What is the best 'diversion' act among WDW's 4 parks?

[Damon7777]

A diversion is a secondary attraction, a lesser attraction that is commonly an act/performance open to all without traditional queuing whereby guests more often than not stumble upon while walking the parks like: China's acrobats, Main Street's Dapper Dans, Pandora's utility suit demonstration, Studio's 1930's street performers, Mexico's mariachi band, macaws in front of Tree of Life. There are many, many more--so which is the absolute best diversion performance?

**Please note parades, meet n greets, and water spitting plastic camels are not part of this exercise**

I would say Off Kilter, buuuuuut...

Anyway. The Citizens Of Hollywood for me. They’re always entertaining and really know how to work the crowd.
It’s especially fun when the “director” and “producer” decide to stage a scene to be acted out by the park guests.

Here are my least favorite:
5) those gong bangers at Japan
4) the Beatles imitators in UK
3) Mexico's mariachi
2) Casey Corner piano playing


And the worst diversion goes to the Capt. Jack nonsense near Pirates of Caribbean

Thanks for supplying the right name "Citizens of Hollywood"........ya, they're quite good. I really appreciate the costuming too.

Our favorite is The JAMMitors at Epcot. Try to catch them every visit to Epcot.

The animation academy in DHS. Oh wait. Well when the animation academy returns one day before I kick the bucket it will again be my clear favorite.

Voices of Liberty is high quality and so is Jedi training for the youngens

Can't go wrong with jammitors, well worth the time

I'm not a huge mariachi fan, but I enjoy all the rest of these.

Voices of Liberty, Jammitors, and the Main Street Philharmonic get my votes as my favorites.

 

[Damon7777]

The absolute coolest diversion at WDW is actually silent. Yes, as in the act has no real sound or noise. No, not the Showcase mimes or painters, nothing like that.

Back when Pleasure Island existed, there were these performers that were decked out in green/blue costumes with crazy wigs, and were on jumping stilts performing tricks like flips and dancing. It was awesome.

Edit: And I so missed the part about this being the 4 parks. Oops.

I'm a sucker for the Dapper Dans. We even watch them on youtube!

 

[danyoung56]

I never miss the incredible Voices of Liberty!

 

[Weather_Lady]

My personal favorites are Voices of Liberty (Epcot, America pavilion) and the Muppets "Great Moments in History" shows (MK, Liberty Square).

 

[Mickey5150]

My favorite diversion is Serveur Amusant in France. Grab a glass of wine and enjoy the show.

What?!!?
No love for Divine!

Divine(or is it Divina?) is straight up mesmerizing; that vine lady in Oasis arrests me everytime. I just can not get away.

She camouflages with the lush vegetation then appears and starts her slow motion walk.

My daughter absolutely loved this. If you don't have a kid that would want to participate, I would definitely pass but...... when your kid get told by THE Captain Jack Sparrow that she is a pirate apprentice, you can appreciate this type of diversion.


Also love the JAMMitors. They came out when we were waiting for rope drop at Epcot. So cool!

 

[Coaster Lover]

The two trails in general are FANTASTIC diversions at Animal Kingdom, but especially the gorillas along the Pangani Forest Exploration Trail. They are so memorizing to just sit and watch.

 

[correcaminos]

JAMMinators and the Matsuriza are my favorites.

Futureworld Brass? Kids of the Kingdom?

No? Okay, Main St Philharmonic.
