Alice in Wonderland?

[leighe]

A friend of mine and her family (DH and DD3) are leaving for their first WDW vacation next week. DD is CRAZY about Alice in Wonderland (her grandmother made her the cutest blue Alice dress with a white pinafore, BUT has long brown hair which she begs her mother to dye blond - not going to happen). So anyway, where can you find Alice - character, merchandise, anything. I know she is at one of the character breakfasts but I don't really remember seeing her anywhere else. Any ideas? Thanks!

She's almost always at MK by the Mad Tea Party with a few of the other Wonderland characters. I've also seen her at MGM near the Sorcerer's Hat in the afternoon and in Town Square at MK after the opening cerimonies in the morning.

When we were in Disney world in April of 2003, we had breakfast at the 1900 Park Fare(in the Grand Floridian Resort) and Alice was there. They also had Mary Poppins, Mad Hatter and Pooh and friends.

That would be alot of fun for her to wear her Alice dress and to eat breakfast with the real Alice herself! That would be a very cute picture of them together!

Here's the # to call to arrange priority seating in advance- 407-939-3463
I would just call that # and ask if Alice still does the character Meals there.

I have also seen toys of Alice too. There is an Alice in Wonderland Doll(it's the size of a Barbie doll), I have also seen a plastic figure set, that has all the characters of Alice in Wonderland in it. And I think they might have some plush of the Alice and Wonderland gang too. A good store to go into is the World of Disney- in the Down town Disney area. And the might have a gift shop that is over by the tea cup ride(Magic Kingdom) too and who knows they could run into Alice there(sometimes the characters are over by there rides).

I hope this helps.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'm going to suggest that they book the Wonderland Tea Party - I forgot all about that. I used to love Alice when I was little too - there was something so fascinating about getting to explore a place like Wonderland!

we recently returned and saw the White Rabbit near the train at Toon Town. We also saw TweedleDee and TweedleDum by the Tea Cups. My daughter loved how they signed their names upside down in her autograph book.

I found Alice once in the World Showcase of Epcot, in England I think...

OK - I have to post this story here - it's just too cute. My friend (the one whose daughter loves Alice) called me last night from th e Poly. She wanted me to tell you thanks for all the tips. So here's the story - Yesterday was their first full day at MK. They went to afternoon tea at the GF and had seen Alice at the teacups - great day, right? Well, right after getting off the carosel (sp?) for the third of fourth time, DD3 starts crying and saying, "I want to go on bacation." (Bacation = vacation). They try to quiet her - she is standing there in her Alice dress with a brand new princess hat, one of those Tinkerbell twirly, light-up things in one hand and a mickey mouse popsicle in the other - the picture of a child on the perfect vacation - and they just can't get her to quit crying. DH is getting a little annoyed "If this isn't vacation, kiddo, I don't know what is." and my friend is all worried that they have this impossible to please child with unrealistic expectations. So finally they decide she needs a nap, so they get back on the boat and go to the Poly. When they got in the room she looks around, sighs, and says, "NOW we're on bacation." So they finally figured out that she thinks the hotel is vacation. I don't know what she thinks the rest of it is! I just thought that was kind of cute.
