[Festival Disney]

Quote from Disney Gazette:
...we note at Disneyland Park, the arrival of musicians these days at the entrance to Adventureland and restaurant Agrabah Café to delve even deeper into the atmosphere:

Very pleasing news  :thumbs:

[Soap]

Wow, nice small compensation of the lack of big live entertainment this season(s).... :thumbs:

[davewasbaloo]

Awesome, now this is something to get excited about!

[dagobert]

Great news! I remember that we have seen some African drum players in Adventureland a few years ago. Are they still around? I think it was in 2006, but I'm not sure.

[RnRCj]

More of this please DLP! [-o<

[dagobert]

Now it only needs new great stage shows in the Chapparal Theatre and in Videopolis and I'm happy with the entertainment.

Great news! I remember that we have seen some African drum players in Adventureland a few years ago. Are they still around? I think it was in 2006, but I'm not sure.

Of course, they perform on the Videopolis stage and on the Lion King float in Once upon a Dream Parade.  They've been around since opening day.  

[dagobert]

Thanks Kristof! Are they playing there everyday or just when the weather is bad?

[davewasbaloo]

Dagobert, I believe they have two days a week off. But they are on 5 days a week every day (though I wish they were where they belonged rather than having this tenuous link of Videopolis being a place to set off on a round the world voyage).

[dagobert]

I remember them playing in front of the Hakuna Matata restaurant. They definately fit better into Adventureland rather than Discoveryland.

Is Videopolis still playing old Disney cartoons?

[davewasbaloo]

Yep, it is.

I agree, the Hakuna Matata location was perfect (or indeed they would play in Col Hathi's when wet and cold).

Here is a reminder of a less serious DWB with the Tam Tams:

And a lot more wild:

rofl DWB! Love it! I've never seen any of the street performers at DLP I feel deprived lol! Then again this comes from a girl thats been 5 times and hasnt seen Cinemagique :lol: Smurfys promised he'll drag me to see it

[davewasbaloo]

You must see Cinemagique, but be sure to take your hankies. At the original DL and indeed at WDW to a lesser extent, it is this sort of entertainment that makes a large part of the Disney difference. The more we see of it in DLP, the happier I get

[PetiteSirene]

I remember seeing the street performers in what was then MGM and Animal Kingdom but I've never seen them in DLP. Then again I am never there during peak times so that might have something to do with it. Then again were were off peak in WDW. Having said that WDW has a better financial standing then DLP :lol:

Am considering a trip to DL in a few years, gotta save a bit first .

When I went in July, they were advertised as performing in Videopolis, but guess where I saw the african drummers? In Adventureland where they belong! I think it was outside Hakuna Matata, but i can never rememebr all of the restaurants in Adventureland.
