Hiro Hamada and Baymax coming to Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios this fall.

Disney officially confirmed  a rumor that I posted on June 30, 2014 when I heard that Oswald wouldn’t be coming to Hollywood Studios. The space currently filled by Wreck-it Ralph and Vanellope inside the Animation area will become a meet and greet for Hiro Hamada and Baymax from the upcoming movie Big Hero 6.

The movie opens November 7, so I would expect their meet and greet to begin shortly before the movie opens.  It seems likely that Hiro could be played by a face character, because Disney is casting a face character for Hiro.  I’d like to see Baymax in his hero form.

“Big Hero 6 is an action-filled adventure with comedic moments that tells the story of Hiro Hamada who is a robotics prodigy living in a fictional city known as San Fransokyo who invents a robot named Baymax.  He has to turn his invention into a super hero who helps fight crime with the help of Wasabi, Honey Lemon, GoGo Tomago and Fred.

What do you think about Hiro and Baymax replacing Ralph and Vanellope at Hollywood Studios?

While Ralph is a cool character, we are just discovering Baymax (BH6 just became available on Comcast) and are bummed that they are gone in less than a year. I didn't even look to see who is "in style" at the moment, but I believe the Incredibles are there -- they were there three years ago at our last visit too. Maybe their lines will be shorter this time.

Incredibles are no longer meeting. Click characters and look over the lists or subscribe to www.characterlocator.com for current schedules.

Thank you for all the info! :) We're going the week after BH6 premieres... what are the chances of them being there that early?

I stopped promising my kids certain characters after the 2nd trip and said "We will try to see x character."

I would rather see Ralph and Vanellope. I'm guessing they are going to be retired permanently?

Don't know about permanently, but they won't be offering regular meet and greets.
