And yet Fancy Nancy and Elena are still on there…, I’m waiting on that day when they leave the parks, bc, they’re hardly that relevant with most people anymore
I have no idea who those characters are...
Seeing as they're Disney Jr. characters that would check out lol
Not to worry..Your not missing much.
I think a lot of factors have changed since the early days to make that model pretty unsustainable at WDW. Characters couldn't roam like that today without being mobbed by guests who want to take pictures with them.
Agree, I actually think the parks need more dedicated indoor/sheltered areas for characters to meet (but don't replace existing attractions).
It would need to be thematically appropriate. Do any Disney characters canonically smell like chili dogs?
Which is really a good point... Thematically Appropriate should be very important in a world class theme park....It would be nice if any Meet & Greet location only hosts characters that are thematically appropriate for the land they are in... smaller meet and greets spread throughout the park...so that meeting a character also becomes a quest...instead of a warehouse full of photographers and characters....They need to do similar with shopping... THe shopping is the quest.... thematically appropriate products in the shops.... and then go to World Of Disney to get everything... cut back the size of the emporium and restore the separate shops... That would be awesome....
Part of the reason might have to do with the lightning lane recommending folks to the attraction or having that as one of the options. And I think the other reason (which is the reason why I personally rode it the last time I was there) is because, 1. I’m a fan of the character in his original form and it’s the only way I can see him for the time being.. and it’s like.. ya know; may aswell ride the ride before meeting Figment since it already lets you off into the current ImageWorks to meet him. It’s not a good ride obviously, but.. it’s a ride nonetheless that you can “enjoy” real quick to see a couple AAs in and that atleast you can get a good laugh at for how way too short it is & ridiculous the changes done to it are (nothing like sparsely decorated rooms with office doors, charts, and skunk farts blown in my face, Amirite? Hahaha, Oii Veii..
. Really is a spectacle in and itself to see just ‘how’ bad the changes truly are) , and 2. if you’re a fan of the OG.. point out where things used to be and what replaced them, before meeting Figment and seeing a nice tribute piece to the original for the background of his meeting space. It is what it is, ya know. Lol! I think another part of it too is people just wanna get out of the heat, even if it’s for only a few minutes and a ride (regardless of how dumb or good it is) is definitely the way to do it.
I See where your going it's like when a university updates their Old Mascot for sleek and younger looking one...
