Okay here's some news for 'yall. Yes there are RUMORS going around about a Smee makeover (which is long overdue as most of us know). I'm hearing that he might get the same feet and arms as Lilo, and he would also have more pudge. I haven't heard anything on Tigger for a long time, but I like the way that the pink nose looks on him, definitely makes him look better :)

Here's some Power Ranger news for 'yall. Around February they will be getting rid of the Time Force Pink Ranger, and I believe the SPD Red Ranger and bringing in the new Mystic Force Pink Ranger (Looks really cool, you can do a google search to find a picture) AND from what I was told yesterday....*drum roll* THE MIGHTY MORPHIN RED RANGER! Yeah, totally old school but I think it's a great idea. Now mind you this is just what I HEARD. Not 100% positive, but if it's true, that would be so awesome!

Does Jiminy actually come out for photos? I've been to WDW many times guess I've never been on the look out. When and where has he been seen or is he just in a show?

Thanks

We don't go character hunting, but are well aware of most the spots where you'll likely run into a couple. Though once just a "stop if we have time" thing, we are trying to make it more of an integral part of our vacation, as nothing beats the pictures you can get out of those intimate character meetings.

That said, we don't like the character mobs, so usually we just hope a surprise encounter happens occasionally.

The Jiminy character looks great, but I really don't remember seeing him at all before inside the parks, though it's probably because the large time-gaps between our trips.

One question, I think it would be foolish to have Jiminy appear too close to Wishes in MK, but is there any feeling that he might show up after, seeing as his narration would have heightened his popularity at that time of night?

I had my picture taken with Jiminy in January. He was in MK in Liberty Square. He was kind of hidden. I almost missed him, but my fiance spotted him. He was by the Hall of Presidents enterance, but kind of in the corner. He was just standing there with no one around him. (Timon was there too). I was very excited to see him!!! Course now I have to find him all over again because they changed the costume:)

Dang I am surprised that that is WDE...that picture look really cheap. I thought that the Piglet costume looked different than that. And geez did Tigger lose 50 pounds? It looks very cheap, but I am sure it looks better in person.

If you go to the site, those pictures are totally different. They look nothing like the parks costumes..totally different. I am quite confused by this. Maybe in this show, the characters are puppets. That's what I am thinking.

They're not supposed to look like the ones from the parks, that's the point. They're not puppets either, look at the other pictures of them next to actual people, I don't think they'd make puppets that big. Plus I don't think puppets could swing from the tire swing like Tigger is in that one picture.

^^ They're not traditional puppets, but they are forms of animatronic costumes. Their mouths move in sync to the music/dialogue. The show has every character from Pooh in character form and Roo looks fantastic.. same with Owl.

wouldn't it be great to see ALL of these characters in the new 100 Acre Wood area in the old 20K area? I'm not a huge Pooh and friends fan, but I know they are def. a crowd pleaser!

I think the black nose is much cuter. He looks weird w/ a pink one. But he looks cute with the pink nose on my coffee mug next to me :p

I probably have the same mug you're talking about right next to me now. Those pictures of the Pooh characters are not what we'll be seeing in the parks. They may have all the 100 Acre Woods character out, however. They do have an Owl and Kanga/Roo costume but they only use them for holidays. Anyway, I've heard no talk in the tunnels about a pink nosed Tigger coming out and we tend to hear of updates first. I didn't hear about them changing Jiminy or Brer Fox until it happened though. I'm not in favor of them changing Tigger. I think he's cute the way he is.

I really like the new jiminy and I'm sure tigger will be great. I am sooo glad to hear about a smee upgrade. I have always thought he was too thin and too tall next to Hook. Some characters that need an upgrade in my opinion are the Robin Hood characters. Robin has been redone (and looks good), but the Sherrif and Prince John specifically need an update. I have seen pictures of the chicken little characters and they are a cute addition to the cast.

The new Jiminy really looks cool. I'd like a photo compare, though. And to see the New Genie as well.

As for Tick Tock, I remember seeing his autograph on the wall by the Character Zoo, but I had no idea there really was a wandering character. That'd be really cool to see.
