I am a WDW vet planning a first trip to DLR in July. I always make autograph books for my nephews when we visit WDW and I've been spoiled by Kenny the Pirate's site which compiles detailed up to date info about characters at WDW. I've had trouble finding current info on character sightings in the DLR parks (not meals), and I noticed other WDW vets posted similar questions. So, I decided to compile a list of all the relevant threads dating back to spring 2013. I'm hoping that everyone who has been or is going this year will help me make this list accurate and as current as possible by letting me know who you saw and where. Thanks in advance!!
It's important for WDW vets to note that there are few formal Meet and Greets at DLR. Instead, the characters might appear randomly and roam.
