I can understand why some meet and greets disappear when the popularity of the characters die down, but some, like Joy and Sadness, are unexplainable. The movie will likely remain popular past Christmas with its recent DVD and Blu-Ray release, and we really should get a daily meet and greet, at least until the next popular Disney/Pixar movie comes out.

There was a time when you could meet Kuzco in his llama form from The Emperor's New Groove. I don't know dates or actual rarity though.

I also remember when they had Disney's Toontown (before it became the Toontown Fair) the characters from the Disney Afternoon would show up for meet and greets. Never got to see them, they weren't there the one time I was in Toontown and when I came back, it was the Toontown fair.

You should mention Goliath from Gargoyles. He only appeared on Halloween a few times.

Watch for Joy and Sadness in the 2015 ABC Disney Christmas parade.

I saw a photo of costumes of Bernard and Bianca from "The Rescuers", I Would have loved to have seen them in the park

They need to bring back the dinosaurs! That's sooo cool!!!

The Mobil Muppet Lab also appeared at DCA for a while. I don't know exactly when or for how long it was there. But I do remember seeing it one time on a visit to So CA. We saw it in the area near the Hyperion Theater and it seemed to have been a crowd pleaser. I always wondered why we never saw it again and wondered what happened to it. Thanks for the history of this.

I have a photo with the Orange Bird walkaround from back in 1977. I'm so glad to see him back in the parks now, even if it us only for merchandising.

With the recent announcement of Captain EO permanently closing at Epcot and an Inside Out attraction taking its place, we will likely (hopefully) see Joy and Sadness (and possibly others) once this new attraction opens.
