Because a toy Doctor for plushie animals is the equivalent of a veterinarian...

This makes absolutely no sense at all. My kids are both Doc McStuffins fans. I think even they would be confused by this.

Also bizarre because she already has a presence at the Studios, so I really don't see why one would be needed here...

BTW, Chip and Dale are leaving Planet Watch at the same time.

This is just weird.

Well - I think it's a draw for kids and isn't a crazy reach. Did Chip and Dale make sense they were animals?

I posted about this roughly 2 months ago. Interesting that it's coming true. Wondering if it means she'll eventually get the boot from the Disney Junior Live on Stage show and if whichever character that replaces her in the show replaces her meet and greet outside the soundstage.

My friends were going down and asked me specifically where Doc was. There is a demand for her and with the state of things at Hollywood it seems they aren't making people fork out the money for the half park just to see her. This is a good development in my eyes. Chip and Dale will be fine you can meet them in a few places around the world.

PJ Masks are getting big maybe they show up there

Still baffled that Lambie isn't another character to be meetable from Doc Mcstuffins. Come one she loves hugs for crying out loud. Talk about a missed opportunity for kids to go up to hug her.

Eventually maybe, but doubt it will be soon with the renewal of a 5th season. If anything this shows there's enough demand for her and they hope it might draw guests back to Rafiki's.

I agree it makes very little sense, and reeks of cost cutting when you lose two characters for one.

No Chip and Dale in Epcot or DAK then. Guess paying for two characters in one meet and greet is getting too expensive for cash strapped WDW.

Well... it would make a little sense for DMcS to be at Rafiki Planet Watch. Doc's whole schtick of taking care of sick/injured toys is to help children not to fear doctors (and maybe want to become one themselves by playing a medical professional at home [I'm not going to say "playing doctor"]).

And at Planet Watch, they take care of live animals... so... connections.

Looks like she'll be like Stanley, he met at Animal Kingdom at one time when his show was on TV. Stanley was a show from Playhouse Disney.

I remember loving that show so much during Kindergarten

...and the Vet there is a part of that area of the park, as well as an activity in Wilderness Explorers.
I'm not quite understanding how Chip and Dale make more sense than Doc McStuffins.

I'm surprised Planet Watch is even still there, it's always completely deserted when I go there, people seem to ride the train and then get straight back in line to head back :/

I always see folks back there, especially brushing the animals. It's still there because it provides actual veterinary services.

And those people are missing out on a great experience.

My 6 year old is obsessed with Rafiki's Planet Watch! She loves all the little exhibits, the petting zoo, one time we watched a bunny getting its ears cleaned. On our last trip I think she spent a good hour over there. Both my girls also love Doc Mcstuffins and I think the pet vet Doc fits perfectly over there. We are excited for this.
