I have heard through the grapevine that Flynn will be leaving on or around July 3rd for good, and Rapunzel will be doing meet and greets alone after that date.

It's between the Castle and Tomorrowland (closer to the right side of the Castle if you're standing in front of it). I believe it's called the 'Princess Grotto'.
Flynn was just as big a part of Tangled as Repunzal. Disney finally has a strong male character to go along with a Princess. This makes no sense and is a terrible move. Meet and Greets are so incredibly popular and such a minimal cost (compared to rides and other attractions), it makes no sense for Disney to not take better advantage of them.

My three year old daughter will be absolutely devastated if this actually happens. While she has watched the movie countless times and is a huge fan of Rapunzel, it was really Flynn who stole the show at the M&G during our last trip in February. She was elated when he took her hand and led her up the stairs following the dance, and still talks about her time with "Eugene" to this day. I just don't understand the thought process here, as I thought he was quite popular with adults as well.

Seriously?!?!?!?!?!! People need to complain, Naveen and Flynn easily outshine their princess counterparts and I'm pretty sure more people are interested in meeting Flynn than Rapunzel. It can't be that expensive to have one more character performer scheduled can it? This isn't even a huge saving in the long run is it? Also I'm surprised since Tangled was made so gender neutral and made Flynn more of a bigger character than Rapunzel that they would take him away. I mean he is more than your standard Prince Charming.

I just confirmed with my friend who plays the roles of the princes that this is not a rumor and is true. He wants everyone to write in to keep Flynn and Naveen. Flynn hasnt even been in the parks for a year and is a big pull. So, doesn't seem like a well thought out decision.

I had heard that Naveen was leaving as well. Its such a shame! There have been quite a few cuts in entertainment over the past few weeks at MK, most of which the average guest wouldn't notice. There are a number of meet and greet locations in the Magic Kingdom that used to have two attendants and have now been cut back to only one. It may sound trivial but the extra attendant in those locations really helped with not only making sure the character is safe but to help facilitate the guest experience.

Very stupid move on disney's part. Flynn is a great character and the chemistry between him and Rapunzel adds to that. And Naveen too. Wow disney way to alienate all the little boys and boys at heart that looked forward to seeing them. Are you gonna have uni get rid of their marvel superhero meet and greets next since its something little boys want to see?
