I've known about this for a while now, because I was actually there live watching this as it was being filmed!

WALL-E was actually done with his set, the line had been closed off and he was just about go backstage, but then his host spotted this boy and of course they just had to let him meet WALL-E.
I love WALL-E's reaction, as well as his host's. One of the photo pass CM's was cracking up!
Some official Disney camera crews were there as well, and I believe that they used this for some promotional material.

that is some of the magical moments that are great about Disney that I love. Granted I wish Wall-E made a visit to WDW for a while but oh well.

Unfortunately, I don't think that WALL-E will be vising any of the parks anytime soon, at least not unless its a controlled environment.
Apparently the Disney lawyers are nervous because WALL-E is very heavy and they are afraid that if he were to roam around in the parks, he could accidentally run over a guest's foot with his treads.
That's why he has never been seen roaming around any of the parks.

you are partly right about the lawyers... unfortunately WALL*E does weigh about 500 lbs. and could hurt a guest if not controlled properly, but also they found his treds could be problematic to the roadway... he being so heavy that on a hot Florida day and not spread out like a parade float... could mess the asphalt up.

That makes sense...
In 2008, he was supposed to make appearances in DCA, but they were canceled.
It must be tough to be a robot celebrity.
But here's hoping that he will be back at the next D23 Expo!

And yet ECVs aren't a problem? :D: *ducks*
