I'm confused as to why these cuts were needed for muppets? I imagined that the muppets thing was going to be animatronic characters that appeared in the windows. So manpower should not be apples to apples to add the muppets and subtract the three character M&G's. I understand that there is still operating costs for the muppets so some budgetary balancing may be needed from the entertainment budget. However, to me it would seem the budgetary "balance" may be off here.
I should say that I am all for the cutting of the characters that they are as two are meetable in other parks and Jesse has been out for years. I am for changing things up from time to time. I would just like to see a replacement for at least two of these character cuts and allow the third cut to help make up for muppets.
I am surprised that between Liberty Square and Frontierland there will be no meet and greets at all. This does not seem very "Magic Kingdom." Bring out the Brer's and put them in the old Woody and Jesse spot at Splash Mountain.
