Any characters that you have never met as you are bothered about them and just not interested?

For me it is face characters and princesses.

Never been bothered about meeting princesses.
 
We'll meet pretty much any character but only if the queue isn't big. There's only a few characters I would willing join a long queue for (Mickey, Jack Skellington and Star Wars characters).

We have never bothered with Doc McStuffins, Jake, or Sofia.
 
We don't meet many princesses in our house. My boys just aren't into them. We met A&E last year (at my request) and that was probably the last time from princesses! I get the "but mom they're girls" line from my boys. LOL Oh well, maybe when they are older
 
For us it's princesses too. DS has no interest at all, but he does go if we are with his cousins, all girls ages 6-12. He would go if I asked him to go with me, but I am not a princess girl at all.
 

I never got the appeal for Marie, but I know she is beloved by many. I probably would have gotten around to her eventually, but now she's gone. I'm glad to have Stitch back!
 
We did very few characters this time compared to other times. The boys are older and don't care as much. We have never done the princesses. This last trip we did Mickey at the theater as we had never seen him talk. We did Chef Mickey's and Garden Grill and Beast at BOG. We did the Visa greet which was Pluto and Minnie, Character Spot at Epcot, Baymax, Pete's Silly Sideshow (because my youngest was insistent on meeting Daisy), and Chewie and Kylo Ren. For 9 days in the parks, we only had 4 days that we did any character meets besides dinners.
 
These are the characters we HAVE met - our favorites the Pooh gang, and the classic cartoon ones - Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Chip and Dale, Donald and Daisy. May have met The Little Mermaid once. DH and I did the Dwarfs and Jack Skellington at a Christmas party and met Beast at BOG. I have enjoyed watching Gaston interact but never got in line. We were never princess fans in our house, and kids didn't watch the Disney TV shows for kids so never had to do any of those characters either.
 
I don't even know who many of the characters are. Only the classics from when I was a kid. DDs were never particularly interested in meeting the Disney characters, but they liked the ones at Six Flags (Looney Tunes) or Universal or Cedar Fair parks. Still, they wouldn't tolerate waiting more than a few minutes to have a photo taken with a character.
 
If I haven't seen (or didn't like) the movie/TV show they came from, I won't make it a point to see them. That means Peter Pan, the Alice in Wonderland characters, any of the Disney Junior characters...

The exception was Frollo: I posed with him specifically so I could ask, "Who's this guy? Frodo?" just to see what reaction I got from him!
 
I doubt we do any this trip. My boys are 15 and 13, and they don't care. The 15-yo was 12 on our last trip, and he refused to have his picture taken with any, so we let him take a pic of the rest of us. I have threatened to make him wait in line for and have pics taken with Anna and Elsa as a punishment.
 
Characters with long lines, the Disney Jr characters, Mary Poppins, and my boyfriend didn't really like meeting face characters. I meet a couple princesses and probably wouldn't stand in a line to meet the same ones again unless it was very short or they were my favorite character.
 
Character meets are one of our favourite parts of Disney. Disney Junior characters would be the only exception for us. We also do not care to visit with characters that we have previously met unless there is a fun costume or something different than our previous meet.
 
Unless it's character dining, we don't wait to meet anyone. It's just DH and I... no kids. We are both native Floridians and have met everyone lots of times as children, teens, and adults. So, unless we REALLY want to see someone (usually Goofy or Alice!), we don't ever wait for character meets.
 
them all. We remember the day when they would just turn up in the parks impromptu and if you were right by them you were very very lucky and it was an amazing surprise.. Disney ruined it with FP greets and all such nonsense.
 
We only meet characters at meals and I have four kids lol. My boys don't care at all. They are happy to see them, especially Donald but no way would they want to wait in line. It's my daughters first trip so our first princess meal, maybe when she's bigger she will want to wait in line to meet other ones but not yet.
 
We prefer the face characters! Even moreso if they're villains.
