Tinkerbell attraction at WDW

Here is how I see it. She is in a beloved attraction Peter Pan

and does not deserve a ride unto herself. A face character would be interesting but I think you would also end up with all the new friends that Disney is creating and I do not care about those characters at all. I am sure that there might be some young girls that would be thrilled to meet them and I am sure that is the demographic that they are playing to. Anywho that's my Two Cents

Sounds like Disney trying yet again to dilute it's history with spin-offs and merchandising opportunities.

I wonder what the height requirement will be!

Um, I really have no problem with a greet but not a ride or attraction of their own. My concern would be that they spend all this time telling everyone how small she is so I would hope you need to go into a "shrinking" room of some kind before and after the meet to keep up the illusion. Otherwise it is spitting on the same story line they have protected for so long.

But I personally have no problem with a meet and greet area where I could meet cute actresses at all!

well it would be the same thing as adventure in inner space all need a witch to shrink you and put a limit how long you'd be small just like body wars or other rides at disney anything is possible.

You can bet on one thing... when the face meet and greets start, they are going to need to make sure there are plenty of handlers available for Tinkerbell. I got a feeling she is going to just as "popular" with certain types of visitors as Jasmine and Ariel...

I don't particularly care either way. But, it might be a good use of the old Skyway buiding in Fantasyland. Lots of stroller parking for the young girls they are trying to get. Great proximity to Peter Pan's Flight, for the tie in and decent proximity to Ariel's grotto for maximum "Meet and greet-ability".

I don't think Disney thinks they are diluting. Wink

They just see it as milking EVERY LAST POSSIBLE dollar out of a character/image/opportunity.

I'm a big Tink fan, but I'm not sure that I like the idea of a life-size Tink. I can almost let it slide that shes on one of the floats in the parade, but at least there they keep her elevated a bit, so you dont have anything to compare her size to. You just kind of let it slip by. But if you're standing right next to her...

I also dont need a whole world of fairies. It steals some of Tink's thunder

I think the Faries thing completely takes away from Tink's actual character. She is defined by Peter Pan...no words, no height...all attitude!

I think it is a horrible marketing thing...it will probably go the way of the Disney Afternoon and other brief hot for a minute Dinsey things...

Let's just hope the next thing on the agenda isn't "Hannah Montana--the theme park production"

I have no problem with this, and my kids and I have had a blast with the Disney Fairies website.

I agree with CTKnight. I'd prefer they find a way to keep the allusion of her small size if possible. And I'd heard rumors to that effect a few years ago.
