The one-day celebration set to take place on August 19 2018 will bring special character meet and greets to all four theme parks, exclusive Animated Magic Shots and more.

Full details will be released later, but check out the PhotoPass Day details from last year for an idea of what to expect.

I think it is really lame that there are so few actual characters and that the event has been reduced to mostly magic shots....come on Disney- open up those purse strings a bit.
They bring out Bolt to Animal Kingdom.....Yet another odd ball move not have Nick & Judy out but...Whatever...And what's the point of bringing back a Cancelled M&G From 5 months ago for just one day....*Facepalm*
Cruella, wish we could meet her daily again. Such a quality character.

We hope you get well soon.

Right! Plus this is just a promotion to get people to buy into PhotoPass and to get fan sites like this one to generate free ads. I wouldn't call it entertainment. In my last 20+ visits there hasn't been a single PhotoPass photo worth printing out.
Bolt at Animal Kingdom today

Bingo.

And they're featuring characters that were regularly out just a few months ago. MAGICAL! lol

But guests will line up.

It's gone downhill. Why do they even bother? Lots of these magic shots could be used regularly. Same for the characters.

Use actual RARE characters. Not ones you've just made "rare".

They phone it in and the average guests (and us, I suppose) let them. I'll never forget how phoned in the last 24 hour party was. So bad.

Who's in charge of things like this? @MansionButler84 ? @asianway ? Can either of you give me insight into how things like this come about and who plans them?

You’ll never get a true rare character in a park op setting again. Thanks Villains Unleashed for that.

Or their poor management on that?

Do they not realize they create this insane demand by making just about every character "rare"?
↩ replying to Kman101
There’s insane lines for Pinocchio today. I don’t blame management anymore I blame the guests
↩ replying to asianway
OK.

I blame both.

You don't see how poor management has led to characters being so in-demand they don't even want to be bothered?

Why is there insane lines?

Because Pinocchio isn't regularly out. Like he was 10 years ago. Like Clarabelle and Horace were. Like Hook and Smee were.

How can you not also hold management accountable? I know you seem to look down on the guests who visit WDW but the demand is there because whoever controls these things has created this problem. Not the guests. But they don't help, either.

I only hold them accountable inasmuch they have yet to figure out a way to monetize the characters
By having a plethora of characters each and every day, throughout each day, in each park, the lines and "specialness" of the appearance would likely significantly lessen.
