A long-awaited character finally made their debut at a Disney Park this month, and the crowds gathered and flocked to see them.
Earlier this year, at the D23 Expo, Josh D’Amaro, the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, announced a lot of news for Disney fans. Among this were new movies, tv shows, new character meets ‘n’ greets, and more. Of these, what had many fans on the edge of their seats was when he brought out Jon Favreau to celebrate the arrival of one very special character set.
