So it's been a while since I have been to Disney -WILL BE GOING THIS FALL!!!!- so mickey and Minnie will be located in the front? How does that help with crowd control? Not disagreeing with the idea, just curious

Daisy Duck as a fortune teller sounds great!

Chip & Dale are natural clowns.

These should be very popular meet & greets.

My vote is that Mickey and Minnie can stay on Main Street and their location does not clash with Circusland. As for crowd control, their meet and greet location does not cause any problems. Plenty of room to get about on Main Street. If anything, yesterday's photos suggest there is more of a queue line outside the Fire Station for Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. :king:

As for Goofy - well, okay. I'm not at all upset about it, but there's Frontier Cowboy Goofy and Pirate Goofy already, so :shrug: On the other hand, it is always fun to get a photo with the big Goofy Dawg.

First, I'm glad they did put some characters out there. That's no big surprise, but it was not guaranteed either, was it?

Second, the characters I'd have hoped to see there (Pete, Oswald for example) are admittedly not as popular as the ones going in, so there's little room to complain. But don't let that stop us. :lol:

That's not true!

Besides, Pete, Oswald, etc. would be inside the Silly Sideshow. I take this post to mean that Goofy, Daisy and Chip & Dale are going to be outdoors in the Circus area.

I did. Is that as solid a rumor/news as Drews info is?

Yes, it's a legitimate rumor at least. One that Drew shared on other sites.

Weird that Goofy's not in pilot mode. Unless they're thinking of bringing in Launchpad or something what with these "rare character" rumors.

Wow, there's a blast from the past. If this was 1992, Launchpad probably would've been the marquee character for the Barnstormer.

There might be some different characters in the new Fantasyland.

For one thing, Pete, Oswald, Clarabelle, Horace, the 3 Little Pigs, Big Bad Wolf and Clara Cluck, all of whom are rumored to become regulars at Disney California Adventure, are rumored to appear in Pete's Silly Sideshow.

Wow, this is the first I'm hearing of this! Would love to meet the 3 Little Pigs!!!

So, where are the characters meeting that Drew mentioned?

The Great Goofini actually is a magician:

For the Barnstormer, he's apparently added "daredevil pilot" to his repertoire.

Oh, I thought they dropped the "Great Goofini" name because that's not what it says on the map.

Still, for a circus...I envision Goofy being the bumbling acrobat/trapeze artist that CAN do the stunts...just not gracefully. (Like him being shot out of the cannon...he can do that...but landing isn't in his repertoire.)

Wow...talk about shoe-horning him into a ride. A magician that becomes a daredevil pilot???
Plus...why is it called the Barnstormer... Is there a barn anymore?

I too heard Donald (which is confirmed by an interview with an Imagineer), Goofy and Daisy.

Had not heard Chip and Dale, but it makes sense.

I think rare characters (Pete, Oswald, etc.) were a dream for several regular Guests, but never a true hope.

Wrong! It IS a true hope!

I think the rare characters will be inside the Silly Sideshow tent while Goofy, Donald, Daisy, etc. will be outdoors in the area.

I also think that the VIP's (Donald, Daisy, Chip & Dale, etc.) could take over the current princess room in the Town Square Theater after the princesses leave that spot instead.

So my question is if Goofy, Daisy, And Chip and Dale move to Storybook Circus, what happens to their current greets? Goofy appears daily outside Pirates, Daisy appears daily at Town Square, and Chip and dale in BOTH tomorrowland and Town Square on peak days. Are they staying or are they being replaced?

I would love to see Peter and Wendy move back to Adventureland, or perhaps a permanent Jack Sparrow greet. But It's probably more likely these greets would just vanish right?

Oh and someone mentioned Pluto doesn't have a permanent home, he's out in Town Square every day as well.

In this case it would be definition #2.

My understanding is that they are just moving and the current characters would be reorganized. I wouldn't be surprised if Woody and Jessie got moved into Donald's spot and Pinocchio got Daisy's spot. I haven't heard that, just pure speculation.

There are some rumored "tomorrowlandish" characters moving to MK which would likely replace Chip and Dale, but that means we would probably lose 2 characters elsewhere to make it an even swap. Maybe Stitch will get the boot when his attraction goes into rehab (rumored to be removed completely). The only other easy character I can think to cut is White Rabbit?

I would love to see Peter and Wendy move back to Adventureland, or perhaps a permanent Jack Sparrow greet. But It's probably more likely these greets would just vanish right?

I'm the most interested in this. Peter was always a main staple in Adventureland (as was Hook and Smee), but once The Pirates League moved in, those characters were kicked out due to inconsistent storytelling. Jack Sparrow couldn't be there, since his show is so close, and that creates some Character Integrity issues.

On the other hand... the Jake option is rumored to be at the League within the month, so maybe Jake will get added... then again, Jake is in the same storyline as Peter... so many quandaries!!! The M&G is beautiful where it is, so I hope they find something!!

The one thing that's safe to say is that with all the expansion going on... I've heard nothing to indicate the character budget is expanding. So Entertainment has to be very resourceful with the characters they currently have and try to spread the wealth throughout the entire park.

Let's hope that Entertainment's budgets do get increased with the expansion. They'll have to and I think they will. Besides, once the expansion is completed, they'll be able to give Entertainment larger budgets again. :D

I also think that Pluto, Donald, Daisy and Chip & Dale will probably move into the Town Square Theater (where they would take over the current princess room once the princesses move out of there and into their new Fantasyland homes) instead of Storybook Circus.
