[Disney Maddux]

Any chance of getting Dreamfinder & Figment meet n greets soon?

I think you’ll have to wait till the Imagination refurb for that...

UPDATED INFORMATION
I have heard recent rumors per @SpectroBro and @rteez that Ralph and Vanelope will be heading for Epcot in November to promote Ralph Breaks The Internet. They will likely join Baymax, Joy & Sadness in Character Spot. In the past, I have heard rumors that Nick & Judy would be meeting in Epcot, however that turned out to be a hoax more than anything (they will be meeting during MVMCP). With this being said, Ralph and Vanelope are likely to return to Walt Disney World by the end of November. I might say the same thing about them returning to Disneyland for that matter.

Newest details.

Newest details.

I truly wonder why they continue to do nothing when they have very high demand for a permanent Judy and Nick M&G.

Like, why does every Disney park in the world EXCEPT for WDW get one?!

Tokyo and Paris too.

All these decisions are made locally and every other resort does NOT have one

Exactly. I mean WDW does it only during MVMCP, Paris doesn't have them out on a regular basis, and they're never out at Tokyo.

Same with Shanghai.

No no, there’s obviously huge demand for Zootopia. 3 people said so.

They’ve had them during certain seasons

The third character being considered for coming for EPCOT is not, I Repeat not anyone from Zootopia. The only two characters planned to have mainstream meets from that movie are Nick and Judy. {Edit: Grammar and Clarification}

Out of pure curiosity, who was the third character who was supposed to join Judy and Nick? Obviously it didn’t happen, but I still want to know haha.

 

[SpectroBro]

I’ve also just heard that this now maybe be off. Budget cuts from the FOX deal hit hard this week...

It was a meet and greet switch out in WS. Not sure exactly who, but sounded like they would have gone into the old Duffy spot, now occupied by Pluto or Daisy.

Why didn’t it go through?

I thought contemporaneous M&Gs with a movie was paid for with movie advertising bucks?

It would’ve been a new area in the building with baymax and inside out..

Only the few few months, then ops does. And they do because they don’t pay for the set decoration

News to me that something was considered to go into Character Spot 2 other than N&J and R&V. Shame it didn’t come to pass though, as Epcot needs all the help it can get.
