Pretty sure it's the first time 2/3 of them have appeared publicly (not at an event of some kind) in many, many, years... Angel is the only one I can't be sure of.

Love this, even though I’m now really jealous. They need to do more things like this.

Certainly.

Somehow this doesn't seem right... Goofy Snax sounds a bit safe..

You do realize that you can state an opinion and listening to the opinions of others and have a conversation about the similarities and differences without arguing, right?

Personally, while I may find some of it cringey (GoofyCore) I agree there should be more interactions like these. Playing a game with Rapunzel and Flynn is that “Disney Magic” many of us lament the loss of in recent years. I hope these unscheduled interactions continue.

Uhh...this is a forum...debate and disagreements will happen and will be voiced.

I took the argument “against” these things to be, “Okay, but what else? This should be the norm, not a special event.”

The problem is you’re running around the forums pushing back against people who have also made their choices simply because you don’t agree with them. Like has been said, not everyone is going to like everything. If you and your kids don’t like these offerings for the summer, that’s fine! But that does not give you or anyone else permission to bristle against anyone who doesn’t feel the same which is the route so many of you all have taken with this. It’s like you all are actively upset that children are enjoying themselves at Disney.

Because those other, more cramped parks aren’t the most attended theme park in the world and have a guest base primarily of locals rather than MK’s out of towners. You just can’t approach MK the same you do the others.

Really don’t know how people can look at this and not see it as an absolute positive. This kinda thing is gonna stick with those kids. May even be the highlight of some of them’s vacation. The continued pushback from people on here on all this stuff is genuinely confusing.

I hope at least some things rolled out for CKS stick around long term ... Feels like bringing back the type of thing that makes Disney special

WDW needs more character interactions, like Disneyland, and not just M&Gs. HT @Drew the Disney Dude
