Oh, I hope they do not leave Christopher Robin's room at Epcot! We walked right into an air conditioned room for a quirt, private visit...as opposed to waiting close to an hour in MK by the Winnie the Pooh ride, outside.
I don't mind the changes since most of the characters can be found else where and not being completely removed (minus Darth Vader).... But can we please bring back Duffy to Epcot?
It was always nice to meet with the characters in their "home" countries and nice for the kids to have something to do during their visits there. Some of the countries have nothing to draw the kids in or keep them occupied while the parents browse the shops.
Chip, Dale, Pooh and Tigger are leaving Epcot completely as regular characters outside the dining experiences. They're not moving into the expanded Character Spot. The Character Spot expansion WILL include Joy and Sadness.
Besides, Chip, Dale, Pooh, Tigger and Aurora always greet guests daily (outside of dining) at the other parks, so it's best to vary things between the parks and make their character offerings a little more unique.
I dont like the fact that no more aurora in her epcot spot. Thats a great spot to see more princesses in epcot then waiting in that line for two hours plus in the magic kinghom. I can seen more princess this way.
Please dont take it away your faithful yearly customer for the past 12 years
Winnie the Pooh and Tigger are present at the Pooh ride in Magic Kingdom, so I'm not surprised if they take them out of Epcot.
We skipped the Super Bowl yesterday and headed to the parks. At Hollywood Studios we went to see Chewbacca and Kylo Ren at the Launch Bay. Kylo Ren looked and sounded awesome - he had the voice! However, he never stopped pacing around menacingly to take any photos. Performance-wise I'd give him an A, but we didn't get a single usable photo.
I agree!! We saw Vader on the 6th and the CM said Ren was coming. We went on the 7th for early magic hours and Kylo Ren had great interaction, but he stood about 3 feet away from us. He wasn't under the light and was against the dark gray walls. It was very disappointing not having a good photo!!
Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too can be found in Magic Kingdom still right? as well as Aurora? Without having to buy a meal somewhere.
Also chip n dale are very adventurous and end up visiting each park on a daily basis. I wonder if Epcot just isn't their favorite anymore.
I will be really sad to see Darth Vader go. I saw him several times last month at Hollywood Studios and he was one of the best interactions I had there. He had the perfect mix of menacing and fun. Think this will really be a big loss to the meet and greets.
