Just checked the calendar. June 16th is the last day of operation.

Not 100% sure but I think June 16 is the last day, that’s Saturday and would coincide with being the last day of that schedule.

Is June 16th the last day or is June 15th the last day?

That's what it seems like. It's what they seem to do. You'll notice in the past characters get swapped, entertainment gets cut so the budget can go elsewhere. I wish they'd stop doing that. Cutting one for another. I get it, they only have so much budget to go around but I mean, these parks have to be raking in money. I know it doesn't quite work like that but still ... entertainment is already lacking in the parks, IMHO. AK was pretty good but now we're losing quite a bit it seems. Didn't we lose two other acts recently?

This weekend.

That's disappointing... when does Donalds Dino Bash start? Is the 'disco' budget moving over there?

Interesting. :oops:

mm52200May 23, 2018

Yes that is correct!

Discovery Island Carnivale?

Also haven’t seen this reported elsewhere but the show is closing June 16.

Yep the budget is moving over there.

cjkeatingMay 07, 2018

That makes sense.

I'm glad we saw them while we did; my niece loves riding the ride at epcot, and being a toddler is familiar with them from their cameo on MMCH. We got pictures of her "dancing" with them when we were there a couple weeks ago, and surprisingly some came out well enough to print!
