More walk-around/meet and greet character changes to come??

DIZNEYGUY · 07-21-2008, 03:27 PM

A while back, a very reliable source, who is with the Disney company, told me that Timon in The Festival of the Lion King will be getting the same animatronic update to his face as the characters from Dream Along With Mickey. Recently this was just reported as news. The same source also told me things that sounded pretty interesting. They said that the meet and greet Pluto may also be getting an animatronic update to his face so that there can be movement of his mouth, tongue, etc., instead of his tongue just hanging there. It was also said that the walk-around/meet and greet Daisey Duck will be getting a pony tail, just like in Mickey's Clubhouse. And finally, the walk-around/meet and greet Dale may be getting that little "fohawk" you sometimes see him have in cartoons, etc. A lot of information but what are some of your thoughts?

I heard that Timon from FOTLK will be getting an AA update. I would like to see the other updates. If they are going to update Daisy w/ a pony tail, does that mean we will be see more of her?
