Unleash the Pirate Meet Up
Friday, September 13th at 10:30 PM – Dinosaur Gertie’s
I’ll be providing a brief meet up at the Unleash the Villains event. EuroRob and I will plan to be at Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction for a short time at 10:30 PM. If you see me in the park during the day or evening Friday or you come to the meet up, I’ll have a free “I’m a character locator” button for you too, just ask!
Vidia to be replaced by Terance
Terance will take his place as the Autumn Fairy at Tinker Bell’s Magical Nook in the Magic Kingdom beginning September 13. Vidia will not be the regular fairy that meets opposite Tink beginning the 13th. She may show up randomly, but not regularly.
Princess Fairy Tale Hall opening
As I told you a few days back, Princess Fairy Tale Hall will officially open on September 18th. It will be located in the former Snow White’s Scary Adventures ride location in Fantasyland across from Philharmagic. I had heard they would do some soft openings, but those aren’t appearing on the schedules. There will be a media preview of sorts on September 13th, but they are trying to flip the switch from Town Square Theater to Fairy Tale Hall overnight. Last day for TST meets will be 17th and first day for FTH will be the 18th.
The Princesses will continue to offer Legacy Fastpass (paper) and FP+. I’d assume they would allow you to use the paper FP to meet Cinderella/Aurora OR Rapunzel/Snow White. If my assumption is correct, you’d need to gather two paper FP to meet both duets. We’ll see how it all ‘pans’ out in the next few days :)
Water Park Characters no longer appearing
Stitch & Lilo at Typhoon Lagoon and Goofy at Blizzard Beach have completed their seasonal meets at the water parks and should not return until Spring/Summer 2014. It’s normal operations to have this occur, just wanted to inform fans that they aren’t available in these locations.
Share the love!

Kenny, what about Mickey at TST? Will he still be there? Or no more TST? My daughter wants to see Mickey AND princesses. Two stops now? TST AND PFTH?

I have a question about Terance. We've tried for a few years to catch him. If I hit his meet and greet during my visit beginning on the 13th (I may try that day or later in trip) is he pretty much always going to be with Tink or do they rotate someone else in? I know you can't promise but are the odds now in my favor :)
Or is there a shot he may be with her during MNSSHP as well? Thanks in Advance!

Is Gertie's a good spot to camp out for the fireworks at 11?

Not sure. I would think you could see and hear them there, but not have the hat as a focal point
