Could someone write up a post summarizing all the rumored changes that are suppose to occur in the future and perhaps put tentative dates/timeframes to when each of them will occur? It seems like there is a lot of Meet & Greet changes coming and it is starting to get a bit confusing.

So Stitch and Mrs. Incredible are leaving, huh?
It's kind of surprising that Mrs. Incredible is leaving considering she is a Pixar character and Pixar is the cash cow for Disney right now. However, the Incredibles doesn't seem to have the level of popularity that Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Cars, and Monsters Inc. have.
I think the only other place that Stitch meets is at Ohana, where you have to pay to see him. Can you meet him anywhere else?
We have lost so many characters this past year and all that remains are basically the Fab 5, the princesses, Winnie the Pooh characters, and a few Pixar characters. That is quite depressing.
I've seen stitch in MK next to carousel of progress numerous times.... Did they stop that?

Thanks for the info. When you say the Boat Dock, do you mean both the one on the Asia Side and the one on the Discovery Island/Front side? I had thought Winnie the Pooh characters usually met in the tucked away area on the right side of the pathway that leads to Dinoland USA.

My guess is - they're saving a few dollars. The same reason Flynn was cut. It sure wasn't for lack of popularity!

Because she's not a princess?
The one near Dinoland.

Any reason for that? Seems odd to stop utilizing the space unless the boats are coming back.
But then again, the boats coming back would be a terrible idea since anything worthwhile with them has been removed.

There wasn't much worthwhile with them to begin with. If they brought them back it would only make sense to start from scratch.

Eh. I'd disagree. It was very much like the WDW railroad of it's park. Had a few interesting scenes here and there. The problem wasn't the ride, IMO, it was that there was nothing to do in the park.

Both? Isn't that unusual outside of party nights like MNSSHP?

The problem is, nobody really viewed it as a mode of transportation, and it had ridiculously long waits because nobody knew what it was. Initially it was supposed to have mythical animal scenes and it would be the introduction to Beastly Kingdom. The budget wasn't there, there was a fire effect and Aladair, and that was it.
You're right though - if the park opened with more than 2 rides and 2 modes of transportation (Discovery River Boats and Wildlife Express Train) things may have been different.

I've heard that Pooh characters won't leave the boat dock until the new m&g area is completed. He will at least remain at the dock until fall season is completed.
Also heard that Stitch isn't going away any time soon, but will be relocated in Epcot.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.
