...But I am going to MTTF because I know some here haven't had the chance to or their goodbye didn't go as planned.

How right you are! You are a good man MadEye! May your trip be big tour group free

[MadEye]

Heading out to the parks today, mainly to say goodbye to MTTF and ride Barnstormer one more time before it changes to Great Goofini.

Will be taking pics so look for a Trip Report (at the trip reports board) and some photos here.

Are there any long term plans on where guests will be able to meet Mickey once everything is done? You could always count on Mickey to be there in Toontown before.

Is today the last day for the Barnstormer? or is it the last day you can make it there before things start shutting down?

Supposedly you will be able to meet mickey and minnie in Exposition Hall. I believe that once MTTF is shut, Barnstormer is down for the refurb.

Before their meet and greet location is complete (construction) in Exposition Hall, they will be temporarily in Tomorrowland...

Had plans for the rest of the week so today was supposed to be the last day to get there before they shut it down for it's makeover. Plans changed and a few BTGs (Brazilian Tour Group for those who've never heard the term BTG) made it impossible to go to Mickey and Minnie's houses. But there is always tomorrow as the plans are now for next week.

By the way, we could see a lot from the top of Barnstormers lift hill. Belle's Cottage is taking form!

I'm a little confused on the Exposition Hall. I read that the Princesses would have a spot there after the refurb was over. Wasn't the point of all those princess lands not to have a central meet and greet for them anymore??

There will be a new Snow White & 7 Dwarves ride (a mini-coaster in the mines), so Snow White's Scary Adventure will be closed and turned into a meet'n'greet for the Princesses.

That is correct. The whole pixie hollow idea pretty much got scratched in favor of the mine train. The princesses relocation to SWSA is also supposed to be temporary. However, I fear that might end up being permanent.

They're not doing the Tinker Bell stuff anymore? That's great! I wouldn't have minded Peter Pan based stuff (that actually would have been really cool!), but I didn't like the idea of the Pixie Hollow brand of Tinker Bell because I just don't think it's a "classic" or will have lasting power.

Curses!! Foiled by the BTG's again!! Those huge groups were why I couldn't get very many photos at Mickey and Minnie's houses this past trip
Glad your plans changed and you can get back again That's cool that you can see a lot from the Barnstormer ~ wonder how many times the CM will let you go around so you can look?!

With the way they have changed Tinker Bell I have to agree with you. Tinkerbell used to be the character that little girls came to love when they grew too old for princesses. She was also a favorite for many adults but now they are changing her to another little girls character. They have ruined the sassy, jealous, misbehaving image of the REAL Tinker Bell!

Unless I ride it nonstop 50 times or something, I doubt they'd question why.

Me, too. I really think we have enough princesses with all the different storybook areas, which is why I was confused by the meet n greet.
