Dis Characters Coming To MK?

Ever since it's a small world at Disneyland was updated not too long ago with Disney characters (such as Peter Pan in England, Aladdin in Egypt, Lilo in Hawaii, etc.), people have been wondering if the Magic Kingdom was next to get these characters in the classic Fantasyland Boat Ride. The attraction has been closed since August 1st, and isn't set to re-open again for a month or so, which leaves some people wondering 'Is the update to get Disney Characters?' Disney reports it is down for refurb to fix the queue, but that doesn't mean they will spoil everything. WDW MouseTales found some merchandise that might confirm Characters coming to IASW: 


First, this miniature snow globe features native characters already in IASW, but also has Peter Pan, who is not in the MK version of the attraction.



Also, this magnet features a bunch of Disney Characters, most who of which are featured in the Disneyland version of the ride.



The same design on a coffee mug:



So after seeing these images of new merchandise, many wonder and worry if the refurb will be used to include new Disney Characters. Some say that the refurb isn't long enough to include new dolls, as the Disneyland refurb was a lengthy fix (also used to totally refine the water depth of the canal, however). But we never know, it could be true.


There are some reports that this is just merchandise that was once at Disneyland, and just shipped to Florida and changed to 'Magic Kingdom' script on it, as reportedly there was Matterhorn merchandise sold as Expedition Everest merchandise. We never know.
