Disney Society Orchestra and Friends Closing on Oct. 3 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
The Walt Disney World Resort recently confirmed that the limited-time run of the Disney Society Orchestra and Friends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will close this fall. Their last performance day will be Saturday, Oct. 3, 2020.
Sadly, as a result of this change, the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra will no longer be available at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. Here's the announcement found on the official Facebook page of the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra:
It’s hard to find the words but, sadly, our days at the Grand Floridian are over. In fact, as of Oct 3, 2020, our days at WDW will come to an end as well.
The company brought us out of furlough, changed our name to “The Disney Society Orchestra,” closed us out of the GF to play a show of Disney themed show tunes at the Theater of the Stars in Hollywood Studios. We’ve been playing 9 shows a day, 7 days a week since Aug 2nd. The music is a far cry from the closely knit harmonies & sounds we became known for at the GF but. the guys are real pros and they sound great!
Well... Two weeks ago we got notice that the theater is going dark and our last day of work will be Saturday, Oct 3, 2020. As we all know, these are very uncertain times and can’t say what will happen from one day to the next.
So after 32 years of playing together and playing music we love... we’re done. We are so thankful for the opportunity to play in a beautiful setting for the hotel guests and friends we have met & made over the years. We’ll never forget you and how wonderful you’ve made us feel. We will miss you!
Thank you-thank you- thank you!
