It really is not a cost cutting move as there will be more several new entertainment offerings in DCA especially with the opening of Buena Vista Street.

Earlier this month they put out a casting call for one group called Five & Dime on March 7th (Vocalists) and March 10-11: (so maybe some of the former Miner 49ers could be a part of this group, although they wouldn't play the bluegrass that many enjoyed):

Disney Parks Talent Casting is seeking String Bass/Tuba, Guitar/Banjo, Drummer/Percussionist, Woodwind/Tenor Sax, Trumpet Players and Female Vocalists to perform as Five & Dime, a high-energy musical group ("Five") fronted by a female singer ("Dime") with the vocal stylings of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. Together, they will play and swing to popular standards of the ’30s while interacting with park Guests.

Role Dime: Female vocalist of African heritage, knowledge of ’30s swing and scat singing, reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, must sing “G” below middle C to “D” a 9th above middle C

Rehearsals begin early May, show opens early June


As for Grizzly Peak- with it moving towards a feeling of the national parks and Disney True-Life Adventures of the 1950s it makes me think that if they were to add something, could they take the musical core that made up the 49ers and turn them into park rangers.

Then build a show that incorporates some audience participation numbers with a visit from Humphrey the Bear, maybe Ranger Woodlore or Donald Duck and have a nice show.
