Park Entertainment Cuts Have Been Confirmed

d&^m - I was looking forward to the Muppets

It truly bothers me how they announce price increases one day and cuts the next. Almost $100 a person for a dessert party is beyond ridiculous.

The Muppets are real!

Of course they are! Who would think otherwise?

(along with cancellation of Muppets show for Disney+ streaming)

When did that happen?

I will miss the Great Moments in History show....but mostly the American parts.

Saw the Muppets yesterday.

As I've said in the past Muppets doesn't have enough of a following anymore. Disney also plans to replace the Muppets section in Hollywood Studios with Monsters Inc as well.

I heard that there's still another Muppets D+ show in the works, but it's not very far along in the planning process.

I'm really disappointed to hear they are canceling the Muppets show. I only caught a bit of it on my last trip and told myself I'd get to see it next time I was down. It seems a bit odd to make these cuts when you have raised prices and are struggling to get as many visitors as you had hoped.

That makes me SO sad. My kids are obsessed with the muppets (both ‘old muppets’ as they call them and muppet babies).

But yes, it’s real people. I mean, there’s some animateonic at Muppets 3D over at Hollywood but not the MK show. If you hang out inside the ticketing office you’ll notice people in black going up and down the stairs.

Didn't know that, thanks!

So sad to see Disney cut the positions that make WDW unique. It's those special things, like the actors around HS, DiVine, the animation classes, etc, that make the repeat visitors keep coming IMO. They're nickel and dime-ing the stuff that makes Disney awesome.

I really hope that is not true! I love the Muppets.
And "not enough of a following"? I think I have to disagree. I often have Fozzie Bear as a backpack with me when visiting the parks and there are hardly 10 minutes without someone mention him - "Wocka Wocka", "I love your backpack", "Oh look, it's Fozzie Bear", "Can we took a picture with Fozzie" and so one - and this includes visitors of all ages as well as castmembers.

Is that the Muppets 3D show that's been there for years? Bummer

Absolutely spot-on. Otherwise, what sets them apart from other parks?

Very sad about this. I was looking forward to seeing Great Moments in History in November!

No this is a show in MK featuring the actual Muppets.

 

[SaintsManiac]

I love the show, but I rarely see a large crowd watching it.

It is a shame that some of my favorite live entertainment has been chiseled away through the years. The rock band at HS... several streetmosphere performers... the dude who played the electric harp at AK... the Sword in the Stone street show with Merlin at MK... etc. There have been some replacements in some but all cases, but most not been as good as the acts they replaced

Probably because it’s not emphasised on the park schedule. Unless you happen upon it whilst it’s on, it’s not that easy to find out details.

True, but people don't stop and watch for the most part. That is what I meant.
