Both Warriors of Wakanda and Citizens of Buena Vista Street performed daily in June and will cut back performances by 20% or more during July — one of the busiest vacation months of the year.
Citizens of Buena Vista Street will not be offered on Thursdays and Fridays during most of July while Warriors of Wakanda will not be offered on select Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays throughout the month. The Disneyland entertainment calendar only extended to July 24 as of press time.
The latest entertainment cutbacks come on the heels of the cancelation of “Doctor Strange: Mysteries of the Mystic Arts” in Avengers Campus and the Club Pixar dance shows during the middle of Pixar Fest at Disney California Adventure.
WDW News Today reports the show closures and reduced schedules are part of a series of entertainment cuts coming to Disneyland and DCA.
