Tinkerbell Gets Her Star

When will we see Tinker Bell walking around the Magic Kingdom and doing Meet&Greets like the other characters?

And Peter Pan?
Don't we now just get CPT Hook and Mr. Shmee?

Didn't I hear something about Tinker Bell and the other new "Disney Fairies/Pixies/ChooseYourMythologicalCreature" starting to show up in the parks sometime soon? It would be weird, though, as they'd be a tad oversized...

I'd imagine Peter Pan is probably always a rare commodity in the parks aside from parades or special appearances - as a "face" character Casting has to be specific about who's in the role as opposed to a costumed character (and the actor has to be paid more, too).

I guess I don't really get the whole Hollywood walk of fame star business...... but why? What determines who gets a star and who doesn't? And what has Tink done to get one? I think it's kinda random to give them to fictional characters (though I know they've already done that- doesn't Snow white have one?)..... and if they are going to give them to fictional characters, aren't there characters who "deserve" them more than Tink? Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, because I know there are tons of Tink-lovers out there (and I'm by no means a "Tink-hater", but there's characters I like more).... I just don't get it...:shrug:

Yup they're supposed to be showing up in both parks soon- and I believe that guests will be "shrunk" down to fairy size in the queue....

Peter actually isn't that rare- you can find he and Wendy pretty often. Casting does have very specific guidelines though, and yes, friends of face characters are paid more than friends of other non-face characters

Why? Additional publicity for the upcoming Fairies events coming out soon, according to previews of coming attractions.

Sorry. . . but it is all about the money. Tinkerbell doesn't even know (she's a fictional character. :lookaroun )

That information first came from an Al Lutz update on Miceage. According to Lutz they are building a "Pixie Hollow" garden area at Disneyland near the Matterhorn where Tinker Bell and her pixie friends will do meet n' greets and sell souvenirs. It's supposed to open by Christmas.

There is no reasoning behind who gets a star. They are selected and they pay 25k and then they get a star.
