Ok this is Sad for sure.. but WHY is this news! They are not the original 4 nor are they even close!
The Dans have been at Disneyland since 1959, and have gone through many cast changes.
Look at this picture from thier website
This story has been around the net for months, and this is something that happens quite regularly if you look at their history. Their WEBSITE doesn't even say anything about them leaving, because it's common.
Granted those 4 were great and funny and I enjoyed seeing them, but to be honest..I remember seeing them when I was young, loved them then too and they were different people!
There have been many Billy Hill and the Hillbilies too!
And so ends my turn on the SoapBox _________________ Dave.... |

You mean there's no real Billy Hill........ARGHHHHHH!!!! Don't tell me. I don't want to know. You are shattering dreams and illusions!!!!!!!!!!
Next thing you'll be telling us is that Mickey is really just a short girl in a costume. _________________ [ |

If it wasn't for Cannonball Run Part 2, I wouldn't be able to name one Menudo song.
Are any of the new Dapper Dans old ones comming back? Just curious. |

still, ouch. i'm guessing the auditions were an excuse to get rid of seniority costs.
how do you write up a job description for this kind of thing, anyway? where would you even post it? in the classifieds under 'esoterica?' i'm guessing trade mags or something. and word of mouth.

Actually there haven't been. The founder has since retired and Kirk Wall who is Billy Hill started out doing Pecos Bill in the Golden Horseshoe Saloon. He and most of the cast has pretty much been there since. There are alternates for days off etc. But the band for the most part has contained the same 10-15 people in some sort of rotation... _________________

Ok but I was right on the Dapper Dan's stuff!
1 outta 2 aint bad
But there are stand-ins like you said... so it's not the same 4 all the time..
So I got that going for me _________________ Dave.... |

They are all VERY talented... I can't imagine them out of work long.
I truly wish them all the best success... and I am sure we will see them involved with Disney some other way _________________ Dave.... |

You don't think the new group is as good?
I don't understand what was so different about how they were let go, versus the way all the other Dan's were let go???
Any light you can shed would be helpful in my understanding! Otherwise...to me it seemed to be the same way the others went. Contract up...next... _________________ Dave.... |
