Really sad if all of those characters disappear from AK. Most of all, the "welcome show". I think it's adorable and always a treat to start AK as early as possible.
I'm not sure why you would get rid of those characters now. I could understand if Camp Minnie Mickey becomes something Avatar related soon, but now? Weird.
Sad to read about the characters disappearing. I always liked seeing Pocahantas.
I caught the Welcome during my last trip a couple of weeks ago and I'm glad I did!
Love the Cheshire Cafe rename, though!
Pocahontas is still appearing in Camp Minnie-Mickey.
She only left Rafiki's Planet Watch.
