It was when the schedules/appearances for a bunch of characters changed. I think most of it is detailed in this thread:

Today we saw Chip and Dale plus Goofy and Pluto as we entered DCA on BVS. They were dressed up in vintage Hollywood outfits. Very cute!

THAT was a hoot!

FYI- we were there 5 days last week and saw Tiana out doing meet and greets in NOS in front of the train station close to the haunted mansion on 2 different days. One day we were in that area for quite a while and observed that she was taking breaks and coming back- so it looked like a regular formal meet and greet, not just a pop up character that was there for a few minutes and left. I don't know if it is more of a regular thing this summer, or just happened on those days.

The Princess we never could find was Aurora, which seems silly when she has a castle there! She was not at Ariel's Grotto when we ate there, and we checked Fantasy Faire every day for her, and the times we checked she was never there. It was always Snow White, Ariel, and/or Cinderella. We kept an eye out for her for 5 days, since DD wanted to meet her since her castle was there, and a CM had very nicely given DD a photo for Auroa to sign when she saw her and we never found her.

Also we saw Mickey at toontown twice last week and both times we got him in his regular red pants, yellow tie, black jacket outfit.

Mad Hatter and Alice will often walk through Fantasyland once, or maybe even twice, on a given day. All reports - and my own observations -indicate that Peter Pan is much less inclined to move around than before the Saturday Afternoon Massacre. Look for him in the vicinity of the wishing well. Mary Poppins and Bert occasionally take a stroll in Fantasyland.

I have heard, but can not confirm, that many Friends of Aurora are now Friends of Anna and Elsa

I'm subscribing to this thread. My first DL trip is in January for SW race.... super excited for the race and to see DL!

Any chance of seeing Lilo? We will be there August 3-7. Staying at Paradise Pier Hotel and having Surf's Up Breakfast so Stitch will be there. Just curious if Lilo was around...

No, unfortunately Lilo is not one of the regular character rotations at that breakfast. It is a family favorite, though!

You can see her in the Mickeys Magical Map show though. But no M&G.

Ahhhh- I can see that!

Captain Hook was walking around with Peter Pan today - so his exile may be over or he's going to intermittently appear or ...
[update: He was again seen in early August, so I'd consider him not banned, but with reduced frequency of appearances]

Look for Aurora by the wishing well. It looks like Snow White has taken her place in the Royal Hall - buy why?

I wonder if Alice has lost a friend or two recently [She has gained one in the last couple of weeks]. Mad Hatter was alone a couple of Saturdays, and both of them were absent on a previous occasion.

Subscribing. Been to WDW twice and am planning a DL trip next June. Google didn't offer up much of a character schedule.

So, unlike WDW, photographers aren't common with M&G's? Is PhotoPass+ worth it then?

Unfortunately Lilo isn't actually in Magical Map. They added Stitch in but not Lilo

Glad to see he was out, perhaps they will bring him out more often again along with the other characters, especially the Evil Queen!

Merida's meet 'n greet location was removed - she appears at Fantasy Faire outside where Belle and Rapunzel & Flynn greet guests while the other show is being performed in the Royal Theatre.

Does anyone know how the meet and greets outside the Royal Theatre have been handled lately? My daughter is really interested in meeting both Merida and Rapunzel and Flynn (who we *just* missed last time), so I know we'll be frequenting the area, but I wasn't sure if there was any kind of set schedule like there was before, with Belle being out during the Tangled show, etc.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

If you go see the Tangled (or Belle) show then hang around after, they come out and sign autographs and take pics. The CMs will tell you it's not guaranteed but after about ten minutes they show. What's great about this is only about a dozen people or so hang out to wait and they don't let people in who didn't see the show so they spend a good bit of time with the kids. I had read that the opposite (Belle or Rapunzel) meets outside during this but when we came out it was Merida. The meet happens the first two shows but not the third. When you walk by, you can see what show is coming up on the board. I am not a big show person but Tangled was super cute and I'd see it again.
