fabfive???

Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Chip and Dale, Pluto (Donald too?).

Sorry to return to the whole Figment issue, but they won't be waiting til summer to take him away. His last day is actually March 15th. They are also taking away Koda and Kenai from Canada; the reason for these changes being that entertainment at EPCOT is way over budget and those characters have the smallest guest numbers. I spend a lot of time with Figment, so I hope he will be back in the future, but who knows.

That stinks!

Chip and Dale are not considered part of the Fab 5. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto are the traditional group.

I think most guests don't even know he's out.

I also think Epcot should have Marie out everyday...Maybe she will someday. I've been back at France and there have been people looking for her and waiting for her to come out.

Yeah, you're right.

But they will always be VIP to me.

I honestly think they should call it like the Fab 9 or something. Add Clarabelle, Daisy, Horace, Chip and Dale to the Fab 5 (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto). Those 4 have contributed a lot to the older shorts. But, what do I know though.

WOW! I can't believe that my daughter will be crushed about Figment, she loves him. Glad we got his picture before they're going to take him away.
Also that's weird about Koda & Kenai I think I've seen them once or twice at Epcot while walking through Canada.
We got there pictures at Animal Kingdom.
I wonder what character(s) is next???

I saw Horace last time I was at WDW... all the kids wanted their picture taken with "Goofy." Those old shorts are completely lost on anyone under 18, methinks.

The same thing happened when we saw and met Clarabelle and Horace nobody knew who they were.

That's true, but hey I am only 23 and I know about them...I am probably the exception to the rule though.

I think that if they start to use them in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show, and start making new shorts for movies (like they did before National Treasure 2) we could see a comeback of those classic characters. I hope we do anyway.

I heard there would still be F! area sets but I think they'll be before BPB.

Ummm what are F! sets?

 

[joanna71985]

Ummm what are F! sets?

It is when characters from DSMC would come out in front of the Hat and meet before going off and doing their thing in Fant.

 

[TubaGeek]

Yeah, I just turned 20 and I only remember them from the really ancient cartoons shown as reruns on the Disney Channel before it started s__________g. Also my family's very first computer had a sweet Disney pack of games on it, some of which included those characters lost to time.

 

[drew81]

i wouldn't expect to see a parade set after block party like DSMC. DSMC is a 12 minute parade. Block party is a 45 minute parade.

I heard they are going to have sets after Block Party.

I'm a good friend of Horace's and I can tell you straight from the Horse's mouth (haha) that he always gets called: Dog, Cow, Mr. Clarabelle, Moose, Goofy, Dude, etc. etc.

It's very disheartening that no one even cares to find out his name, and Disney animation isn't helping by showing Clarabelle and Goofy dating. Honestly, it is really freaking confusing.

 

[Bug715]

Yea Kat's right. My grandma and her friend were calling Horace Goofy!! Seriously how can you confuse them?!

I know who Horace is.:lol:

I just can't understand how people don't know the difference between the characters. Like how people call Pluto-Goofy and vice versa.:brick:

Kat's right. I have witnessed it first-hand.

We caught the end of the Family Fun Parade, and I everyone was calling out for Daisy and a few other characters. I yelled, "Hi Horace" and he starting jumping up and down and waving.

Then my Mom looked at me, and asked who he is was. Then a few other people asked me, too. It was funny, but super cool!

Haha that's awesome, I think Horace is the one character where you can call his name and actually get his attention, because he's usually surprised when people call him by his name.
