F! and WOC returning soon?

[julesann]

I want to return to DL when one or both of these are running. Do you know of any hints/rumors or specific timelines about when they will return.

Everything I am about to say is just speculation bus stuff, come aboard.

I don't think it's "soon." I have been looking at the Disney job board for jobs in Anaheim for clues, there are TONS of jobs open, no idea how it compares to pre-2020, but that can't be helping. I have even seen working at Club 33 listed WITH a hiring bonus.

Anyways, I started watching the job board because I figured even if they called back people, it would seem they have to hire at least some new dancers and production for Fantasmic, right?

The only job remotely interesting is "Manager-Costume Production and Sustainment; Disney Live Entertainment", but that probably also includes characters and possibly uniforms so, the short answer is, no, no hints that I can see.

I hope I am wrong though.

Someone posted a video on twitter last week that F! was running testing. You could see it from whatever hotel they were staying at.

I'm gonna guess by mid to late March. In time for spring break.

MSEP, I'm saying Memorial Day weekend.

WOC and F! haven indeed been testing components.

F! is hoping to start rehearsals mid Feb with a return late March/early April

WOC was slated to return prior to that but some refurb parts are still stuck in the supply chain bottleneck so they are now hoping for a spring break return of WOC as well.

Intel from a cast member friend that has literal hands on knowledge of making those happen, not just a front line worker and the rumor mill.

Thanks for all the guesses, intel, and speculation...much appreciated!

Any rumors on when Main Street Electrical Parade is coming back?

Didn't injure about that since F! and WOC intel was what I was after...plus with his position it would have likely been just speculation whereas he is one that would know those other two very closely.
