For Disney movies are not simply budget & box office numbers. The movie is consistently one of the most streamed on Disney+, sells tons of merch and has a big following now.

So a friend I know who works at the World seems to have the impression that Mickey & Minnie are returning to Epcot.
We knew this…once the new character spot is open.
However, she is hearing that they are both to appear in their 1980s ‘futuristic rainbow’ astronaut attire.
Remade versions of their classic silver EPCOT Center ‘looks’….you know the ones.
All EPCOT Center fans know the ones….
I personally have not heard anything about this until now, and I am not 100% certain this is going to end up actually happening….
But interesting none the less.

Don't Mickey and Minnie already meet at EPCOT?

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I feel like having it tie in to Imagination Institute would be so easy tho. Just put a lab coat on. Doesn't even have to really be directly related to the theming.

Nope, it was announced they will be wearing their 100 Platinum outfits there...Still seems pointless not to have the the rest wearing them out at MK.
Disney100 Celebration coming to EPCOT in late 2023

I say just screw it with trying to tie into the Honey I Shrunk/Imagination Institute IP theming, it alone doesn’t fit now with Honey, I Shrunk the Audience long gone from the Magic Eye Theatre, so I say, just have Dreamfinder ‘and’ Figment meet and greet outside or in the meet and greet spot again if that’s what the plan is for the ride’s future. It’d only be seen as an act of goodwill on Disney’s part ‘and’ it’d be good promotion & be a great way for guests to interact with Dreamfinder & Figment again in the meantime while they wait for a proper comeback of the ride. They used to meet n greet through the pavilion originally with only Magic Journeys & the ImageWorks operating before the ride even opened in ‘83, starting in Oct. 1982. So I see no reason why it couldn’t nor shouldn’t be done now.I feel like having it tie in to Imagination Institute would be so easy tho. Just put a lab coat on. Doesn't even have to really be directly related to the theming.
Otherwise, 04-era Jumbo Figment from Figment’s Place is probably the best one to go with in the meantime if there truly ‘isn’t’ a plan involving Dreamfinder & Figment atm internally and of course, the fact that ‘Figment’ atleast is still featured in the ride currently.

That's nice about the M & G's, but it shouldn't be one of the main news stories for the 100th.

It's the norm when they aren't planning any big attractions for sometime..

WDW:
We really care about our guests. Look, we’re adding Moana and Mirabel. We’ve brought back character dining with all the exact same characters as before. Guests just love it!
Disneyland:
We’ve had Moana and Mirabel for over a year. Miguel meets everyday. We had Bianca and Bernard. It took you guys forever to add Mando. Our hard tickets had Bruno, Madam Mim and Ernesto De La Cruz. Guess who we’re adding now?

I guess this says something about human nature and never being satisfied, but dear god, I never thought moving close to Disney World would result in just constant looking at Disneyland and wanting to be there instead.

Not so much about never being satisfied. It has more to do with WDW Leadership being able to do so much more and they continually and deliberately choose not to.

If you count the little boats, Scrooge and Launchpad. I don't think they have country bears and maybe a few random training characters that youd see at Epcot that don't appear over there regularly.

They do a lot of rare characters for runDisney races. Not on the daily of course, but I would call that comparable to the characters they have at special parties in DL.
For regular meets, not much. There were some things that you wouldn't see, like the Pandora rangers and Baymax, but neither are current and Baymax will surely be on the west coast soon enough.

And Tangled got a bathroom.
It still was a box office dud despite the creative accounting of other departments within Disney. My point was the likelihood of an entire attraction, and the budget devoted to it, seems to be blue sky thinking and the M&G is probably the extent of it. Two years post film release and we're getting a M&G that's not even open in the evening.
