I went for the country bears, I agree they're a little scary looking, but it's been a long time since I've seen them. A couple on the list I wouldn't really consider "long lost" but that's just me

It would be GREAT to put out a few of the most unpopular characters. Many children just want an autograph, and maybe the lines wouldn't be as long for these other "lesser knowns" (why are Chip 'n Dale on that list???)

Are Chip n Dale lost? I saw them last time I was at Epcot (although admittedly it was a few years ago). We'll be sad if we don't see them on our next trip. My kids have really come to love them thanks to the old cartoons on youtube.

And I too would love to see a rotating less popular characters area. At least then you'd have a chance of seeing someone that you normally wouldn't. And it might introduce my kids to a movie that they aren't familiar with yet.

I believe Chip n Dale are always at Epcot. I don't know why they were on the voting list

Chip in Dale are at the Dance party in Tomorrowland. They rotate with Pluto and GOofy. They also are at the Garden Grill at Epcot, and the free nightly campfire are Fort Wilderness. By no means are they lost. lol

Chip and Dale are always in Epcot, there are near the Land pavilion, where the sign is that tells you the wait times for everything. Bdude and I see them everytime, the last time was 12/12. Hopefully they are still there!

Chip n Dale also used to appear in China, in those big round pointy hats and Mandarin jackets. Very cute.

wow, that was a long time ago. I don't remember them there in at least 10 years. Now bringing them back in that setting would have been long and lost, lol

I know they were there shortly after the park opened. Of course, when the park opened, they didn't want characters ANYWHERE. It wasn't "that kind of park" but they quickly (or guest demand, rather) added characters with overlays themed to the lands in which they appeared. Ever seen Goofy's viking get up? Hilarious.
