News Talking Mickey to leave Magic Kingdom

Relevant posts regarding talking Mickey...

Looking back, Mickey, Minnie and Donald's conversation would make more sense if that was at Animal Kingdom if Camp Minnie Mickey still existed.

Or the Adventurers Outpost....

I doubt this....

I can't imagine they'd scrap this.

Not going to happen.

Hearing? From whom?

Strong rumors? What makes them 'strong'?

Leaving? To go elsewhere or to be mothballed?

I know individuals who work in parks and entertainment and Who absolutely don’t talk about any of the major stuff they are working on (mostly that is much more major and high profile) but usually give little triggers on other things happening.

If you say so.

I’m not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but hearing strong rumours talking Mickey is leaving magic kingdom in the near future.

How can they be strong if this is the first peep about such a thing? My reliable source says your reliable source is wrong

You should have said "Talking Mickey to be replaced by Paint the Night". Maybe people would actually believe you then.

It’s fine, I’ll just leave it here for now...if it doesn’t happen I’ll berate my source..

If only the Talking Mickey was more interactive and spoke in real time (Which is rare) instead of using random phrases.

But I thought that was going to be one of the benefits of our super awesome Magic Bands?

Sssshhhhhh! That's after 5th gate and Cars Land!

I'm a little behind on my knowledge of what future features MagicBands could/would be used for, so forgive me if this has been discussed or answered in the past. Would a talking character say your name when you approached, based on the information provided by your MagicBand?

Ugh, and my daughter and i thought exactly the opposite. We met talking Mickey for the first time this past November. We were both kinda creeped out by him. We were trying not to be, but we were. My daughter is nine and would barely talk to him when he asked her stuff. Our pictures are hilarious though!

That is the plan for the MagicBand.

When we did this last we didn't even get a blink.

Pretty disappointing. Looking back I guess we should have asked for another FP, since we burned one on this.

It seems really neat, and popular. Why would they get rid of it?

Get ready to say "I told you so" to the naysayers in a couple of hours or less.

Thanks, Walt.

I just got his confirmed. He will leave May 2018 and be replaced by regular Mickey. It’s a pure cost saving move.

 

[SpectroBro]

I can confirm, it will be switching to Standard non-speaking Mickey within the next couple of months. They’ve begun to inform entertainment cast this afternoon.

 

[GiveMeTheMusic]

Wow, this is low - even for TDO.

Their excuse is that it’s too confusing for guests that he talks only in one location and they don’t want to pay to upgrade the other mickeys so they’ll just cut this one...
