RefurbishmentFeb 22, 2014#

The Ziti Sisters performed their final show at the Italy pavilion and permanently ended their run at Epcot after nearly three and a half years.

February 22, 2014 is the announced final performance date, given independently ahead of the fact by TouringPlans ("February 22") and KennyThePirate ("February 22, 2014"), both published February 4, 2014. No source reviewed reports on the day itself; the closure is corroborated after the fact by TouringPlans on August 28, 2014 referring to "an act that closed earlier this year, the Ziti Sisters," which confirms the closure happened but not the exact day.

NewOct 3, 2010#

The Ziti Sisters debuted as an interactive comedic atmosphere act in the piazza of Epcot's Italy pavilion, taking over the performance slot previously held at Italy by the World Showcase Players.

A WDWMagic forum thread posted October 19, 2010 quotes a news item reading "On Oct. 3, the Ziti Sisters debuted at the Italy pavilion at Epcot" and "The Ziti Sisters replace the existing World Showcase Players at Italy. Their show can be seen daily at noon, 1, 3, 4 and 5 p.m." A separate line in the same thread, from a later commenter rather than the quoted news item, states that the World Showcase Players still performed at the United Kingdom. Confidence is medium because the exact day rests on a forum repost of a news item rather than a primary source.
