Flynn Rider to start meeting guests

[asianway]

This started today. He was out meeting people all over Fantasyland.

Roaming? He must not have lived to survive the day

He's been running around Fantasyland looking for Maximus. Just a test.

Taking pictures? Being stalked? Very curious how this goes down. Could be key to slashing the character budget which would be most welcome

No photos or autographs - just talking to guests. Has autograph cards though.

Saw him near the bathrooms yesterday. He was holding a poster and asking if guests had seen Rapunzel. It was a bit awkward and my two year old son just looked at him like he was crazy so he kept moving. Someone from Disney was following him taking pics.

I sort of like the idea of a character able to 'roam' around again and interact with guests.

How long before some guests ruin it before for everyone else? Place your bets! Step right up!

Hopefully no one ruins it and the test phase goes by without any issues. If the test phase goes well we might get more roaming characters. On a more realistic note I'm sure someone already ruined this experience for someone.

Wonder if the merry makers are on the chopping block? Of all the lands who could benefit from atmosphere equity, Fantasyland is dead last

That's great news to hear!!! Also this is kind of related but any rumblings of Tarzan coming back full time? I know they did the test back in the winter but Disneyauditions.com recently had several days of Tarzan characer look alike auditions posted. They've already happened now but it would make you believe that he was coming back fulltime.

I know they were looking for a Tarzan for Disney Cruise Lines.. Could that be what you saw?

Tarzan was out all day the other day. He is also on the times guide for daily meets.

He's on the app, too.

Oh you just know the soccer moms with their special snowflakes will get in a huff because little Johnny and Suzie weren't allowed to take a picture or get their book signed.

Still hoping this is the start of a plan to wean people off that mentality

I'm skeptical about this. The parks still run "Tarzan's Treehouse" as an attraction at DLR and why would that be okay and a M&G not be? Also, aren't the Tarzan books now public domain (recognizing there is a difference between trademarks and copyrights)? I would think that Disney should be able to develop material based on strickly on their 1999 film, but who knows.

Some of the books are but the character is still owned by the Burroughs estate. Same as John Carter.
