I saw this on some other sites - such fabulous news. Epcot was not the same without them.

 

[gharter]

That is very good news

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Not all of them at once - first ones to return will be UK, Canada, Germany, Norway, France and Italy. Probably going to take a lot longer for China or Japan.

Will Morocco and Mexico be in the first wave?

Thanks.

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Apparently not. Only the listed countries were said to be in the first wave. They're all in Europe (except Canada).

Slowly but surely, life returns!

 

[tinkerhon]

This made me so happy !!!!

 

[loves to dive]

I'm so glad, I've missed them. I would doubt if Morocco would even have any since Disney took over that pavilion but it sure would be nice.

Hurray!

Good news!

wait! is this the wait staff and shop workers in Epcot WS or the performing acts? I haven't been to Disney since pre covid. If we go to the Biergarten are we getting Barb from Lake Buena Vista and not a German national?

It’s the wait staff and shop workers, the ones who were on time-limited visas before the pandemic. The Biergarten Musikanten are not part of that program, no change there.

And also in addition to Restaurant and Shop Cast,I am assuming the Attractions Cast in Mexico and Norway and France will return to being Cultural Representatives.

All the "Barbs from LBV" will be returning to their original roles I would think.

What accent are you most looking forward to hearing wafting through the World Showcase air once again?

no offense to the Barbs of the world. My mom was a Barb. That's disappointing for our Easter trip, talking to the young people from all over the world is one of our favorite parts of the world showcase!

Well, it won't be the same this easter but the Germans always have fun with us because my husband has a very German last name. I enjoy talking with the French, especially if they're from the same area as my family. It's crazy to me how tall the Norwegians are, had I known that in my 20's I would have gone there! We usually get park hoppers and eat every night in the world showcase. We didn't do that this time and only plan to spend a day in Epcot so I'm a little less sad knowing there won't be any cultural representatives there. Irish is my favorite accent hands down! How about you?

My favorite accent is in the UK Pavilion as well,but it is the "Mary Poppins accent" from some of the England Cast!

I can't get enough of it-I always make them say "water" and they are so nice and always "humor" me!lol

Now when talking to the Cast from Scotland,I just stand there and nod because I never know what they are saying!lol

I get a little teary-eyed almost when thinking about their return.

I am always amazed that they give a YEAR of their life to Walt Disney World-some of them never having been to the US before their Program and some of them as young as EIGHTEEN!

World Showcase is the most AMAZING and UNIQUE place in ANY Theme Park in the World IMO and the Cultural Representatives ARE World Showcase!

For me,it is a HUGE,possibly the biggest, milestone in the reopen of Walt Disney World as we welcome back the Accents,Costumes,Cultures,Energy,Excitement,Dedication and just plain FUN of the World Showcase Cultural Representatives!
