It’s Out With Merida and In With Mirabel
As we previously reported here at MickeyBlog, today is officially the last day for Merida’s meet and greet in her Scottish surroundings at Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom.
The beloved Scottish Princess is being evicted to make way for another popular heroine – Mirabel from Disney’s Encanto.
The space will get a bit of a refurb and we suspect will be magically transformed into the Madrigal household.
For those sad about Merida’s departure, don’t worry, our MickeyBloggers spoke to cast members at this meet and greet location and were told that Merida will be added to the rotation of characters that will appear in the gazebo at Liberty Square.
So we won’t have to miss Merida but we will miss the meet and greet location where Merida has been making appearances for years!
Fairytale Gardens in its current form is decorated with beautiful tapestries, banners, and other Scottish artifacts.
Another highlight of Merida’s Fantasyland location was that you could often see her three brothers Harris, Hubert, and Hamish and in their adorable bear cub form.
No word yet on when Mirabel will move into this space. Disney originally reported the Fall of 2023.
This is a story that we will continue to follow closely and we’ll keep you updated!
