What is up with the totally anachronistic DJ/singalong in Town Square at MK closing? So wrong for MK

[iheartglaciers]

I guess this is cheaper than putting the characters out there. Jeez...This is a new low in just how far they'll go to save a buck. I've seen better at a local carnival.

The strange thing is that it's not necessary. If it was too expensive to have characters there, they could just have no one there.

The saddest part is that even if this went away tomorrow from all the poor feedback, the people in charge thought this was acceptable.

Just read on Facebook that they pulled him tonight, at least temporarily.

 

[Jennasis]

Some reason they can't stick with CM's in the oversized Mickey gloves pointing towards the exit?

*glares at competition parks across the country*

This...this isn't magical

ETA: link not working. A Disney blog just updated that the DJ was setting up for the evening and was pulled before he started, at the last minute.

 

[brockash]

It’s unreal how lost this company has become in such a short amount of time

My thoughts exactly...whoever came up with that idea and anyone who okd it should be fired on the spot. They do NOT belong at Disney.

 

[katyringo]

I agree that is very un Disney.
But I also kinda feel bad for the DJ. He probably thought it was the gig of a lifetime.. poor guy.

 

[Violet Parr]

I'm sure he's a great DJ but just so not a fit. Sitting around in ultra casual clothes, staring at his laptop with his DJ sticker on the back. There was absolutely nothing Disney about that at all.

 

[VandVsmama]

Super lame. He looks like he's dressed as a regular park guest...almost like they gave some random dude on Main Street the microphone and said, "Hey, wanna do karaoke night on Main Street?"

 

[maccagerl]

So is this so they can sell earplugs at $ 50 a pair?

I agree that is very un Disney.

I agree... It looks bad but I feel bad for the guy. Hopefully, he can DJ at their private events

 

[The Iron Giant]

It’s a shame they pulled him before he got to bring out the t-shirt cannon!

 

[MakiraMarlena]

Maybe Disney Springs or even Studios, but not MK. Definitely not MK

 

[cjhinch]

I seriously hope this "experiment" has ended! Please let me just exit MK, hearing the Main Street Songs and walk out of the gates feeling that "Disney feeling" If I want a DJ dance party, I will go to Disney Springs! LOL

That is exactly what makes this not funny at all.

 

[Disneylover99]

That would grate on my nerves on the way out.

 

[Stargazer65]

There was this time we got stuck right in front of the station for about 20 minutes while the rain poured down on us. The DJ would have been the coup de grâce that night:

This looks like what you get if you hire "Disney World entertainment" on Wish.

Pretty soon Disney will be bringing in those crazy character people in Times Square that try to take your money if you snap a picture within 8 miles of them.

 

[emily nicole]

WOW.
So this has been stopped, at least temporarily. I hope they make that permanent.
What a terrible way to end your magical night at MK.
No offense to the guy, it just doesn't belong at the MK at all.

Whoever came up with this idea needs to answer for their crimes. LOL
