holidays around the world storytelling

[margot31]

I heard a rumor some of the storytelling has been changed up. Anyone have any insight on this?

Also does anyone have the2017 schedule for storytelling. I found one but not sure if it's for this year.

The schedule is up on mde and the wdw site
They took away Helga and the nutcracker from Germany, the Hanukkah and Kwanzaa from American adventure.
There's a new band between Morocco and France called Mostly Kosher
All the rest are the same as last year

In Norway, they didn't mention leaving a beer for Santa. That may not be new this year but beer was mentioned the last time I saw the show in 2013.

Didn't they also remove the storyteller in Morocco as well?

Oh... no more Hanukkah and Kwanzaa storytellers? Do they still acknowledge these holidays in some other way at the American pavilion?

That is the rumor I heard which breaks my heart. I so wanted to hear those again. Plus its MIL's first trip.

Thank you! That answers my question. There's a "Mostly Kosher" indie band between Morocco and France and I expect the Voices of Liberty will include some Hanukkah songs between the 12th and the 20th, the way they usually do. But there's nothing to mark Kwanzaa. Which is a bit of a pity, I think, because it's a uniquely American holiday. On the other hand, maybe it's not such a big thing any more, the way it was back in the 80's and 90's. If hardly anyone still celebrates it, then it's understandable Disney wouldn't need to continue having a storyteller talk about it.

Gosh, that schedule makes me wish I was at Disney now!

Last time we went they had a Gospel group on the Fountain View Stage.

I was there the first day and happened to catch the first show of Mostly Kosher,I enjoyed it and would stop for it again.

Joyful is the gospel group

But apparently now they'll be singing more than just Gospel?
