I've been trying to figure out how to put Pete in, which is weird, since he's almost never seen in the parks as a meet-n-greet character. To follow up on an earlier post...
The only other thing I can think of for Pete's motive to make trouble is that an act of his at the theater had been displaced by Mickey and the gang's and he wants revenge for it.
Also, @ThemeParkPriest, I don't believe you really answered my question about your suggestion for the Mickey meet-n-greet in Paris. You had said that it should be railroad-themed given its proximity to the Fantasyland station. However, my argument is that Fantasyland in Paris is mostly based on European fairy tales (save for Dumbo), and any railroad-themed meet-n-greet would be mostly American in theme, and I don't want that, mainly because I don't want to offend the French who have already given the park a bad name for it being too American.
If I went with the Storybook Circus dark ride, then the Mickey meet-n-greet would have to be rethemed appropriately. The only thing I can think of is a replica of the Mickey meet-n-greet in Shanghai, but that is all just a bunch of (often animated) paintings and such, with none of the posters seen in the queue of the meet-n-greet of today. In any case, here's what Shanghai's meet-n-greet looks like to give you an idea:
So what are your thoughts about that, @ThemeParkPriest?
The thing linking all of the various seemingly disparate sections together is Mickey's magic hat and wand, which are causing things to go haywire.
I have also considered maybe having Pete be involved in this ride somehow (maybe he owns the theater and is upset that Mickey, being the main entertainment there, goes on tour). He deliberately, discreetly shakes up the bag and unzips it just slightly enough that when Donald and Goofy take it, they drop it, after which the hat and wand fall out, and Pete steals them both.
What do you think? Should Pete be involved? If so, what would his motive be for making trouble for Mickey and friends?
