I saw mention of this today on Twitter. Apparently they are leaving when their contract is up in February. Another cost-cutting measure by TPTB?

I wouldn't jump too fast to that conclusion. It's already been announced that new entertainment is expected to be in place by February.

Also, it could just as easily be the acrobats who chose not to renew the contract, we don't know. People assume that acts would never want to leave WDW but that's not always true. Acts like these often do like to move around and WDW isn't the only place to do this act. Getting out of the Disney contract may let them expand their audience.

Not jumping to any conclusions. Just wondering what the deal may be. You present good arguments for the other side.

I really, really, really hope they don't leave!!!
DD was born in China and seeing the acrobats was one of her favorite parts of our WDW vacation!
