EPCOT welcomed back several World Showcase entertainment acts on October 1 as the park continues its reopening from the pandemic shutdown.



 

The returning acts include Matsuriza at the Japan pavilion, Alberta Bound at the Canada pavilion, and Sergio at the Italy pavilion.

All three acts ended were halted in March 2020 as the impact of the pandemic began to be felt.

Did she say it loud enough, so that she sounds precocious?

Those jolly holidays are a booger to deal with...

He tried to sweep it away. But she took just the right step in time to prevent that.

I assume the complaint was about his dodgy accent? 😉

Mary Poppins filed a complaint against Bert with H.R. She tried telling him not to think of pressing his advantage, but he did.

We're the jugglers part of Cool Kid Summer in Animation Courtyard? I remember the skipping being there and magician but thought there was a juggler too, unless that was part of the magician act?

It’s sad that this is news worthy these days. Not that I’m ever against having more characters out. Mary and Bert don’t meet together? :rolleyes:

Oh I see it now…. Kinda looks like 3rd party tests like we saw at Epcot earlier this year? Since DHS had no entertainment other than the green army men drummers something is certainly better than nothing. This is a far cry from COH though!
