Disney Character Performer Reprimanded For Behavior With Children

Via InsideTheMagic.net

Mickey’s Toontown reopened at Disneyland Park on Sunday, March 19, after a lengthy redesign to make the Disney Park land more accessible and entertaining to all Guests. The land boasts three immersive attractions: Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, Chip ‘N’ Dale’s GADGETCoaster, and the newest addition, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, inside the el CapiTOON Theater. It’s centered around CenTOONial Park, a relaxing grassy area shaded by Walt Disney’s dreaming tree.

The reopened Disneyland Toontown also welcomes back beloved character meet-and-greets with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Pluto, Goofy, and more. And for the first time, Pete the cat will interact with Guests!

During the reopening day, TikToker @salamandurr_ shared an adorable video of Pluto spinning on a playground toy to the delight of little ones around him while adults waited eagerly for exclusive popcorn buckets:

But unfortunately, the magical moment was quickly halted after the camera cut. After another Disneyland Park Guest commented on their excitement about the experience, the TikToker shared some sad news.

“Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll see it again,” the Guest wrote. “The manager came by and quickly told the handler to stop and get him up.”

Disney Parks fans weren’t happy. “I hope y’all boo’ed,” said @mr.serr.

“Well it made everyone’s day and that’s what counts at the end of the day!” @rockin_disney wrote.

“Party pooper,” joked @puppetcity69420.

Of course, Disney Cast Members never want to ruin the fun for no reason. Most likely, Pluto playing on the interactive equipment was a safety issue or threatened the integrity of his costume.

Pluto Statue Officially Announced for Fab 50

As the old saying goes, “every dog has its day.” And with today being National Dog Day, it’s only fitting that Pluto has officially been revealed to be part of the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection at Walt Disney World.

Mickey Mouse’s beloved pooch will have his statue featured at the Magic Kingdom in the park’s hub, as was previously revealed on the cover of the upcoming book A Portrait of Walt Disney World: 50 Years of the Most Magical Place on Earth.

ESPN’s chairman, Jimmy Pitaro, made the announcement on Disney’s Instagram channel.

New Pluto Character Bus Wrap Arrives

There is a new bus wrap featuring Pluto pull into the station. This new style follows along with the Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse bus wraps that are simple but have a pop of character!

Outfitted with yellow, green, and white stripes, the bus wrap matches Pluto well!

On a window on the right side of the bus, Pluto is happy to greet Guests as they enter the vehicle.

When the bus pulls around, the left side showcases Pluto as he stretches across two windows, seemingly running with the bus.

I have to say that of the “Fab Five” Disney characters (Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald and Goofy), my favorite sidekick for Mickey Mouse of these has always been Pluto. This week, our Learn to Draw animation series continues with a lesson on how to draw one of Mickey’s best friends.

Enjoy and Stay Healthy!
