Disney Refuses To Bring Back This Hollywood Studios Tradition but This New Addition Is Close Enough, Right?

While change is an inevitable part of Disney World, there will always be some things we mourn forever.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney World changed A LOT after the COVID pandemic, and even more than four years later, there are still some things that haven’t returned. One of our most beloved Disney’s Hollywood Studios traditions is still missing from the park, and we haven’t forgotten about them!

The Citizens of Hollywood were a group of swanky individuals that waltzed down Sunset Boulevard. They brought their own unique brand of comedic entertainment and frequently brought guests into their shows. When you saw The Citizens of Hollywood walking down the street, you KNEW you were in for some laughs! We have only seen these performers cheering on runDisney participants since the pandemic, and we miss them dearly.

However, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has added some special live entertainment for the holidays, and while they are most definitely not the Citizens of Hollywood, we are happy to see some more streetmosphere shows returning to Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Studios is featuring THREE different live entertainment acts for the holidays through December 30th, 2024. You can find these performers at Echo Lake, around Center Stage, and near Baseline Tap House throughout the day. Check the My Disney Experience app for specific times!

First up, you can catch the Juggling Elves who are up to some whimsical shenanigans. No surprise here, but their performance includes LOTS of juggling. From bowling pins to presents, they juggle it all! They also perform a variety of other stunts. It is kind of like an elf circus. You might spot a familiar friend in the crowd!

You can also see the Holiday Spirit Band, which is a dynamic brass band that performs groovy, cool tunes. You will hear various songs, including Christmas songs performed by this group. You might even catch a Disney character dancing along to the songs!

Finally, you can also catch Seasonz Jukebox rocking through way through the streets with hard-hitting horns and dazzling dancers. This group is full of energy and will have you tapping your feet to the beat, and maybe even dancing! The group includes drums, horns, and a saxophone, along with some high-energy dancers. We had so much fun seeing them perform!

While we still REALLY want to see The Citizens of Hollywood make their return to Sunset Boulevard, we are still excited to see some more live entertainment available in Hollywood Studios for a bit.
