Long Lost Friends week is scheduled to be at Magic Kingdom the week of January 21st-27th.
UPDATE: The actual dates will be January 21-27, not 21-26 as previously reported.
The MAGIC KINGDOM will host the third round of the Limited Time Magic from January 21-27, 2013
Characters who MIGHT appear include:
Clarabelle & Horace
Ludwig Von Drake & Scrooge McDuck
The Robin Hood unit – (I assume this to be Robin Hood, Prince John, Sherriff of Notthingham and Friar Tuck perhaps? Wouldn’t it be great to see Maid Marion?)
3 Little Pigs (Fiddler, Fifer and Practical Pig) and the Big Bad Wolf
Pinocchio unit – (I assume this to be Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio, Gepetto, Foulfellow and Gideon perhaps? It would be awesome to see Stromboli)
My thoughts: Ludwig von Drake, the Robin Hood characters and the 3 little pigs with the Big Bad Wolf are a great offering for the lineup. Clarabelle and Horace don’t make many meet and greets, but are avaialble to dance with at the Frontierland Hoedown. I think this is a pretty good offering for a character week. There are a number of characters who easily could have (and perhaps still may?) appear including John Smith, Li Shang, Shan Yu, Megara, Hercules, Launchpad McQuack, Darkwing Duck and more. There are as many as 7 characters on the list that I haven’t met, so I might just run down for a day or two to meet them.
When Disney first listed this as a potential offer on its blog, they mentioned that fans would have the opportunity to VOTE on which characters will appear. That doesn’t appear to be the case for Walt Disney World. Perhaps it will take place at Disneyland or they could always add Long Lost Friends Week again to the schedule.
