It was one of my main missions to meet Flik on our trip last week.
A Bug's Life is my favorite Pixar movie, and Flik is my hero!
On our first day at AK (a Sunday), I asked at Guest Relations where I could find him. They told me he wouldn't be out that day.
The second day (a Thursday), I asked Guest Relations before the park opened, and they told me he would be out at 12:15 in front of the park entrance. So, yes, you have to leave the park to see him there.
We went out there a little before 12:15 and he was already out there. I got in line, got my picture, told Flik he was my hero, and he drew a heart instead of a dot for the 'i' in his name

. I went to the bathroom after we met all the characters out there (Meeko, Brer Rabbit, Timon) and Flik left while I was in there. But after I got out and as me and my boyfriend were gathering our stuff, Flik came back out! With
Princess Atta! I was so excited! So, I got back in line a second time to meet them both together
