Disney Cancels Muppets and Other Entertainment in New Round of Budget Cuts

Published on

The end of the fiscal year is approaching and Disney is already making some entertainment cuts.

Some of the “cuts” I think are just the end of limited run events like Mickey’s Surprise Celebration, but some are sad like Liberty’s Square “Muppet Presents Great Moments in American History.”

Here’s a list of what’s leaving:

Muppets Present Great Moments in American History

This show debuted in 2016 and has been pretty popular.  It is scheduled to end on October 5th and was confirmed by a cast member.

This is a group of actors that roam around Fantasyland. The troupe includes Sir Sterling, Bridget, his neice, Tobias the squire and Lady Llewellyn. I’m sad about this. Lady Llewellyn and Tobias visited my daughter when she was getting her Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique make-over and she loved them.

This wasn’t open very long!  Located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios by Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy.  The dance party is leaving, but the Racing Academy will still be there.

This is part of the Incredibles area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This another one that I thought was already a limited time event, but it’s being listed as one of the cuts.

Those are the ones we know about currently.  Like I said some are a surprise and some I think might have intentionally been limited runs. I am really sad about the Muppets one though.

What do you think? Comment and let us know!
