Will you be able to stand beside or hug all characters on the 18th, both face and fur characters?

 

[DCBaker]

All of the "see" characters available in Genie+ have been changed to "meet" this morning -

Meet Disney Stars at Red Carpet Dreams
Meet Olaf at Celebrity Spotlight
Meet Mickey at Town Square Theater
Meet Princess Tiana and a Visiting Princess at Princess Fairytale Hall
Meet Cinderella and a Visiting Princess at Princess Fairytale Hall

Random family member is at Animal Kingdom and posted a picture of Gypsy from a Bugs Life....so they certainly went very random and obscure for today

Could this also maybe be tied to the Earth Day Celebration? Just odd so many rare characters are out like that.

I believe it is

I wonder if they just staffed up for today with every character they could fit in, expecting the normal ones to be swamped with longer waits.

“Meet ‘Steve’ - stormtrooper from episode 3 who fell off speeder at 45:32 minute mark”

Ps: fully huggable

Can't wait for our 3 year old to actually be able to hug the characters our next trip instead of waving from a distance

One of the many reasons Disneyland is always superior. Mickey is literally going to people and high-fiving everyone.

I can't quite tell from the pictures, are Photo Pass photographers w/ the M&Gs now too? or still DIY?

That is really well done.

Photopass are there

Trying to compute things for the Disney Comeback Index.

All the sightings have been converted to legacy M&Gs from your knowledge (interactions, photopass -I guess where existed before-, autographs, etc.?)

Some people are reporting that the character meals have returned to legacy M&Gs and Russel was back at AK.

Must be some dust in the air or something that made my eyes water while watching that.

Also a lot of the AK meet and greets are for Earth day
