News Fantasmic!, Festival of Fantasy Parade and Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire to return to Walt Disney World

[Stupido]

I really love the diversity in characters in this cavalcade. I remember when I was a cast member in 2010, it was next to impossible to find Mulan or Pocahontas in the parks. Mulan met in the China pavilion sometimes, and outside of Fantasmic! Pocahontas would pop up randomly in constantly changing spots in Animal Kingdom for meet and greets. Showcasing princesses outside of Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, and Aurora is such a strong decision, and I love that it's in addition to, as opposed to instead of. That goes for all of the characters here, from Miguel's WDW debut, to other rarer characters. Having more characters in the park is only a win, and gives more guests the opportunity of seeing their favorite. It's nice to see so many wins being added back into the park.

I can’t watch the video just yet, but are they allowing partner dancing yet or still keeping the cast “distanced”?

as well as Genie were highlights.

Did he collect his $15 as he passed by?

It's all choreographed characters, no dancers/partners

Still no touching....Fool's Hope that MMFF Opens with "Contact"???

Apparently guests have decided the PeopleMover is back to full-contact with or without masks….

I mean there's "contact" in Indiana Jones, so clearly that's no longer an issue.

FoF will look ridiculous without any "touching" or "contact."

And UOR just dropped Masks for any Guests....... So we'll see what TDO does and how that factors into "Contact"

Indy has Contact?!?!??!?!?!?!? What's BATB Excuse????? Even with 3 Royal Dance Couples, They could still do the Reg Finale!

Fantasmic! will return with “contact” and it returns soon, so it would be rather arbitrary to maintain distancing elsewhere for long.

"soon" better mean soon; there's only 17 days left in February..

I get the Joke but April seems stronger on here.

For once.

I remember Marie from The Aristocats was a common meetable character during the early to mid 2010s (such as Epcot and MK) before suddenly getting cut from meet and greets sometime in early 2016. For some reason, she's currently meetable at special WDW events.

Still waiting for Toulouse and Berlioz's (Marie's brothers) to make their WDW debut since both already set foot at Disneyland in late 2019.

LOL!!!!! Nice to see isn't it! Maybe everyone can just enjoy this because we know what comes next? MMFF in 2 Weeks, FOF on March 9?

We know this isn't replacing a major thing, it's just an addition.

So, Problems or just a few days delayed?

I believe this is minor. Frontierland is a bit of a cluster today.
