As you may know., we are always evaluating and refining our offerings and creating new ideas to build upon Disney stories. This philosophy is in keeping with Walt Disney's vision for continuing to grow and evolve, giving Guests a mixture of familiar and new experiences with each visit. In alignment with this philosophy, we have made the decision to end the limited-time run of the Disney Society Orchestra and Friends this fall with their last performance being on Saturday October 3, 2020. We apologize for any disappointment that this may cause you and please be assured that we have shared all of your feedback with the appropriate Executive Leadership Teams.

The Orchestra is known for performing ragtime, Dixie, traditional jazz and popular Disney tunes at Walt Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

Since early August, the group has performed as the Disney Society Orchestra at Disney's Hollywood Studios in the theater for "Beauty and the Beast - Live on Stage."
