Resort "Mascots"

[Scott MC]

Was just thinking about what would happen if each Disney Resort was assigned a Disney character as it's mascot. This character could appear on the merchandise, the artwork etc. I'm not really saying this would/could/should really happen, just thinking it'd add to the magic we sometimes complain is starting to slip.
If you could assign a character to a resort...who would it be?

A few come to mind...

Poly...Lilo & Stitch
GF...Mary Poppins
WL...Pocahontas
YC...Donald Duck

This is just for fun. Thoughts?

Hmmm....

PO - Tiana
FW - Jessie & Woody
CR-Buzz Lightyear
BC - Ariel

Just a few off the top of my head! lol

Yeah that would be real great. And then we could all cheer as the room rates went up another 10% for the pleasure of possibly getting a M&G with a character. Magical.

Ouch..was just trying to have some fun. I'm sorry you didn't choose to play along.

GF - Mary Poppins

We used to have something like it. Anyone remember Snow White and Dopey at The Disney Inn?

Pop Century could be either Tramp or Baloo, both featured in the resort. I think Tramp to add some adventure to everything.

Also felt badly for the poster who isn't joining in on the fun.

Then people would want a mug with that resort character on it. Can't sell generic stuff if you start adding specifics to the resorts.

But that's the point! I love RSM!

I like it...

Not sure why but I always felt that Chip & Dale had a WL feel to them.

I agree on Mary Poppins for GF, Buzz at CR is Buzz and Ft Wilderness is Woody & Jessie...nailed it!

Boardwalk - Goofy (No solid reason, just remember an old cartoon with him and he was on the boardwalk)

AKL - Tigger

Or Fort Wilderness Campgrounds. Don't they host the movies there? And give each person checking in a small bag of nuts (if no allergies but I'm going for the fun, not the everyday life).

Not too long ago, when CSR was the last resort to still have its own mug, the Three Caballeros appeared on the it. Still have that mug as it was awesome!

The DVC Hilton Head resort already has Shadow the dog as its mascot. Shadow is a real dog, and he is very popular with guests. He has a dog house on the porch of the main building and does Meet and Greets with guests. His paw prints are in the entrance floor of each villa. He is a lot if fun for everyone and behaves perfectly.

 

[declansdad]

Hmmm....

Can't think of any?

 

[matheke]

Some of the off property have unofficial mascots, Vero Beach-Crush and is Hilton Head Nala?

Saratoga Springs can be any of the Horse characters or all of them.
Maximus, Horace, Bullseye, Angus, Khan, Phillipe, Pegasus...

AKL just seems like the "Lion King" should be the characters there.

Agree with Port Orleans FQ being Tiana and friends, I would add POR as Song of the South Characters.

As a kid i remember characters at the neverland club at the polynesian. Goofy in particular.

I think Cinderella and prince charming at the GF
Buzz - contemporary
Lion king characters (rafiki?) - akl

 

[Flyz Ondewalz]

I thought I was the Beach Club Resort mascot???

Signed, Buzzy the fly, your Beach Club Resort guy...

 

[PixieDustandEeyore]

All Star Movies -> 101 Dalmations
All Star Sports -> Goofy (I remember some Goofy teaches sports cartoons)
All Star Music -> I think Mickey like in Mickey's Philharmagic

Carribean Beach Resort -> Jack Sparrow
I can't think of good ones for SSR or OKW .. tried and epic fail lol.

Here are my thoughts-
BC- Donald's nephews
YC- Donald and Daisy
BWI- Pooh and the Gang?
CSR- Woody
GF- since it's the flagship, Mickey
CBR- how about Peter Pan characters?
I actually can see Goofy at a lot of the resorts, just because he is in a wide range of activities, but the best fit to me is All Star Sports because of his sports cartoons.
