Originally Posted By tonyanton The Diamond Horseshoe switched to "Goofy's Country Dancin' Jamboree" about 4 years ago or so, it lasted about a year.

On the rare occasion it's open during regular park hours, the tables/chairs are cleared out and they have character greetings inside. Truly sad. I'm not one to nitpick every change at WDW, but this has been one of the worst of the past 5 years. Shame on WDW management.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA Boy, back in the mid-80s, the Diamond Horseshoe was super popular. Guests had to pick up tickets for each of the 5 or 6 performances each day.

And yes, getting rid of some of the 'extras' in the parks is very, very disappointing. It's not ALL about rides!

Originally Posted By Elderp I miss the magician, I also wish there was a variety show in there. I am getting bored of the Billy's but I'd rather have them than goofy.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I know ncnike7. Disney was/is borderline a religious compulsion for me. However, the erosion on quality and increase on price is really starting to get to me. The magic used to make it all better, but I found while I enjoyed my last 3 trips to WDW and DLP, the magic is eroding. Mainly down to the dumbing down and the loss of spontenaity.
