News Round Up 2016

News(?)

KennyThePirate's character locator is showing that Bolt is meeting in Hollywood Studios in the Great Movie Ride Courtyard. It was updated on 05/30.

Since we talk about characters leaving locations (Marie), I figured it's worthwhile to know when a new character appears.

Side question: I get when people get upset that characters they like are no longer meeting (Marie), and sometimes their departure is said to be due to budget cuts...but if other characters are popping up in different locations, isn't it a net gain/net loss of zero?

For example, Stitch used to meet in Tomorrowland, then he went away. Marie used to meet at the Main Street Flagpole, then she went away. Stitch now meets at the Main Street Flagpole, and Bolt is now at the Great Movie Ride Courtyard. That's still two characters, probably with the same "friend". I see how it can be a loss for Magic Kingdom, but if they are adding characters to other parks, isn't it break even? Maybe I'm not understanding fully?

It's still -1 because of the loss of Cinderellas step mother.

Maybe this is just me...but of all the characters they could have chosen to add as a Meet and Greet..BOLT???

During my February trip I saw Max (Goofy's Son) meeting in the Great Movie Ride Courtyard.

I agree the choice is a tad odd, but I'd rather see a character that was in the parks for a "limited time" come back opposed to having a character added to a park that I can meet in another park.

Max is a sub character who appears randomly.

Bolt showed up during the dance parties (along with Sebastian, Robin Hood, Baloo, and probably others I'm forgetting). Of those, Sebastian and Bolt are the only 2 who don't appear elsewhere (Robin Hood is in Fantasmic! and pops up to meet periodically). Sebastian can't do much outside of posing for photos, so Bolt would be the best choice of those.

Not sure if that's the line of thinking that went into adding Bolt, but if they already had individuals trained for him, and they had the costume, it makes sense to at least make him a quick addition

I'm confused. Obviously this is not for all the rooms. Does this replace single bed rooms?

When is this starting?

Not one of Disney's historical greats. It was my favorite ride as a child.

Disney is actually saving money by doing this. Marie demanded more money. Everyone knows how stuckup and demanding cats are. Meanwhile, Bolt is being paid in belly rubs.

I'm surprised they don't have Dumbo doing meet and greets. That guy works for peanuts.

Looking at the reservation site, looks like it is shifting to be Sundays and Tuesdays instead of Tuesdays and Saturdays. Still $69/adult and $59/child

Does this work thru the Mickey wrist band thru the FP+ line? I am just wondering because what is stopping people making breakfast reservations to also go on the rides when its 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of a breakfast at BOG.
