Minnie Mouse is on the move at EPCOT, as her time meeting guests at the front of the park near to Spaceship Earth comes to a close.

Beginning Sunday January 2 2022, you will be able to meet Minnie Mouse at the gazebo in World Showcase Plaza near to the Mexico pavilion.

The gazebo was originally built as a home for Duffy the Disney Bear

Since the park reopened from the COVID shutdown, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse originally appeared in a cavalcade, and then later moved to the main entrance beneath Spaceship Earth.

Mickey Mouse made the move to the Imagination pavilion in late 2021, leaving Minnie, Goofy and Pluto at the front of the park.

There have been casting calls for street entertainers - I assume in Epcot / Boardwalk. Not sure if the location was mentioned.

And we have no hints that entertainment we had or currently have is getting restored....

It's not that far away either.

2 of the former Boardwalk / Storybook Circus Jugglers are performing for the holidays at Disneys Hollywood Studios - great to see them back and hopefully they keep them on.

I mean we kept hearing 2025 was the year of entertainment at WDW. So far, we got Starlight and two new shows (Mermaid at DHS and Villains) at DHS. Is the new shows at DHS meant to help with capacity gain/losses during Muppets or Disney Jr. Dance closure? Dreams that Soar was wildly popular but was such a operations nightmare, I'd be surprised it returns at Disney Springs in 2025. Epcot and AK have what coming? Either way, not a ton of entertainment for my taste like they have been teasing. Not yet.

Bummer- I kinda felt like the acts were cut to make budget room for the Star Wars hotel gigs… and so my hopes were that when that starship “crashed”, possibly the funding might come back… Those acts really helped to set the parks above others.

I haven’t been around these parts in forever- so forgive me for not going too far back to see… has there been any movement to bring back ANY of the Citizens of Hollywood?

Well I do go over there to see some of my musician friends if they are playing over there and House of Blues is a nice dining option. So sometimes for me. Marie

I just don’t understand why they expanded it so much with more of the same. They could have taken some of the expanded space and built some clubs. I don’t even go to West Side…and the 7 Christmas trees placed there (and drone viewing in the summer) tell me I’m not alone.
