7-day Western - Which night is formal w/ characters?

[Cricket538]

Hi -
I'm wondering which night is the current formal night on the 7-day western. We're particularly interested in getting photos with the characters while THEY'RE decked out in their formal attire.

If formal night is Monday, here was our plan.
We have Palo ressies for that night at 8:00, and were planning on seeing the early show, dropping the kids off at the clubs, then rushing! to make our 8:00 Palo ressies.
How could we work in character photos to this scenario??? How's the photo w/ formal characters usually played out?

(would love some tips...)

thanks, as always!

Hi,

We were on the Hurricane shortened 9/27 Western and the Halloween 2003 Western itinerary, so unless things have changed (which I don't think they have) this should be good information.

Monday night is formal night where you'll see Mickey and Minnie in formalware. They make a return appearance on Thursday night (Captain's Gala) dressed in "seaware" - Mickey as a captain for example.

Other characters are out almost every night for pictures.

Hope this helps,

From what I remember the characters like that were out about 30 minutes before early dinner started and they left soon after it started. We would go out to the atrium after dinner around 7:30 I guess and stand in line for their return and got pretty close to the front of the line. They were out for another 30-40 minutes then. HTH. Maybe if you guys get dressed up early & go down about 15-20 minutes before they are scheduled to start you will be close enough to the front of the line so that you can go back to the stateroom to let the kids change before the show and then drop them off at the club on your way to Palo.
