Brave is one of my favorites so I will miss Merida! She’s been there for awhile though so this makes sense.

OMG, this has been way overdue and now the time has come for the east coast to get its own M&G with Mirabel
This area could probably be redecorated in an appropriate way to make sense for her. Ridiculous she hasn't been greeting all this time in FL. It's also crazy that Moana doesn't have a home considering the reaction she gets everytime she shows up in a night show and she's a big part of all of them now.

WDW could use both Mirabel plus Merida. For that matter, yes, add Moana as well. The three M's.

WDW has always been taking a long time on making their newer characters from their latest animated films meetable compared to the 1990s and 2000s. I have no idea why though.

It is primarily cost related.

I mean, that wig alone likely cost $7.4 million and required 12 research trips.

I still remember how long it took for both Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde from Zootopia to make a proper meetable appearance at WDW outside of special events and during the holiday seasons compared to Disneyland. They might do the same with Princess Aisha and Valentino not long after Wish is released.

If only Jessica Rabbit could come back to Disneyland Paris too.

They can have Avengers M&Gs ready ‘day and date’ for DCA, they should be able to do the same for animated releases.

Marvel pays for those. Most if not all new M&Gs that coincide with a movie/show release are paid for by the Studio. That’s why the characters don’t stick around

What about Lilo & Stitch? I remember both characters stuck around long after the film's original release.

I was more speaking about releases in the past few years that I'm familiar with, like the Marvel characters at Avengers Campus, and other M&G's throughout the parks that have coincided with movie releases. Its then up to the Parks to choose to keep and pay for those characters within the parks.

Wish they brought out The Flying Gauchito and Burrito from The Three Caballeros more often besides for rare events.
