Walt Disney World Resort has temporarily added a new entertainment offering to the Italy World Showcase Pavilion at EPCOT. However, guests looking on the My Disney Experience app won’t find any showtimes or performance details.
New Offering in Italy World Showcase Pavilion at EPCOT
For the last week or so, Walt Disney World Resort has replaced the usual performer in the Italy World Showcase Pavilion at EPCOT, Master Juggler Sergio, with an acrobatic chair-balancing act. Sergio is scheduled to return on Sunday, June 21, so the unnamed chair-balancing act is likely to perform for the last time on Saturday, June 20.
BlogMickey shared this photo of the acrobatic chair-balancing act, which doesn’t perform on any listed schedule, on Facebook:
Saturday is likely the last day to spot these acrobats in Italy, though Walt Disney World Resort has not officially confirmed this. If your family enjoyed the acrobatic chair-balancing act, it may return later this year in a different EPCOT World Showcase Pavilion.
During the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, Walt Disney World Resort debuted a show called “Acrobatico!” in the France World Showcase Pavilion. The entertainment offering, which also featured acrobatic chair-balancing, ran Sunday through Thursday and performed multiple times a day. “Acrobatico!” marked the first return of a balancing act to the France World Showcase Pavilion ever since the “Serveur Amusant” show ended several years ago.
Walt Disney World Resort hasn’t announced whether “Acrobatico!” will return to the France World Showcase Pavilion during the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. However, the annual event is scheduled to run from August 27 through November 21, 2026. Each EPCOT World Showcase Pavilion typically offers limited-time food, beverage, and entertainment inspired by the seasonal festival.
