Or I can see people short on time skipping this queue.

It would give hope of a revival or it being shipped to Paris, Hong Kong or the upcoming Shanghai all which do not have a house for Mickey.

But that was meant to have been used during the Magical Moment Festival. Its a nice idea if the Houses are in storage ready to be used again. If not I'm sure the archives have already taken items of vaule to be stored safely away. We may see something of interest at a future D23 Expo perhaps.

ORWEN: I thought that bulldozer thingie even LOOKED like a dragon! ORDDU: Originally we had heard that the homes would be put into storage. But what we saw happening, instead, was most unnerving to say the least. ORWEN: Now whenever Mickey and Minnie come to Florida, they're homeless! ORGOCH: Got room fer homeless mice?

Seems like a magician and a circus would be quite a good match? After all, what other characters would they put into the meet&greet which is supposed to go in there? The princesses will get their spot in Fantasyland (replacing the Snow White dark ride).

I just really wonder whom they are going to put into the circus tents? As much as I like Donald, Goofy and the Chipmunks, I don't see them attracting a lot of people without Mickey himself... And, EPCOT Explorer, aren't you off to WDW soon (saw your weather discussion)? Have a great trip and very little rain!!
