week.

I certainly wasn't trying to make a viral video (though I suppose I wasn't really paying much attention to whether or not the people around me were filming or not).

It seemed that they were about as clear as they could be, and assuming that meaning is correct, the audience understood.

And yet they have a new show they are casting for right now. So again I think that is an overreaction.

Disney giveth and taketh away.

New show = cut performers elsewhere.

Bring back Paint the Night = cut the daytime parade.

Run certain seasonal shows only Monday-Thursday, or Friday-Sunday. Never daily like it once was.

The cuts to entertainment have been clear, this is what they do now.

As I said we'll see next month if it happens. And if it does happen, that sucks for those CMs effected. But I doubt its the end of villains completely at DLR. They'll still be around in some form is my bet. Maybe not as frequent as before or with the same CMs, but the regulars will still be there.

As the saying goes, sometimes for something new to begin something else has to end. 🤷‍♂️ Hopefully this is all just shuffling things around.

I didn't ever say it was the end of villains ever at DLR, simply that these performers-and good ones at that-appear to be getting laid off.

Except that is what this whole exchange was about though, the claim that its end of villains at DLR. If that isn't what you were talking about you didn't make it clear, especially given the post you were replying to.
