Vanellope Meet and Greet Closed To Make Way For Figment
It’s a sad day for Wreck-It-Ralph fans! The Vanellope von Schweetz meet and greet at EPCOT has officially closed.
Our MickeyBlogger Melissa popped by EPCOT this afternoon and noticed that the section of the Imagination Pavilion typically reserved for Vanellope is now covered in a black curtain.
The reason for the departure of Vanellope is to make way for a new meet and greet coming to the Imagination Pavilion this year! And, the character taking her place is pretty darn important. It’s FIGMENT!
So Vanellope’s departure is definitely bittersweet. We are sad to see her go but are excited that Figment is finally getting his rightful place as a meet-and-greet character in the Imagination Pavilion.
We were told that yesterday was Vanellope’s last day meeting guests at EPCOT.
During our visit this afternoon, we can confirm that Joy from Inside Out is still on hand to meet guests at this time.
We aren’t sure as of yet whether her meet and greet will remain or whether she will also be leaving the pavilion.
We don’t have an official opening date for the Figment meet and greet at EPCOT as of yet. However, this is a story that we will continue to follow closely and we promise to keep you posted.
We expect that we’ll hear something regarding Figment’s arrival in the days and weeks ahead so keep following along with us for more details!
In the meantime let’s give Vanellope a big warm send-off. EPCOT just won’t be the same without her.
