While it’s unclear how those layoffs are impacting each show, the Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor at Magic Kingdom, and Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage and Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, both at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, have had their entire casts and crews laid off, meaning that these shows are effectively dead.
The layoffs have hit a number of popular attractions like Finding Nemo: The Musical and The Festival of the Lion King at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and the classic Hoop-Dee-Do Revue at Magic Kingdom.
In a statement, the Actors Equity Association, the Union that represents, performers at Walt Disney World, said that 720 members of the union were part of this cast member cut.
