It’s beginning to not look a lot like Christmas at Disney World...

I’m really surprised (and disappointed) by Disney’s choosing to forego the castle lights this year. They make the castle so beautiful, and so special for Christmastime. I hope they return next year!!!

Entertainment is getting slashed across the board. I have some more friends who have been laid off. What a terrible time.

[blackcauldron85]

Yeah, I just read that Hoop-De-Doo, Festival of the Lion King, Monsters Inc Laugh Factory, and the Citizens @ DHS are all getting laid off. My heart goes out to all the cast members and their families who need those paychecks.

That sounds good to me. I love the attraction, & as long as it is funny, I think I will be happy!

And in case you were wondering what I was wondering:
Jungle Cruise Makeover Will Not Feature Any Movie Characters or Tie-Ins

^Good. That would have cheapened it.

Looks promising!

The Disney College Program Is Returning to Walt Disney World This June

[UmbrellaFish]

I’m so excited!!! I’m eager to see how many of my friends whose programs were either cut short or cancelled choose to return. I’m sure the International programs are later down the pipeline, probably on a country by country basis.

[blackcauldron85]

I had you and your friends in mind when I posted that!

I saw this!! It made me smile that the President of WDW was on hand to show just how important the DCP is to the company. <3

I think it's great that he was there, too!

The fact that Disney cut Zip A Dee Doo Dah and When I See An Elephant Fly from the Festival of Fantasy Parade yesterday made national headlines. Disney is WOKE, baby!
