Thanks for the info. The kids have met some at other events, and lordamighty (that's a word in the south), have we seen some videos. Let's just say brunch on Sunday (for the World Cup) was super easy - the kids got to watch ride videos while at their favorite gastropub! They were so good for the entire match.
Regarding characters, because all of a sudden these are important, is there any site that covers up to date character changes? I know these are, obviously, a much more fluid thing, and I'm just wanting to make sure that we manage expectations regarding who we might meet in any park as we cruise in and out.
