Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

[MAF]

That's great news. I'm in the middle of playing Epic Mickey right now.

Im still hoping the UP characters show up at Animal Kingdom.

I wonder what the crazy things people will say when someone asks "where is that character from?"

Oswald at WDW? This is awesome news!

Thank you Drew for your continued insights!

:wave:

Awesome! I love Oswald, especially after playing through Epic Mickey. I would love to get my picture taken with him. I haven't read through the whole thread, but is there any word whether he will look sweet or evil like in the game? I'm hoping more on the sweet side, but I'm happy about either. Thanks for the news!

If Disney is considering placing Oswald in the parks, then "Epic Mickey" (which is a fantastic game!) must be somewhat successful. Guests will probably recognize him from the game.

I love cartoons, and I was so happy reading this news. Can't wait to get a picture with Oswald!

Not sure on a specific time. It could be around when Pete shows up.

Oswald and Pete? Thanks again, Epic Mickey!

(And Drew!)

Maybe something like this

In the past there have been rumors of Oswald coming to WDW. I want to confirm that he is indeed coming as a character to the parks!

Thanks Drew. Wow that came out of left-field...awesome news! I like the variety of characters we've been hearing about. First Pete, now Oswald, "obscure" characters are always a welcome addition in my book :sohappy:

You cant be serious! Disrespectful to ask a question...

Man these boards are really starting to go south when asking a question is disrespectful.

I certainly didn't mean it to be disrespectful.

Then you insult Steve?


Who are you?

omg another chattanooga person have you made it outside?

LOL! Yes! I finally left today! It was rough though. The streets are still bad in many spots. Loving it all though! :wave:

 

[Magenta Panther]

YES!!!!!
This is such great news! I'm a huge fan of Oswald's after playing Epic Mickey!!!!

Can't wait to see what the walk-around suit will look like! Will he pal around with Mickey?

And maybe this'll lead to Oswald plush toys (gotta have one!)

Thanks, Drew!!! :sohappy:

Last time I checked at the website Video Game Chartz, Epic Mickey has sold 1.40 million games worldwide, which is considered pretty phenomenal. And it hasn't even hit Japan yet.

Wow...if the game is that successful, and if Oswald is going to start appearing at WDW...is it possible that Disney will consider making a movie based on Epic Mickey? Or maybe even a ride?

Work for EPB had to work on Monday that was fun!

Glad to see they're bringing back Oswald after his absence from Disney--thank Epic Mickey.

 

[David Roberts]

Oswald coming to the parks will be awesome, and hopefully that brings with it some more merchandise cause it's hard to come by

 

[PeoplemoverTTA]

This is awesome news - thanks, Drew! :sohappy:

Back when the Disney Store was still open here in Buffalo, I picked up a bunch of Oswald merch (framed print on my wall, large figurine); it would be great if the parks offered some unique merchandise as well.

I hope he sticks around until at least my trip in August!

 

[FutureWorld1982]

There are many possible locations for him at MK, since they're opening THREE new meet-and-greet soon (plus the Exposition Hall)!!

 

[sponono88]

It looks like he's beginning to appear at the parks more and more. Here he is featured in one of the DCA construction walls..
