I remember they did something similar to this following 9/11. The resort appearances were to make up for the drastically shorter park hours.

Or they had already decided and posed the survey to support the decision.. I never give them the benefit of the doubt - sorry

This is such a no-brainer. OF COURSE we would like to see characters in the Resorts.

Wasn’t this also a big survey topic a few years ago? They were wondering if they could jack up hotel fees but give some bonuses like character interaction to make it feel justified/premium.
I’ll be interested in seeing how this works. The parks have a lot of castmember-only areas that characters can go to frequently. Not every hotel has visible areas with barriers like that, though, but I guess doing calvalcades negates that.

Character update! Goofy and Pluto have just arrived at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa!

I remember them announcing characters would be found at some resorts last year, but I never saw any evidence of it actually being implemented. And if it was it must have been brief as I visited not long after it was supposed to start.
It would be nice if characters at the hotels were a permanent thing (without the distancing restriction).

I think the poll went like this...

They are here at Beach/Yacht Club.
Good spot, are you there now?

Yes. They’re hanging for a good amount of time too (over 15 minutes now). Seems to have some music and dance routine. Very interactive with guests below.

I love seeing characters doing stuff like this without just standing in line giving guests brief moments of interaction.

Great. Characters should be at the Resorts. At all levels of Resorts too (just like waterslides and hot tubs should be!!).
Good to see this happening.

This is so fun and I hope something they will continue. One of the things we loved most at Aulani was walking around the resort and having surprise interactions with characters. One of my happiest memories from that trip was running into Moana during a quiet late afternoon and she took a good five minutes to interact with my little girls who were just floored. It would be fun to be leaving for the parks from a resort in the morning and see Mickey in the lobby to really kick off the day. This is a great idea.

This will probably be a HUGE success for Disney both with and without Social Distancing.
