RUMOR
There’s a new rumor going around that Jake, Izzy (pink bandana and shirt), Captain Hook and Mr Smee will be taking over the breakfast and lunch “Play and Dine” character meals at Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood Studios. The current meal isn’t nearly as popular as Walt Disney World Entertainment would like to see. It’s seen as an underperforming offering and they hope by adding Izzy as a new character and bringing Hook and Smee out more will inspire new bookings.
The move would send Agent Oso and June into the rare/retired character status and Handy Manny will continue to meet in his usual location. I think it would be even more fun to put Peter Pan into the meal (he has appeared on this show) and have him interact with Capt. Hook. We used to have some great interactions with those to characters a few years ago in the Magic Kingdom. If they had to drop Smee to add Pan, I think it would bring a broader appeal.
Share the love!

We are going to the breakfast in three weeks, I love the idea of changing it. What about poor Cubby being left out? I know it won't be changed by the time we arrive but I wish they could have. Now it is time to change Crystal Palace to a Toy Story theme. I am tired off Pooh being everywhere.

Would love these changes, but my 4 year old son would much rather see Smee than Pan to my surprise!
