Any "unusual Character sightings" since May 5th?

[daisylove]

I had heard that Jiminy's costume has been redone. When I saw him last year it was right after the flower festival in Epcot on the bus. They said he comes out more for the festival. But on Regis I saw him and they have redone his costume. His head and body is larger. Hope he will be around on our trip.

We saw 2 pink Hippos and an ostrich at Epcot on Saturday. I think they are from Fantasia.

such incouraging news that there have been more Jiminy sightings. i am keeping my hopes up that i will find him on one of my next few visits.

the 24 year old photo of him and i that i take on trips with me is getting pretty dog-eared. He embodies the childhood memories of WDW that i have. I have to see him again and have a new pic taken with my children.

- ok, now i'm getting all drippy eyed. where's my tissue?!?!

- lori

It's nice to hear that there is a possibility that I could finally see Jiminy. Also nice to hear that others appreciate him as much as I do. Hope both our wishes to meet him come true. I will be in WDW in 24 days for 8 days.

I've seen Donald when we went in Oct 2003 and Sept. 2004. Both times he was right in front of the castle at MK. He was in the middle of the castle. We also saw him Sept. 2004 at Epcot on the character bus.

We saw the two hippos and ostrich in Epcot - got our pics with them. Saw all 7 dwarves and snow white in Germany...Aladdin and Jasmine in Morroco....Beast and Belle in France....timon in Epcot....
MGM saw Jo Jo and Goliath, chicken little, daisy duck, lilo and stitch, the pooh gang, minnie.....
saw lots of characters this past weekend!

We saw Donald last Monday when we were at MGM - He was on Mickey Avenue next to where Jo Jo and Goliath are, just before you get to where Socerer Mickey is. My husband and I both commented that there was a longer line to see Jo Jo & Goliath (about 10 kids or so) than to see Donald (about 3-4 kids).

I was also impressed at how short Donald is too!!!

Where in Epcot? I'm assuming they don't sign.


I had read that Donald was difficult to find, but on our Dec. trip we saw him in all 4 parks.

Hopefully the dwarfs & Jiminy Cricket will still be out when we go in Sept., DD would be so excited.

I didn't know Donald was that rare. I saw him in the tent at Toontown. Unfortunately, dd didn't get her picture taken with him since she was scared of him. I told him I'll take my picture with him next time. He seemed happy about that.

We could not find Donald ANYWHERE on our trip last year to DS's dismay. Donald is his fav character. We even went to Chef Mickey's but he was a no show. This August we are doing it right and going to AK to Donald's Breakfast. But go figure, we seen Pinocchio 3x and Jiminy Cricket. Here are some photos, I'm not sure if Jiminy's costume is the new one or not, we went May 2004, and we thought it was so cool to see Max:

I have seen mr donald at Chef Mickeys DINNER, In front of castle stage after old cindy show, on main street in circle area, at his breakfast and I'm sure other places. My Dh told me now I'm not looking for duck I find him everywhere.

I have seen Mulan at PSB in Norway, On bridge of international gateway of EPCOT, It seems like China, The big hat in MGM sometimes with Mushu.

My hard to find was Peter Pan!!!! So we do the ask CM thing and get to place and DH disapears with camera!!! Thank goodness for friends, I got my Autograph and picture.

My other Tricky oneto get was Rabbit from winnie the Pooh.

The one thing we did notice is that the Villans seem to be gone. The only villan we saw for 10 days was Hook.

 

[EEyorelover22]

We saw the Evil Queen last June at MGM by the hat. Cruella too at MK by the entrance. They are harder to find though. One that was really scary was Darth Maul during SSW.

I was wondering this. Anyone just back from WDW, have any unusual character sightings to talk about. It would be really great to see all 7 dwarves and of course Jiminy, just to name a few that never seem ot be around.>>>>

We got pictures and an autograph with Jiminy over at Animal Kingdom in early May! We were happily surprised to see him

Absolutely love your pics. I guess its looking better and better that maybe I will finally see Jiminy. I will be in WDW for 8 days. First day Downtown Disney, but 7 days in the parks. I am asking in each park about Jiminy, just in case, don't want to miss him.

We met so many characters this past March. I couldn't believe it.

We met Donald & Daisy together in AK at Camp Minnie Mickey. They were on one of the trails. We also met Minnie & Goofy there as well. Mickey had a long line so we did not see him then.

We also met Flik, Stanley, Pocahontas, Rafiki, Lilo & Stitch, Thumper at AK and 2 funny Dinosaurs.

We met so many at MK - Alice & Mad Hatter (my daughter rode on the teacups with them!!!!!), Ariel, Jasmin, Aladdin, Genie, Jafar, Woody & Jesse, Minne, Goofy, Chip, Dale, Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Aroura

There were more but I can't remember them at this point.

Enjoy,
Frank

magictrickboy71, When was your picture of Aurora in the blue dress taken?

When I started planning for our 12/04 trip everyone was saying Aurora only wore the blue dress, so when we had a dress made for DD we made it blue. Of course Aurora started wearing pink before our trip

Donald was in Toontown in the store that has the character greetings last week. He was not listed as a character. It said Minnie and friends or Micky and friends. It was Minnie, Goofy , and Donald. Very short line. Wendy was outside Pirates of the Carribean. Had never seen her before. Queen of Hearts has been at tea cups at MK last couple of times I was there. The Incredibles are at MGM-Disney Studios.

We've met Donald several times inside the Mexico Pavillion at Epcot, dressed as one of the Three Caballeros, I guess. Here's MY million dollar question...where can I find MULAN, other than at PSB??? She's DD's (10yo)favorite, JUST missed her in Dec. Three hours later at Candlelight Processional, DD heaved a huge, sad sigh, and said, "I just wanted to meet Mulan..." So sweet, so sad...

We met Mulan at Japan I think it was. No line at all. It was Spring break this year!

 

[ljb9539]

see Koda lately? I would love to meet him...

Also one of the funnies meets of a unusual character I had ever seen was a couple years ago and it was the villan from Mulan... He was in the shops in China and he was scaring the begesus out of a little girl by trying to take her "leash" (one of those kid coard things) - from her mom and pretending he wanted to take her... I felt so bad... I have never seen him again... but def unusal to me - sorry is isn't lately.

Last time we were there in Oct - we saw Max from Goof Troop - We were the only ones who went over there for photos - I felt bad for him. He was part of the Holiday Bus. Also on that bus was Mickey, Pluto, Turk, Donald, and maybe a couple more I can't remember.

We just returned from Disney World on the 24th. We saw Pinnochio and Gideon at MK. We also saw King Louie at AK. We've never run into them before so I thought I would mention it.
