Neither was Wreck It Ralph, which is an even bigger shame since, in my opinion, it's the crown jewel of DAS.As much as I enjoyed Big Hero 6, it was no Frozen in the popularity category. And it pains me to say that.

I actually think it's a notch above tangled, not above aladdin, but still a bit above bh6. It's the best thing out of the revival era behind princess and the frog imo.

Aww...well that's a bummer! When I was at Studios a few weeks ago I made a point to actually stop into the Magic of Animation building (which I haven't done in years) hoping to see Baymax. Unfortunately, he and Hiro had stepped out for a bit to "save the day" (or possibly inflation adjustment if some of these posts are true). Since my group and I were on a tight schedule, and given the fact that Ralph and Vanellope had been there for two years, we figured we'd catch them on our next trip after the new year.
Well this is the last time I assume Disney is going to do something based on their track record (it's just so easy to do given their history of changing offerings on a regular basis).

They were originally scheduled to leave this weekend, but it doesn't appear as though that is really happening. There are still performers, technicians, & costuming for Baymax being scheduled. Although they haven't officially told us that he's staying.
As someone who has worked with the Baymax costume, I haven't heard anything about him having problems with "regularly deflating" while on set.

I thought tangled was better than frozen in every way. But princess and the frog was the best.

Wreck it Ralph was released two years ago...
But one year is usually max for the location & Robinsons was under six months if I recall. So many logistics problems with big hero 6, but Monday was never the last day at the studios

They aren't on the park times guide either which is most of what he posts.
Thanks for clearing that up!

Hiro and Baymax haven’t been on the times guide for a little while but they were still appearing over the holidays. I’m heading over to Studios tomorrow so I’ll have to check it out.

Hiro and Baymax will be staying until March. After that, it looks like they will be retired from WDW.

Theory: The Studios, as in The Walt Disney Studios, could be paying the M&G's operating expenses and TDO doesn't want to pick up the bill when that agreement expires.

I wonder if Hiro and Baymax may be replaced with Olaf or Marshmallow from Frozen? Them M&G's in California seem to be popular, and it might bring some more people into the studios?

Not a theory. Pretty sure that's established.

Seems like a pretty short run, considering the movie is still in theaters and the Blu-Ray wasn't even released. I would expect them to stay until April at the earliest.

I really hate to be "that guy", but what does TDO stand for? I see it mentioned here a lot on the forums and I'm completely clueless what it means.
Team Disney Orlando. Basically the higher up managers of Walt Disney World.

Thanks! I felt completely out of the loop on that one.
