Don't they test shows every year?

I'm not sure if they would need to test the NYE show much? I don't think it's changed...

FITS NYE? I would think TDO would work on that before DE 2025.

Does anyone know what Disney was doing last night in terms of fireworks testing? At about 3:45 in the morning I was awoken by the sounds of a fireworks launch, closer to the ones that happened during the Castle show than anything else. I heard a few more over the next 5 minutes before finally getting back to sleep... Not exactly sure what it is about, maybe Enchanted testing for the parties in the new year?

I believe they are hired by different departments but they could potentially do both. Some of the former boardwalk jugglers performed at both the boardwalk and storybook circus for a while.

Actually I saw casting call for both. Hopefully more entertainment is coming. It really isnt that hard to cast for this because in some cases I know people who still live locally and have done those roles previously. C'mon Disney, let's do this!! Marie

Disney Springs has streetmosphere performers during the holidays....

That was my impression too. But it occurred to me they could also “fit” on the Boardwalk. Do entertainers ever do both I wonder?

I think those casting calls were for Epcot. And I also think that those who know more tend to believe those are slotted for spots around WSL.

Hopefully there’s a surprise or two but I guess we will see.

There have been casting calls for street entertainers - I assume in Epcot / Boardwalk. Not sure if the location was mentioned.

And we have no hints that entertainment we had or currently have is getting restored....

It's not that far away either.
