Disney PhotoPass Day with special character appearances

[JSchnitz]

I was hoping for maybe a couple of the DVC character offerings, but who do I think I am? Our idea of "rare" is their idea of "ha never happening".

Roger Rabbit in DHS. Such a missed opportunity. He appears at WDSP from time to time, or at least has in parades and shows before. Also, Oswald.

I can't believe Florida is still without Oswald!

Bringing ultra rare characters would just cause a flashback of Limited Time Magic - where the rarest characters came out and every one and their mother came out. Filled the DHS lot and caused 5 hour lines.

They should have a spot where you can meet a suprise "rare" character that change everyday !

That would be their reason for doing it at DHS, to fill the park for once. These type of things should be scheduled on a regular basis there right now.

None of these ***SHOULD*** qualify as rare.

Now these are characters are what I think when I think of a "rare character"

I agree, when I think of rare characters. I think of Disney characters that come out that haven't been seen in a very long time take Stromboli for example.

Yes. Not "limited" time, but month-long celebrations. Also, another go at the Villains Unleashed Oct event... Again, a month long event as opposed to what 7 hrs or one weekend? That's why the parking situation was so terrible.

Timon will become a regular at WDW from 10/1, just so ya know.

Timon was a regular at AK back when Camp Minnie Mickey was still around.

 

[TabulaRasa]

I'm sorry were you expecting Uber-Rare characters?

I was expecting DVC-party level rare: Sebastian, Darkwing, Launchpad, Clarice, Chicken Little, etc. Aside from Atta, and Maleficent, all the other characters either appear in pop-up, character palooza, training or special events like MNSSHP or Pirates and Pals.

What is taking Oswald so long to become meetable at the WDW at this point? They already gave a tease of him during the Animation/Movie panel for this years D23.

Then use a different park for that example. Characters can only do like 50 guests an hour -so you don't want one character who would attract a 1000 people.

Disney must've learned their lesson when they brought Anna & Elsa into the parks.

I remember when Dr Hamsterviel and Gantu showed up during the Villains Unleashed event and was the only time they were ever seen since at WDW.

 

[ShoalFox]

For me personally, the holy grail character to meet is Robin Hood. Hopefully he'll come some time soon.

"Long Lost Friends Week" comes to mine.

I saw him in front of GMR (maybe a few times) last year.

I was at the Star Wars Galactic Nights event in April and it was very well run! There is no reason why they can't pull off these type of events more frequently! Bring out these impossible to meet characters and I guarantee you the turn out would be worth it! There is a whole fan base for this type of thing that for some reason they don't care to tap into. Awkward that Disney doesn't see the money on this one!

I still view Villains Unleashed as WDW's first attempt at making a Halloween type event outside of MK. I just wish it was handled better.
