Inside Out Character Meet & Greet?

[Mickey'sApprentice]

Are any of the Inside Out characters at the meet & greet in the animation pavillion at the studios or anywhere else at WDW?

No, nothing is currently planned.

The two characters who were at the premiere in Hollywood are still not doing meet and greets at DLR.

I'm hoping they'll be there for our June 2016 trip!

Nope, it looks like Hiro and Baymax are here to stay for a while.

Baymax and Hiro from BH6 were still the ones last week.

According to Kenny the Pirate the company that has to pay to have the characters appear in the parks is the same one that pays for Hiro/Baymax. They can't afford both and there are currently no plans to move the funds from them to Inside Out. Maybe that changes if the movie makes enough money? Who knows. One can hope but it sounds like it is not something to count on

I wish that we could get both Inside Out characters and Hiro & Baymax, but it may not be. I think it'd be great, but as others have said, it's not looking good. Fingers crossed though some magic happens!

It'd be really hard to do this well because I would definitely want all 5 emotions to be there, and I don't think they'll do a M&G like that with 5 characters except maybe at a hard-ticket party. I feel like just having Joy and Sadness wouldn't give the proper feel.

Did you read his article about past Pixar meet and greets? The photo of nemo had me dying... never knew he was a M&G

Inside Out took in over $100 million this weekend; Big Hero 6's box office was just over half that. Its opening take even blew away Frozen's. Inside Out is going to be huge...it's making Toy Story money right now. You'd think they'd capitalize on this and find some money to bring the characters to the parks. But Disney doesn't always do things that make a whole lot of sense.

Yes, that is the one. I cracked up at that too.

LOL, Disney can't afford it.

The movie was ADORABLE, but DS is OBSESSED with the Lava short. He loved the singing volcanos. I would love to get my hands on some sort of product with the volcanos on it. Probably never will because it was a short, but he was so so into them.

I don't think even Disney had any idea they would make $91 million in the first weekend. It did much better than predicted. But I do agree, that it would need to be all 5 characters for a M&G and that might be difficult. I would love to meet them, but I am very happy Baymax is still there, because we are going in August and can't wait to meet him!

I'm confused by the bold statement above. What company? I would assume it's all Disney.

Yes, still Disney. It's the Disney branch that funds movie promotions. They obviously didn't want to spend much as it appears they only allocated enough money for two character costumes.

they had Joy and Sadness for the special viewing 2 weeks ago for a Disney Park Blog meetup. They met after the movie inside the lobby of Cirque Du Soleil . We got a free download and we could take pics with our own devices

Oh so adorable! I love sadness. I just want to squeeze her.

 

[OhThePain]

I can understand not wanting a M&G without Fear, Disgust and Anger, but I would trade the 3 of them for Bing Bong. Then they can rotate Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong like they did for Mr. Fredricksen, Russell and Dug. Just sayin.

You would think but that would be sort of incorrect. When you are talking Disney there are a lot of subsidiaries and you just never can quite figure it all out. I believe this only comes in to being an issue with Pixar movies. Synergy is the name of the company (division?) that foots the bills for Hiro/Baymax and would have to pay for the Inside Out ones too
