If we ever have any changes in the character roster here at WDW, here is a place where we can post them. I'll begin with some of the most recent changes...
At the Magic Kingdom, the White Rabbit has recently headed back down the rabbit hole, and his spot has been filled in by the Mad Hatter. (I seriously hope WDW allows he and Alice to roam around Fantasyland causing shenanigans, like they do at Disneyland (see the YouTube channel "briberry" for examples of such shenanigans.)

- Also at the Magic Kingdom, Stitch has left Tomorrowland for good, and is not currently scheduled to return any time soon. Some speculate that the title character from Disney Junior's "Miles from Tomorrowland" will take his place.
- Rafiki, the wise baboon from The Lion King, will find a second home in WDW. In addition to his home at Rafiki's Planet Watch, he'll be found near the Sunshine Tree Terrace at the Magic Kingdom. Though this character won't be roaming around, guests will be able to form a small line to meet Rafiki in this new space.
Interestingly, even though the Magic Kingdom has hosted a lot of temporary meet and greets in recent weeks (including roaming Flynn Rider, Snow White and Peter Pan characters), the new Rafiki meet and greet in Adventureland is actually expected to stick around as a permanent addition to the park. - At Epcot, Daisy has replaced Duffy the Disney Bear at Showcase Plaza.
- At Disney's Hollywood Studios, Minnie will be meeting nearby the Disney Junior show at Animation Courtyard. However, when guests see Minnie Mouse in this area, she'll look a little different than they might remember, as she'll be wearing the dress featured in the popular Disney Junior series "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse". Minnie Mouse will also have a backdrop featuring a location from the show. This meet and greet is expected to open later this week.
- Finally, at Disney's Animal Kingdom, an old friend is coming back: namely, Flik, the ant hero from A Bug's Life. He'll be found near the newly-opened Starbucks location. Interestingly, even though Flik has historically met guests with A Bug's Life co-star Atta (and in fact still does at Disney California Adventure), he will be flying solo in this returning meet and greet experience.
