Just over a month out, and if wdwent has posted the entertainment, then for the life of me, I don't understand why Disney has not.
Right on the heals of the Star Wars Weekend off/on/off fiasco, too...Way to go We re-booked from May (SWW cancelled) to March for F&G plan B, and with our dining and FP's planned out, we are flying blind on the reason we switched to March. Ridiculous.

I hate to say it, but I think this is it for us for a few years. It literally hurts to be critical of a place that brought our family so much joy since we first took our eldest son there in 1997, and every year or two since.

I booked my flights and room for March 4-6 to see The Orchestra. I hope these dates are correct.

They are confirmed

 

[FRANKTSJR]

They are confirmed

Thanks

It is normal for the menus and schedules not to be out yet. It's a bit late for the concerts. There are still 3 weekends that we don't know the act that will be performing.

Disney finally released the schedule. http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...the-2016-epcot-international-flower-festival/

Blech! Darlene Love?? Really? What a waste. Seriously, Universal gets actual current talent for their concerts and we get...a Ronette.

Looks like our focus will be the food.

Well, she is in the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame.

I said current talent lol. Heck, I'd take even a little relevant...or last 20 years?

I'm betting this is why it took so long to solidify the schedule. They had to scrape way into the bottom of the barrel.

 

[Chelley00]

We get Georgia Satellites or Gin Blossoms on our trip. That's quite the range.

 

[Starshine]

I was so hoping for Micky Dolenz.

 

[CastawayCayLover]

Gin Blossoms were good last year. Not much of a "show" but the music was great and the vocals were fantastic.

From what I understand, Mickey Dolenz was not well received the year he took over when Davey Jones passed away, didn't surprise me that he hasn't been invited back.

 

[MakiraMarlena]

I wouldn't know any current talent but I am not interested in Darlene Love.

We enjoyed his performance and that of his sister.

 

[Mark P.]

We lucked out with ELO. Finally, something going right.

 

[CastawayCayLover]

We enjoyed his performance and that of his sister.

I'm glad you did Tess, I didn't see any of his shows, was only basing my post on what I had heard. I've always enjoyed the Monkees music, I was disappointed that they weren't a part of the program any more.

We're going to see Bad Company, not my first choice but not bad, either! My DH and I were just saying that we've enjoyed some concerts of bands we wouldn't have expected to like ahead of time. There's something about the atmosphere of hearing live music, being at Epcot, etc. I think it's worth giving a band a chance if you happen to be there anyway.
