i wonder when "next month" Planning for April is the worst lol

 

[Lisa F]

this is awesome! My son's favorite 2 pixar characters! (sadness and baymax)

 

[belleincanada]

Yes! (Although I wish my homegirl Disgust was going to be there too)

Thanks for sharing! Kenny the Pirate had posted they were supposed to start meeting in February, and my
fingers have been crossed since that they'll be around for our trip in the third week of April. Great to see this info from an official source, although I do wish they could be a bit more specific with the timing...

I'm silly excited about that. I love Sadness! (the character, not in general).

And we are going "this" month, too bad.

Are there soft openings for character meets?

 

[elmoandzoey]

Happy happy happy! We LOVE Sadness! Well, the character that is

 

[jsbowl16]

I wonder if they will be included in the Character Spot fastpass???

Are there soft openings for character meets?

Not usually because brand new characters and their CM friends train behind the scenes before their official start date.

I'm so happy about this! DS and I just watched Inside Out and we loved it, he'll be so excited to meet them!

My little boy keeps asking about meeting Joy and I am so happy he will get to do so now. I'm wondering if she will be there most of the day/night. I can't remember if fast passes were used for this? And if they did have that option should I use it for this. (Now if they would just get Sheriff Callie at like Hollywood Studios). I kinda wish Anger was included too- he would be funny!

Baymax meets from park open until the park closes without any breaks. That would be the same for the Inside Out characters: non-stop meet and greet.

When we met Baymax two weeks ago, I didn't notice a FP tapstile or even room for a separate FP line. If FP does become an option, it would be good to FP the meet as the lines should be long.

Yes! (Although I wish my homegirl Disgust was going to be there too)

Amen! They definitely need Disgust!!

here are some Q&A from the HUB
Will Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Goofy still appear at Epcot Character Spot?
Yes. The original Epcot Character Spot is being expanded to the other side of the Innoventions West breezeway in order to add new experiences with Baymax, Joy and Sadness.


Will Disney FastPass+ service be available for character greetings with Baymax, Joy and Sadness?
No, these new experiences will not offer Disney FastPass+ service. However, Disney FastPass+ service will continue to be available for Guests planning to meet Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Goofy at Epcot Character Spot.


Can Guests see Baymax, Joy and Sadness together after waiting in one queue, as they do when meeting Mickey, Minnie and Goofy?
No, there will be separate queues for each of the three experiences at Epcot Character Spot (1-Mickey/Minnie/Goofy, 2-Baymax, 3-Joy and Sadness)

I'm glad that Baymax will still be there to meet and in his own location. I also look forward to meeting Joy and Sadness. Husband and I may have to wear our Disgust and Anger shirts
