This St. Patrick's Day morning, I guess I had a little luck of the Irish, because when browsing the web over breakfast and coffee, I was surprised to hear that as part of the Disneyland Resort refreshing the Mickey's Toontown land, a new meetable walkaround character is joining them... one that's never been in meetable park character form before...

PETE! A.K.A. Peg Leg Pete, Black Pete, Big Bad Pete, Peter Pete, etc. Me and several other furries and Disney theme park fans online were really excited about this, as after all these years, Pete is finally a meetable character at the Disney parks! I was often hoping someday Pete would be a Disney theme park character, but of course, since he was originally a villain to Mickey and Minnie Mouse (hence Pete being a cat), they would have to make him look somewhat less intimidating to small kids. I figured they were going to go with his friendly overalls look ala "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" and its' follow-up shows, the way they ended up doing.

Hmm, now that Pete is a regular Disneyland character, maybe for a future Disney park castle stage show they can do a live reenactment of "Steamboat Willie!"
