It will be interesting to see if they try to explain how you can always meet him in the Lost River Delta, or at hist house in the other park. I can't think of any other parks/situations where there are two established meet and greet locations so close together (other than Santa at DLR, but he's not really a Disney character, and has his own laws of physics to abide by). And I was unaware that they had added a Saudlugos Amigos Greeting Dock...

Considering virtually every special event at both parks features Mickey I don't think this M&G changes the dynamic. The character crew will have fun working out their schedules considering their involvement in many o TDS' shows and spectacles!

It was an attempt to infuse some atmosphere into an area of the park that can be very quiet. There has never been much point for anyone to meander on that stretch of pathway before.

This is actually disappointing because that is an area that could have housed a large E-ticket instead of some dumb Camp Minnie Mickey style "greeting trails."
