[andyman8]

In other news GF-related news, water taxis are now available to transport Guests between GF and MK. The service is “limited.” So now water launches have returned to WL and GF.

We’ll get back to normal, but there will be more awareness. And that’s what will last the longest. Social distancing and masks will go away, whenever that may be, but that doesn’t mean everyone will ditch their mask and stand close enough to smell what a stranger ate for lunch the day those things are lifted. No one will forget what we lived through this year, and however long we deal with it, but like with everything else, there will come a time when people allow themselves to get comfortable in situations where they currently aren’t.

I agree that we’ll get beyond masks and enforced distancing. I don’t know how long it will take people to get to the point where they’re ok with packing in to a queue in a theme park or on to a cruise ship.

I'm so sad about the GF Orchestra, every one of these cuts hurt because they are what makes Disney different and an all around entertainment destination. For me it all started when they cut 4 for a Dollar at the Theater of the Stars, from then on every CoH, Hollywood Public Works, that's been cut, Mulch Sweat and Shears, Burudika, obviously British Revolution was a huge hit. So many great performers that came to the area because Disney was the Mecca of entertainment, a friend, former CoH Francis Floot, calls Disney the golden handcuffs, you are pretty tied to them in all aspects, they expect a lot from you and then just as easily cut you off

I'm not surprised with them letting go the GF orchestra. Just remember back to when Bob said that CM's are the entertainment. The 2 Bobs have been cutting entertainment the last few years.
This has been what has been cut in the last 5-10 years.

DHS: - Daily Parade
- Mulch Sweat & Shears live band with equity host.
- double the cast of citizens of Hollywood
- Hollywood public works streetmosphere.

MK - night parade
- saxophone quartet
-pirate tutorial
-giggle gang & jugglers
- push trashcan
- banjo brothers & bob
- fantasyland historians
-Merlin show
- muppets history

DAK - daily parade
- band in Africa
- jugglers in dino land
- lucky the dino
- acrobats in Asia

Epcot -
- All entertainment in future world except for jammitors. From dreamfinder, jugglers in wonders of life, statues by fountain, muppet labs etc. there have been a number of past entertainment in future world.
- world showcase players (there used to be 2 casts, one in England, one in Italy).
- off kilter
- mo rockin
- Magician in pub
- Fife & drum
- candy art in Japan.

I'm really going to miss these guys.

I meant it as kindly as possible. As a member of the healthcare industry, I’ve learned to deal with much harsher Nurse Ratched types that mean no harm but don’t sugarcoat life. Honestly, it’s refreshing.

I'm not upset. I showed all the posts to Micky to see what he thought and we were smiling at your post because out of all our friends, I'm the nice, sweet one!
Reading here and the reactions I get, I'm starting to wonder whats wrong with my friends...

But thanks for honesty! I'll try to tone it down.

Hope to see everyone make it through in one piece on the other side of Covid!

lucky the dino

I wouldn’t count this. It was very short lived and more of an Imagineering test. This was not a long term entertainment option.

They would come out around storybook circus, it was a clown troupe

Thanks! We are starting our horror movie countdown to Halloween tonight and that would make a great name for a movie.

Ah how I miss Wowzer terrifying Guests every day at MK.

I just booked mine like 3 minutes ago

I said that & just checked the reservation system & it’s not booked anymore. I guess ppl might have cancelled, but I think they likely increased capacity.

I'm assuming you meant NOW available? I don't mean to be knit picky, I just want to confirm that they have started running the smaller water taxis, right?

Personally I thought that criticism of you was rather harsh. Just to try and give you a balanced perspective, I've always viewed you as one of the bright spots in these threads, quite often making me smile.
