That wasn't what I meant. But that's a good reason too.

I just checked to see what day of the week the 24th falls onto, and it's a friday. I think I might be able to drag PirateGal to a meet and greet. Is there any truth to a Tomorrowland party?

DH and I will be in line for a photo of Tink and her fairy friends. We love getting our photos taken with the characters, we're like big kids. You're never to old when you're down at DISNEY.
Next trip: 11/24 thru 12/5 at the POP

IMO, Horace and Clarabelle are just fine in Town Square and need to stay in the parks (for one thing, those two characters are also Walt Disney originals and are some of Mickey's oldest and dearest friends...and they've been around longer than Pluto, Goofy or Donald). There are a number of people who do recognize them anyway and I don't think that they're THAT unfamiliar to the guests. Besides, they both have appeared quite a bit in recent projects and occasional new merchandise items, so
People mistake different characters for others all the time anyway, even with the most popular ones (Pluto often gets called 'Goofy', Mr. Smee sometimes gets called one of the 7 Dwarfs, etc.).
Besides, Donald and Goofy cannot appear in Town Square for several reasons, with one of those big factors being that they appear in the castle shows, so they can't greet guests in Town Square and perform in the castle shows at the same time. It would compromise the integrity of the characters.
I also agree with the "potential for really long lines" reason. So, Town Square (at least to me) probably is better off sticking to the more secondary characters (Horace, Clarabelle, the Pinocchio unit, etc.) and only half of the VIP characters (Pluto, Daisy, Chip and Dale).
I assume Minnie will be staying in the Judge's Tent with Mickey permenantly unless she is moved into her Gazebo at her house( I feel alot would want their kids in a 'solo' pic with Mickey instead of both)...
From what I understand, they reason why Minnie was put into the Judge's Tent is because a large number of guests wanted a location where they could meet both Mickey and Minnie together, so the Judge's Tent was probably the best choice.
There's still plenty of locations where guests meet the main mice individually.
Or worse yet....maybe the name 'Toontown Fair' will change soon and the 'Toontown' elements like Donald's boat and the Barnstormer will be removed....nah couldn't happan...you don't think this is Disney's upcoming plan do you??
I can't see that happening.
But I sort of agree that they should put Donald and Goofy back in Toontown...and have them do their meet-and-greets outside their respective attractions (Goofy at the Barnstormer, Donald at his boat, etc.). Maybe they'll do this at a later date. Who knows?

The official story from Ent - that House of Mouse is just another one of their "roles" so while in the show they are dating, in reality Goofy is just friends with Clarabelle and she is dating Horace.
You get no argument from me on that one, Captain Jessica.
I also prefer to see Goofy and Clarabelle as just being 'good friends' rather than an 'item'.
Horace is Clarabelle's true love and always will be. And it makes more sense to have a horse and a cow be a couple rather than a cow and a dog.

Getting back on topic, count me in as one of those looking forward to meeting those lovely fairies when their new location opens next month.
-
I'm so excited to meet Tink and friends!
-
Do we know how long this will be around? I am coming back "home" in May (taking 2 daughters, ages 4 and 5) and again in Sept (taking 3 yr old daughter and son).
I know the girls would love to meet Tink

No plans for a meal.
We will still have the Princess Room and the Fairies Room. The Disney Classics/VIP's have moved to other locations in the park. There will be no one else moving into the third room.
Do you know why the head of Walt Disney Entertainment at WDW announced it would be the 24th? If it is the 26th Disney should announce that. If guests show up on the 24th and the room is not open there will be some unhappy people.

I must still be a purist who thinks that Tink should never talk and above all, never be the size of an adult!!!!
But I also see the kids side of it, I know any little girl would love to see her, heck, even my DW would love it!!

Reminder: the guests are going to be shrunk down to the size of the fairies before they meet them, so technically, Tink and her fairy friends will not be "adult-sized" at all.
Also, the only reason why the fairies will be able to speak to guests in English is because of the fact that they've been reduced to "fairy-size", thus allowing them to communicate with her better. And when they return to normal size, Tink will once again become mute with her vocals returning to being limited to pixie bell sounds.
So, all in all, I wouldn't worry if I were you.

Because I might be wrong. I'm not Jim Hill, I won't demand me being right, LOL.

I cannot even tell you how excited my girls are. They live, eat, breathe and sleep faries. They are so excited to be able to meet them!
