No whistle. No problem!!

Too bad he doesn't have glasses otherwise I could claim I just found waldo.

Did he ever perform at the Boardwalk previously?

Well, OK.. it’s a juggler. At least it’s some form of entertainment. But I wish Disney would give us some other form of entertainment that would please guests. How about getting something more original that isn’t just a remake of what we had before.

↩ replying to JIMINYCROr bring back what we had before which fit the park and didn’t feel temporary or forced.

↩ replying to Biff215I would like to see CoH return. They were very entertaining and interactive with guests but Dis is very budget conscious right now and I doubt they are likely to pay for their return.

Lots of upping in streetmosphere entertainment recently...
But I still say... "Not my Citizens of Hollywood!"

As long as they do not give the juggler a whistle, I'm fine with it.

↩ replying to Biff215I can see a juggler downtown pretty much any sunny weekend. (And often people I don't want to see, juggling things they shouldn't be) Likely, they're better than this guy, though I wish him no ill will. Performers like the Citizens are emblematic of that pesky ol' phrase "The Disney difference" not that they pay much deference to the difference anymore.

↩ replying to dlfan1313Citizens of Hollywood were also actors equity members - a huge factor here

↩ replying to mastromjmI think I get what you're saying, but I'm pretty sure the largest entertainment company in the world can afford it.

↩ replying to dlfan1313It’s not a question of affording the pay out for it. It’s how they see a return on their money. Paying multiple performers the pay scale thats required on a daily basis throughout the year adds up and it doesnt make them money in return. As opposed to the build of an attraction which interests/ drives guest to be booking trips. People dont book trips to see CoH actors.

↩ replying to JIMINYCRHumans, despite our best efforts, are still by and large humans. Our decision making processes cannot be tracked via financial spreadsheets. There’s obvious truth in what you’re saying but that doesn’t negate the subconscious cues that might prompt a fond memory and create a desire to come back. Spreadsheets, ROI, et al are rational. People are not. Just because a causation can’t be traced through rational means doesn’t make it insignificant. “Everything counts in large amounts” That’s from the Western Expansion Act.
