That’s quite a character lineup! The real question is: does Lotso Huggin’ Bear still smell of sweet strawberries?
Is there anyone missing you would like to see added? Who would you be the most excited to meet? Personally, I’d like to see C-3PO & R2D2 added near Star Tours. And of course, you know I’m dreaming up a Muppets character encounter of sorts… shoot, I’d take Sweetums at this point.

You’ll mostly find her wandering around Orlando’s biggest theme parks snapping pics and sharing tips… or probably talking about The Great Movie Ride.
