Recently, the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra announced that it would be playing its last shows on October 3rd in Disney World.
The Disney Society Orchestra and Friends
After the show was halted at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, members of the orchestra were moved over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to perform as the Disney Society Orchestra, with characters making an appearance during their set list.
However, today’s the day that the orchestra played its last tunes together at the Theater of the Stars for fans to enjoy. Since we’ve grown to love them over the 32 years, we made sure to listen to the music and experience the magic of the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra one last time.

We settled in for an amazing show, since the Grand Floridian Orchestra plays with such expertise and ease at the same time.

We jammed out to the Cantina Band’s song from Star Wars (dancing in our seats, of course)…

…thought about how our trips wouldn’t have been the same without the Grand Floridian Orchestra playing hits like “If I Didn’t Have You”…

…and got emotional during “Muppet Show Theme Song.” It might be the last time the orchestra will “play the music” and “light the lights” in Disney World, but our memories with them will last us a lifetime.

The Grand Floridian Society Orchestra finished their set and let all their listeners know that they’ve loved playing for them for so long. And, we are so thankful for each song we’ve gotten to hear over the years. Thank you for the magic, friends!

This, Yee Haw Bob, Push, Devine and free bread service. all gone now.😢 with prices going up, up, up and these Disney extras disappearing I wonder how long it will be until people say enough is enough!
The reason Walt Disney and Disneyland/Walt Disney World was so successful was His desire to create a clean safe place for the he WHOLE family. It is suppose to be a place to enjoy your time together and without these oh so loved extra characters you lose a little bit of that magic. It just breaks my heart. Those who were working hard all these years to make the magic, the magic losing .Ł. bigwigs that won’t lose their higher paying job. I’
Wow, this is one of those cuts that Disney thinks won’t make a difference, but it will. No club level and no musicians means no real incentive to pay the higher, main building room fees. It was about ambience for those who were willing to pay. Bad move.
yes as an annual pass holder who recently gave up status, it was based on Covid19, no parades no meet and greets, no fireworks NO YEE HAW BOB as a senior citizen I and my wife are way past. the wild ride phase but we love going for the above factors plus our grandchild. But now all the fun seems to be disappearing except the prices are going up IDONT THINK WALT would APPROVE.
Sorry, I’ve never heard of them? Who are they and where did they play? Sorry I missed them now that they are leaving for good. 🙁
WE SHOULD BE BACKING UP DISNEY EMPLOYEES WHO WILL BE FIRED BY NOT GOING TO DISNEY PARKS!
