All shows cancelled & cast let go!

This is a huge blow , myself and my husband arent big ride people but love the shows . I have kept positive this year saying we will be ok for April but this has got me emailing about possibility of moving to 2022 . No fireworks , no parades , no character meets , no fastpasses , shows shut , no waterparks ( ok they say will open march but who knows ) , no early or late access , reduced park hours but no hopping but still ticket £439 . Just not worth it , have no benefits staying on site

I agree. We actually love the rides, but nevertheless don't feel the rides alone justify a repeat visit for us in the near future. Given the cost of tickets and onsite stay, our trip will sadly have to wait until (hopefully) Disney reinstate at least some of these elements.

One change I do like is seeing the characters round the parks again.



The random cavalcades and distanced interactions out in the open add so much more to the general atmosphere for everyone, compared to the meet & greets (often out of public sight) with their long waits.

The marching band have also been seen (and heard! ) randomly around MK - I don't know if they still are.

I hope some of these changes remain AND I hope lots of the live performers return to all the parks in old and new capacities.

The Disney parks were never supposed to be just a trot around between the wilder rides and were intended to thrill people of all ages - Walt was creating an environment for all ages and interests; so all aspects and details mattered.
