Are there Jiminy Cricket and/or Tinkerbell characters anywhere in WDW?

[jasper]

Has anyone seen Jiminy Cricket or Tinkerbell? If so, where and do they sign autographs?

Thanks!

No Tink, but occasionally J. Cricket can be seen at Epcot. Try Italy. We found him there in August.

Jiminy Cricket is most certainly a meetable character at Disney! He is rare, as he does not do alot of meets throughout the year. He seems to pop up most often at Epcot, either in Italy or on the now-defunct Holiday Bus. There is the new Character Connection place at Epcot, so I don't know if Jiminy will ever greet in there instead. Rumor has it that he appears on Earth Day, April 22nd, too. We met him only once, on the Epcot Holiday Bus, and that was during the Flower and Garden Festival in May.

Jiminy signs an autograph with a little umbrella on it!

Tink is not a greetable character at Disney, though I think many would love to see her!

We got this pic last July at Epcot.

We got Jiminy's autograph at the Animal Kingdom on our first trip in 2002. My kids still laugh about it today because he spelled his name Jiminy CrEcket. He was at Rafiki's Planet Watch with a few other characters.

I have a shot of Jiminy walking in the parade next to Pinnocchio!!!! I've only seen Tink at night flying from the Castle.

I have indeed seen Jiminy in Italy last summer. I was waiting in line to see him and he had to move to another area and he told me to move! That's right, he spoke to me! Not in a character voice, either, but a girl voice! I almost told her helper but my mom told me not to! That is the only time I have ever had a character break thier act! It was devestating!

It's inside Innoventions, I think West. It's the Innoventions building that is closest to The Land. It's in an area that used to be a pizza place or some counter serve restaurant. But so far, it's mainly been a typical Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Chip, Dale, with an occassional Donald meeting area. I did some some different ones there once last week, with Prince John, Gideon, and King Louie out greeting. But I have no idea if Jiminy will ever be there or not - the Epcot Bus was great, I wish they will get back to using it!!

Has anyone seen Jiminy in January and if so where? I've never seen him and I would love to.

We'll have to look for Jiminy in Italy when we're there next week. And I guess I've been under a rock or something since I didn't know they gave the boot to the character bus at Epcot. We would have been standing in World Showcase Plaza for quite a while waiting for them....

Jiminy making an appearance is a long shot at best, but I admire your optimism!! You could also try asking at Guest Services, but I usually find they know nothing but the popular charaacters in predictable locations!

The Epcot Holiday Bus stopped appearing at Epcot recently in mid-November. No one knows if it will ever be back for greets during the day.

I saw Jimminy Cricket at Rafiki's Planet Watch in April on Earth Day.

That's still rumor at this point. It's yet to be announced by Disney (at least, to my knowledge). If it's changing by Spring, we'll probably be hearing something official pretty soon.

As everyone else has said, Italy at EPCOT is your best best of Jiminy, but he's still pretty hard-to-find.

We've seen Jiminy once at Epcot, but it was before the days of the autograph books! My DH is DESPERATE to get a pic with Jiminy, and he asks the front desk every trip (they know who will be at each park for the day). No luck since then

But we'll keep trying
