The one character you have to get a picture with? - The DIS Discussion Forums

cwcooper810 · 10-23-2009, 12:47 AM

Who is that one favorite character that you have to get a picture with when visiting the parks? My favorite is Donald Duck. Both times I visited WDW, I looked and never saw him. We went to Disneyland for my 24th bday this year. On my bday we went back into toon town, where Donald was supposed to be all day, nothing. I was so bummed. Our last day when we enter the park at rope drop, right at the entrance there he is!

Mine is Pooh. I have to have my picture with him every time. Good thing, he is fairly easy to find.

eternalsunshine · 10-23-2009, 01:59 AM

My favorite character is Donald Duck also and have been fortunate enough to see him twice (once as a kid, after 3 trips not seeing him) and then more recently as an adult... I asked the CM at the information desk where Donald would be and soon found myself getting a picture with him, very cool. He was the one character I HAD to get a picture with, success!!! I don't know why they make such a popular character like Donald such a rare character to find in the parks... weird.

As far as other rare characters I'm dying to get a picture with:

Roger Rabbit (which CM's say hasn't been out since his ride opened)
Anyone see him recently? Would be curious to find out... even in parades?

Brer Rabbit (rare as well, from what I hear)
Jack Skeleton (hear it's easy at Halloween time)
Capt. Jack Sparrow (sounds like this will never happen, took him out of rotation)

We like to try and find Scrooge. We have found him in MK before, but usually we don't see him out.

Vickis3js · 10-23-2009, 07:39 AM

Mine is Winnie the Pooh. I ADORE him. I was way more excited to see him them my kids this last trip. My DH said I nearly knocked my 7yo down to get to him. LOL

knieriem · 10-23-2009, 08:12 AM

I had to get a picture with Balu for my Papaw. Jungle Book is his favorite Disney movie and he still to this day talks about Balu scratching his back against and tree and he'll reenact it using a wall. He's turning 75 next month!! I'm hoping next year when he visits I can take him over to WDW and he can meet him himself. I'd love that picture!!

This time I'm on the hunt for Eeyore. He is my favorite character! I've never had a picture with him so this time since it's my birthday I'm going to get a picture!

hvivona · 10-23-2009, 08:16 AM

Maleficent! Love her, but have never been able to get a picture with her. Hoping to see her this december when we go. I'd love to see an evil villan all decked out in christmas attire

ShannonMB · 10-23-2009, 08:21 AM

My DD loves to meet characters, and I love snapping away with the camera. Usually I don't need to meet the characters personally, but there are a couple exceptions...

Last trip, I really wanted to meet Eeyore, and we did, at CP. Gave him a big

.

I REALLY, most of all, want to meet the Beast. I love him!

Hoping to see him in November.

My aunt, who will be coming with us on our trip, is a big Jiminy Cricket fan. I hope she gets to see him, too!

mrsbert · 10-23-2009, 08:22 AM

Now that I hear Thumper has been hopping around, I must get a picture of him. We arrive tomorrow!!

CarolAnnB · 10-23-2009, 08:52 AM

My DD16 LOVES the green army men from Toy Story. It started when the TS parade first came out many years ago, she was probably around 5-6. She thought they were cool and felt bad for them that most people wanted to meet Buzz & Woody, so she got pix with them. Now it is her tradition every year to find the Green Army Man for a picture.

Same here.....We will be there in December and cannot wait to meet him and his girlfriend. My DH loves Thumper so he is very excited about it. Now myself, I don't have one character that I have to meet, I love to see them all. However, for my DD6 it would have to be Minnie Mouse and my DD8 it would be Mickey Mouse and/or Pluto. Luckily I always make a character ADR so we can see each of them

iluveeyore · 10-23-2009, 09:25 AM

Just read my name! I get a photo with him every trip, that is my one goal. My favourite spot is at AK, and I also got a photo last year at our first visit to CP.

phins_jazy · 10-23-2009, 09:39 AM

Favorites for us this trip are as follows

Me= Eeyore
DH= Stitch
dd1= Tink
dd2= Ariel
dd3= Tink
SIL= Mary Poppins

We've made character meals to see stitch, eeyore and mary poppins. We hope to be at rope drop to see tink and meet ariel in her grotto. Oh I can't wait for december to get here!!!!

lovesmurfs · 10-23-2009, 09:53 AM

Tigger!! We have an ADR for CP just so that I can get a picture with him. Kids think I'm nuts, but we also have an ADR for Ohana so that they can get a picture with Stitch.

Mary T in PA · 10-23-2009, 10:16 AM

I enjoy meeting all the characters but really enjoyed Mary Poppins and Bert. For my kids, DD7 loves winnie the pooh. And DD10 cannot wait to meet Thumper and Miss Bunny.
