Rumor has it that the equity actors who have been providing entertainment for guests in line for Phineas and Ferb’s Play and Greet will be eliminated this fall.  This will effectively eliminate the Play portion, reducing it to just a Meet.  However, this isn’t another case of mere cost reductions, like those striking Animal Kingdom in recent months, it is an opportunity to introduce the most commonly requested character in Disney Parks – Agent P!
Many park guests will be excited, if this rumor comes to fruition in coming weeks,  and will have the opportunity to hug a duck-billed platypus for the first time. Well, except for our Aussie friends.  (Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.  Oy, oy, oy).  Let’s just hope this rumor doesn’t lay an egg!

Doesn’t look like this rumor had any wings to it!

“We’re now offering you less magic for more money.”  Okay, that’s not a quote from anyone, except me, but that’s what will begin taking place beginning January 1, 2013.  Since the program began Walt Disney World has offered at least 1 park open 1 hour early or 3 hours late each day.  The 1 hour early Morning Extra Magic Hour will continue, but the Evening Extra Magic hours will be reduced to only 2 hours.  I’ve personally LOVED 3 extra hours at Magic Kingdom and Epcot.  I find the EMH at Hollywood Studios difficult to enjoy as greatly.  Last year WDW eliminated Animal Kingdom Evening Extra Magic Hours all together and instead offered an additional day with a Morning EMH.  With record attendance and increased revenue from increased prices on tickets, food and merchandise and numerous cuts in entertainment and characters, one is left to wonder what is going on in…
