Petition Started to Bring Back The Citizens of Hollywood to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Fans are petitioning Disney to bring the beloved Citizens of Hollywood back to Hollywood Studios

The Citizens of Hollywood were hands down my favorite part of a visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. My family and I were recently reflecting on some of the amazing interactions with had with this fun group of actors during past trips, and all agreed the atmosphere (aka ‘streetmosphere’) on Hollywood Boulevard is just not the same without them. It appears many other Disney fans agree with us, as a petition is circulating to bring them back!

The petition language on Change.org reads:

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the park that brings back the old Hollywood era into the modern day while incorporating the current films that families love. It’s where the young and the young-at-heart can come together to appreciate the movie magic of the past, present, and future, all in one beautiful park.

While each Walt Disney World park has its own unique identity and has different elements that set each one apart, Disney’s Hollywood Studios had something that certainly brought their streets to life. That something, or rather, someone was a streetmosphere improv group of comedians known as the Citizens of Hollywood.

From opening day of Disney’s Hollywood Studios (formerly Disney’s MGM Studios), the Citizens of Hollywood entertained audiences day-in and day-out every day until the parks closed in 2020 due to the pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, for 31 years, they had helped create many memories for families who traveled from all over the world to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. As of 2023, the Citizens of Hollywood have not been brought back home.

In this petition, I am asking Walt Disney World to please bring back the Citizens of Hollywood to Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The Citizens of Hollywood were and still are a crucial part of not only entertainment but the park as a whole.

Without the Citizens of Hollywood, there is no heart to the park. The incredibly talented actors who brought each of the citizens to life brought so much energy, joy, magic, and love to the streets of Hollywood.

Whether it was doing a full-blown comedy competition or driving around in their cars, the Citizens of Hollywood made everlasting connections with guests that could not be recreated anywhere else. They brought Old Hollywood to life in a fun and refreshing way that was both hilarious and nostalgic.

There is no Disney’s Hollywood Studios without the Citizens of Hollywood. So I implore Disney to bring the Citizens of Hollywood home and kindly ask for those who have interacted with the Citizens, to sign this petition and show your support for these fabulous stars.

Thank you.

Bring Back The Citizens Of Hollywood to Disney’s Hollywood Studios Petition

Nearly 1,000 people have signed the petition since it launched on August 20th, with more and more signatures being added every day. The Citizens of Hollywood added an immersive and interactive flair to Hollywood Boulevard, and the park just isn’t the same without them. We hope Disney takes this petition to heart and brings the Citizens of Hollywood back home to Hollywood Studios.
