A new posting on the Disney Careers site is recruiting character performers for unnamed upcoming Walt Disney World experiences.

Interestingly, all of the characters are males and include Shang from Mulan, Prince Naveen, Aladdin, Flynn Rider, Prince Charming, and Snow White Prince.

The roles require full-time availability, and successful applicants will be used for "potential future opportunities and special events."

It isn't clear if these characters will be used together as a group for a new experience, or if they are being added to the pool of available characters to be used as required at special events etc.

We need more Mary Poppins! She's been missing a lot in Fantasmic! for the past couple nights!!

In Disney canon, how big is the bore of a Disney cannon?

My money is on Fantasmic, but I could also see them hoping to get the Boardwalk breakfast (whose name escapes me) up and running again.

I would bet the Boardwalk breakfast may be attempting a reboot.

Since they don't seem to want to develop their own limited experiences like that anymore, they could just convert it to a Litwak's Family Fun Center & Arcade. (that's basically what it was for the second half of its life, right?) Add a couple Fix-it-Felix Jr. cabinets, sell some crappy pizza and call it a day. They've even already got the signs covered with a movie tie-in for when cabinets go down and don't work right for weeks and-or months at a time.

Indeed. Last years call sheet was just the two months before supposed Feb debut of Fantasmic! before it hit all it's problematic delays.

Shang Is in Fantasmic now so I’d suspect that’s what all of these are for

I thought they had entered a licensing partnership with Amazon Prime

Looks like staffing for some sort of special event. Maybe Valentine's Day?

Maybe trying to bring back characters for TAF breakfast with the last one?

They're back...

I think a venue like that could work, but I'd lean into the smaller / more intimate experiences like The VOID / VR and/or Escape Rooms.
