"Epcot Character Spot" to Close for Rehab in October

It has finally been confirmed the the popular Epcot Character Spot will be temporarily closed for refurbishment starting from Sunday, October 21, 2012 and it is expected to reopen in February 2013. 

We have been notified about the fact that Guests will still be able to meet Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto at a new (but temporary) Character Spot location near the Fountain View Ice Cream, and the operating hours will be the same as the before (park opening to park closing). In addition to that, it is important to notice that Goofy and Donald will NOT return to the refurbished Epcot Character Spot when it reopens. In fact, beginning from October 21, Goofy will start hosting meet-and-greets with Guests in the Main Entrance area (in a new themed area that is currently under construction), while Donald Duck will continue to meet Guests in Mexico.

See you again in February 2013, Epcot Character Spot!
