Okay so apparently it’s just The Evil Queen being cut. Gaston and Cruella stay.

The best of the 3 is being cut? Makes sense

That viral Evil Queen also plays Maleficent and Lady Tremaine.

Any news if those characters are also being cut? I recall that there's videos of Maleficent hinting at leaving too.

Also if Lady Tremaine leaves, Anastasia & Drizella must be too?

I believe those characters aren’t daily (or weekly), and were already seasonal at Disneyland? (Not sure about Lady Tremaine’s past status?)

From what I understand, the regular villains will now just be Cruella and Gaston.

So as I suspected there was more to this story.....

From what I've read online one of the reasons being posted is that the character has become too viral and is being hounded by vloggers around the Park constantly shoving a camera in her face. So in order to keep guest safety a priority and not have hoards of vloggers hounding a specific character limiting guest access, they are putting a "pause" on her for awhile. I believe Jack Sparrow also had this done for awhile too back a number of years ago.

Once things die down a bit I suspect she'll be back in rotation just like Jack is.

Starting to be picked up by larger accounts.

The story is getting attention in non-fan spaces as well. DL has to know this is not a popular move.

Cracking down on vloggers who negatively impact the guest experience would be a good start.

Start with a warning, then a 30-day ban, followed by a permanent ban.

Vloggers do provide free promotion for Disneyland, but they need to be reigned in, notably the live bloggers on rides.
