Hi

As a parent of one of the cast members.

This is very disturbing news. We hope that this gets resolved quickly as that's not what the cast are there for.

They signed up to entertain .

Not be put in a impossible position. :cry:

Small update:

@InsideDLParis reports that although Disney's Stars 'n' Cars has so far been cancelled, Animagique has been showing today and the Inventions buffet does still have characters present. You could also still see Mickey and the gang in puppet form at Playhouse Disney.

It must be awful for them. I will be devastated and my holiday will be ruined if this isn't resolved before next week, but I wouldn't dream of blaming the Cast Members. You just wouldn't sign up to that sort of job if you weren't committed to providing a magical experience for the guests. Last time we were out there it was January and freezing. The princesses were turning blue! You'd only put yourself through that for the love of it!

Todays animagique show at 3pm was cancelled. The theatre was full to brimming, then at 2:59, all exits were opened and an automated message said "due to unforseen circumstances, todays show is cancelled". Then everyone had to leave..
I cant help thinking it could be handled a little better. Cast who have no connection to the entertainment department are being screamed at by angry guests at something beyond their control. Not that I dont appreciate the matter is serious for the parade cast. Really hope everything is sorted soon its a little intense and the magic is swiftly fleeing!!!!

Hopefully this will make DLP management wake up. This what happens when you let problems fester. :roll:

I am glad it has been resolved. However the wonderful CM's should not of had to strike to make managment sort out the horrible situation. Management should have sorted it out quickly after the first incident. My minnie ears go off to the wonderful CM's who make the parks what they are. You do an amazing job, keep up the good work.
