Time to say farewell to three long-standing acts at Epcot

Today marks the end of three Epcot acts in World Showcase.

The British Revolution finish over 11,000 performances tonight.

And Sergio also finishes today.

I’m beyond sad right now. :cry:

Who knows if this is for ever or temporary. The British Revolution contract was up in May / June anyway and they expected to be terminated because of the Mary Poppins attraction.

I worry for the likes of the Citizens of Hollywood too. Although they are DIsney employees I think so maybe safer from the axe for now.

Why is this happening?

Because the parks are closed, so no need for the entertainment.

I’m sure there will be a lot more lay-offs to come, sadly.

The reports seemed to suggest that these are permanent steps?

Sergio’s Facebook full of farewell posts is soooo heartbreaking

Yes, because they’re contracted, they’re not employees. So contract terminated early.

Over a two week closure? Odd choice.

It’s probably not going to be 2 weeks though is it. Hopefully they will be signed up again when the parks reopen.

Well, that’s my point.

It’s going to be months.

Yep.
