I recently read a post from a Cast Member that stated they were currently auditioning for KP's in the park. But I don't think she is walking around yet. I hope they have her out by October, 'cause my 4 dd's will flip out! They love KP (and I admit it, so do dw and I . . . KP rules!)
How exciting that they might be putting KP out there - she sure is popular with our 1st grade crew! All the bd parties this year are KP theme (last year was Disney princess lol)
Patience, patience- she's coming. I'll let everyone know when she starts making appearances. It should be sometime this year. They've chosen performers but I don't think they've started training yet.
I haven't heard anything other than that they have cast a few Rons and Kims. I haven't seem them do any training yet. My guess is she'd most likely be at MGM. I've heard she may only be making appearances for specials. I'd recommend writing to Disney and tell them your desire for Kim to make regular appearances!
Another Mom who love KP! I noticed the last time we did Disney that it is geared towards little ones and older ones. There is a whole group that love Raven, Lizzie, and KP. They need to add some stuff with that group in mind. My daughter has no desire to see princesses anymore, she wants the girls that are strong. To quote the Cheetah Girls.......I can rescue myself!!
I was there last February, and the only naked mole rats I saw were the real things! They are in a walk through educational tour around the Kilamanjaro Safaris. But man, they aren't nearly as cute as Rufus!
