Character meet and greets will remain

In recent months, One Man’s Dream has played host to a number of character meet and greets for upcoming films, including Moana and most recently Star Lord and Baby Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. And though the focus of the Walt Disney Preview Center will change slightly, Disney has confirmed that the meet and greet space right before the theater will remain, with Star Lord and Baby Groot staying through September at least, and other characters showing up in this space later as new movies are released.

The bottom line

Though it sounds like Disney is keeping much of the upcoming Walt Disney Preview Center pretty much the same as One Man’s Dream, it sounds like the stage is being set to minimize the biographical content inside this space in favor of showcasing the latest and greatest from upcoming Disney films. Though the non-fictional Walt Disney film has been gone for some time, it looks like with the name change Disney is squashing any chance of this film coming back. And though there is going to be some artifacts related to Walt Disney’s life, we wouldn’t be surprised if this is scaled back significantly in the coming years as Disney’s Hollywood Studios continues to evolve and more "preview" content is added to this attraction. 

Though no specific date has been announced, the Walt Disney Preview Center name is supposed to begin appearing in mid-September, with a new marquee for this attraction showing up around that time as well. How do you feel about this new name and refined purpose? Let us know in the comments below!
