I got told by someone who grandson worked at wdw for bit that they should only ever be 1 Mickey at any 1 time? Not sure if per park or ture at all. And PLEASE do not bite my head if wrong!

Now HERE'S something we can blame on management. The whole "one Mickey" concept seems to only go so far as that you can only see one of each character at a time. However, these characters have the magical ability to transport instantly. Yeah, you just walked out of Mickey's M&G at the theatre, but he beat you out and is now on a float or a show. Well, if he can do it in Fantasmic, why shouldn't he be teleport around MK?
Ultimately it comes down to them making as much money as possible without straight-up showing two to the same person at the same time.
That being said, you'd think there's no reason Pirate Goofy and Great Goofini shouldn't be able to meet at the same time, but management wants all the meet and greets to be more like attractions and less like organic, natural experiences. This has its pros and its cons, but, really, it all comes down to money.
That's why some classic experiences are going out the window. There's no place you can meet Minnie with Mickey OR Belle with Beast. That's just being stingy and cheap.

I'll agree that Cali does it better with having more unique characters. Florida could learn a LOT from their older little brother. But how does this keep getting back to management? If a bus boy at Chili's spills ranch on your Dockers, you don't blame management, you blame a one-time fluke on the individual's part. I've been around characters a LOT, and this is the first double-exposure I've even HEARD of. At Disney anyways...

If a leader places their employees in a position where they can fail, the leader failed. Whether it be by lack of training or placing them in a bad situation.

Remember... you were in Tomorrowland. What happened was the first Chip appeared in the same time frame
the second Chip through the use of a future time portal. Boy you guys are always complaining that Tomorrowland doesnt have a lot of "Tomorrow" features in it and now that it does you dont recognize it. ;)

I knew this and I am surprised no one else did. Honest, I did know this.

I'm more of a "buck stops here" kind of guy. Absolutely everyone is fallible, but we can't just push the blame up to the highest tier. Everyone needs to take personal responsibility for their actions. The only way to make this situation impossible would be to literally have their be only one Chip in the world. That's just ridiculous.
If management takes reasonable action to avoid this kind of situation, then they've done what they need to do.

It IS "Tomorrowland"! Obviously, Disney has mastered cloning and is simply testing it with Chip before they start using it on guests to generate more consumers in which to purchase MORE park memorabilia!

Just recently ( 2011 trip) I noticed the difference between Chip n Dale. A kindly CM pointed out that I thanked the wrong chipmunk. LOL.:) I have been a long time Disney lover, but not exactly a fanatic, and I just don't notice those "little " things.:D

You should only see one Mickey at any given time... that's not to say they're not conveniently placed throughout the parks where they will never cross paths. But if anyone ever asks, yes, there's only one Mickey!!

I love how you guys are covering up the little mistake by making up a story for it. Truly Disney fans!!

That's why you never see the TARDIS at the UK pavilion in EPCOT. They use it all day long to get Mickey all over the parks in a timely manner.

I don't like that stage as a character hub because there's no discreet access to it. It's too obvious when we see the "friends" of characters - in their greys - walking to/from the stage immediate before/after their set. It's just a little less magical.

How is the OP being a doom and gloomer? What they saw shouldn't have happened. Simple as that. There's a reason Chip 2 scurried on backstage.

That comment was a little dramatic for my taste..people that make comments like that by and large wont ever be satisfied..it was a "minor" mishap...Its not the first or last time it will happen..and certainly doesnt portent the downfall of WDW
